You need to steer it (...dump it to your desktop for now), or for some reason, lower your security settings (I have no viruses, am not intentionally sending one, please scan the file after downloading).

On Jon's Fighter Performance Chart. He's done a great job quantifing the performance of the top 12 or so fighters that fought in WWII.

I think its pretty close.

Jon you might be interested in the last post in the Corsair versus Lightning thread by GregP. I

I have never heard anyone mention a preference for the wing mounted armament over armament grouped directly foward, except when strafing troops, where 1 bullet can kill effectively.

...Well I'm Back!
I've been working, working on the table. Revision (5.6). The last revision for a while, maybe (probably) the final. The research is no longer 'fun'. Anyway, 21 aircraft in total. Download it if you dare.........

I will be reviewing the postings I missed tomorrow.

BLAH BLAH!!!

At the end of the day it was NUMBERS!!!!

The P47s all but neutralised the Luftwaffe (ashes to my tongue but true) then the SWARMS of allied (including over 60,000 Il2s and Yaks!!!) aircraft flown by well trained, keen young pilots finished them off!

Forget the heroic individual battles between this Ace and that Ace, this fighter and that fighter! They simply didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning....and a jolly good thing too!
 
Funny how all the 'Armchair Experts' never mention Russian aircraft when blathering about the merits of WWII Fighters!! The Party Line seems to be P51s and the 'Also-Rans'.

The Yak3s and La7s ran rings around ALL the Luftwaffe piston engined fighters in air combat....NOT only when they had the numbers either!
 
I dont think youve been here long enough to have read all the threads about P38's, P47's, Typhoons, Spitfires, Hurricanes, P40's, Hellcats, Corsairs, P39's.........blah blah blah

And that isnt even counting the threads for the axis aircraft.
 

Actualy the Yak-3 is included in the chart. According to the chart the P-51 is 8th , 16 points behind the 3rd place plane.

The thing is, Tiger, no one knows the truth about the fighting in Russia, the records, to put it kindly, are inaccurate.

I recommend you look at some of the other threads, for the most part you'll find quite the opposite.....
 
There was a small error in shading (no numbers involved) I found due to my visit to the P-47 Vs F4U-4 thread. I kept the file title the same, as I feel the error to be so very minor... But, consistent with the personality of one who would create such a table, I feel I must re-post.

To all, I thank you again to the mostly positive feedback I see on the site with regard to the tables.

Oi, stop putting the British aircraft in Greek numerials...it's Roman numerials...Hurricane Mk.IIC, Spiftire Mk.IX etc. etc. jesus christ!

And Tiger..I'm still drunk from last night..so don't expect a witty reply...but I'll just say - shut the f*ck up, you kangeroo bumming tart.
 
Ah know ye're fae a broken home, an ye've goat a drug habit, an ye're a victim o' society, an ye've got low self esteem. Noo pit the video doon an get oota mah hoose afore ah take this cleaver tae yer haw maws ya wee burglin' bastart.

How do you like my Scottish?
 
You know I was born in Scotland, right? And that was sh*t, luckily for you I read it like a Scot ...so it wasn't THAT bad first time around.
 
Tigerdork, the next time u refer to the members here are "Armchair Experts" I will personally ram a yellow card up ur ass.... U dont have the first clue whats going on here, or the information that we have talked and rehashed over here at this site, or the individuals that u are insulting...

If u want to be a part of this circus, I STRONGLY recommend that u go back through and read alot of the older posts and acclimate urself to the way things happen here... Otherwise, if u continue to run ur yap the way u have in the first 5 posts, ur stay here will not be an enjoyable one...
 
Hussars don't even try Scotch-Gaelic, cause your's sucks big time.....

a suggestion Tiger and all newcomers before replying, please go back as Les recommended and re-read older posts of some years gone by and the old archivs's

if not then : Is minic a bhris be'al duine a shro'n.
