Funny how an airplane that survived many missions in 5 days against the world's mightiest air-force without any casualties is killed by many here I guess you guys don't know anything about the C.X....

why is the Do24T being massacred?

Hi Marcel

Sorry about that, but there are more than a few anomalies happening here......

why is the Do24T being massacred?
why are Russian and French aircraft shot down in droves
why was the Macchi 202 written off
why was the oscar sent to the trash

etc etc

In the words of my generation sh*t happens

Absolutely, it's really interesting to watch as it doesn't so much reflect the quality of the a/c, but more so people's preferences and knowledge. The bias against French and Russian a/c on the forum is of course well known. Didn't know that it extended to other nationalities as well.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I too think it is funny. I find it funny that possibly the most capable and beautiful sea plane (Do 24) is being shot down amazingly fast. I will admit that I do vote against the French planes. Not because they are French however, or becuase of their capabilities. I vote against them based off of appearance. Quite frankly I do not like the way they look. That is why I vote against them. Rather funny, I know! I would never vote against an aircraft because of its nationality, that is just plain ignorant in my opinion.

[Arsenal VG-33]

Adler killes the Bloch,152 so it's been killed twice and the C.X just disappeared.

Not to mention between #1070 and #1071, the Hs 219 gets bumped up by 6 points quite mysteriously, and the MB. 157 is erroneously dropped by 2 points.

Marcel, I suggest we follow the trend and just add French and Dutch planes to the HoF without any voting at all.

I vote against them based off of appearance. Quite frankly I do not like the way they look.

What?? Are you really able to say this with a straight face? The MB.174 is a beautiful aircraft, but you've obviously proven this is not a criterion, other wise it would be in the HoF. But then I get your point, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I think the Do24T is ugly as sin.

 

[Marcel]

I too think it is funny. I find it funny that possibly the most capable and beautiful sea plane (Do 24) is being shot down amazingly fast. I will admit that I do vote against the French planes. Not because they are French however, or becuase of their capabilities. I vote against them based off of appearance. Quite frankly I do not like the way they look. That is why I vote against them. Rather funny, I know! I would never vote against an aircraft because of its nationality, that is just plain ignorant in my opinion.

You're forgetting the Bf109E I agree, one should not vote on nationality. I just vote for the more rare birds. We all know the P51, spit etc. So I vote for the piper, Fokker, Bloch etc. about which don't seem to be so popular.
