Best Bomber

[plan_D]

What fighter? My pictures were a Mosquito and B-2 Spirit.
I've agreed with you in the past Lightning.

 

[Lightning Guy]

Just not so much lately. So I appreciate that. Thanks.

 

[plan_D]

Yes, well, we can't agree all the time.

 

[cheddar cheese]

C.C. you should change your flag, or be posting more Ruggian aircraft

Nope, im sticking with the soviet flag always have, always will...

 

[plan_D]

He's a Red, with his Soviet flag held high, he'll...what will he do?

I don't know...

..neither do I

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

And the B-29 was easily the best bomber of the war.

no it wasn't!!!!!!!!

 

[cheddar cheese]

what was? and dont say the lancaster because it wasnt

 

[plan_D]

The B-29 Superfotress was the best bomber of World War 2. The End.

 

[Lightning Guy]

Better speed, range, altitude, bomb load, bomb sight, and defensive armament than the Lanc. And, by the way, was pressurized. B-29 was the best of the war.

 

[plan_D]

Agreed.

 

[cheddar cheese]

yup 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the lanc carried better electronic eqipment..............

 

[Lightning Guy]

The B-29s were already carrying H2X. And that equipment was required to fulfill the Lanc's mission. The B-29 was a daybomber and didn't require all the gizmos.

 

[MP-Willow]

The B-29 was the newest so yes it could be the best. But then it also did not have to fly through a lot of the fighters that the B-24s had to in Japan. I would have loved to see how it could have worked say in 1943 when the B-24s were fighting off fighters. 8)

 

[brad]

who is that woman in mp-willow's sig

 

[cheddar cheese]

its eleanor roosevelt i think

 

[Lightning Guy]

It is Mrs. Roosevelt. I think the B-29 would have handled itself very well in the raids of 1943. In had more (and more accurately aimed) guns. I'm not claiming it could have flown into Fortress Europe unescorted without losses, but it would have done at least as well as the B-17 and B-24.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

which in the B-17's case, isn't actually that good.................

 

[cheddar cheese]

nice to see you getting nostalgic lanc
