best fighter of ww II

[cheddar cheese]

me too, .50's are great

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

doesn't really make a differance when you've got 4x20mm...........

and some would considder .50 to be overkill against infantry..............

 

[cheddar cheese]

Better than being underkill....

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

.303 aint underkill...........

 

[Gemhorse]

Yep, s'true...they look good eh?...that's why I like my pic....

Found a pic in a book the other day of a Mossie attacking shipping in a Norwegian fiord, smoke from the cannons, kicking up spouts around the ships, awesome!....it's abit small, taken at a distance from another Mossie, so I have to get it enlarged, but it's rare to see the smokin' cannon, it's usually the rockets....

.303 aint underkill...........

Did i say .303 was underkill? No.

 

[lesofprimus]

When ur attackin ground troops at 250mph, u could be shooting BB's and it would still decimate troops... The .303 would suffice, the .50's would be better... An enemy on the ground had a chance of survival if hit by a .303... A .50 cal round basically blew off parts, chunks, or sections upon impact...

Overkill???
In combat theres no such thing...

 

[cheddar cheese]

Exactly

 

[plan_D]

Yes there is. Dropping a 22,000 lbs bomb to kill one, single, man is an overkill.

 

[cheddar cheese]

No, thats sadism

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

or as emma would call it normality.............

 

[cheddar cheese]

why would she call it that?

 

[lesofprimus]

Cause Emma is a Sadist???

 

[cheddar cheese]

If she is ive never noticed she'd would probably think 22,000lbs is a sum of money

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

you realise i'm talking about emma melia here, how can you say she aint a sadist..............

 

[cheddar cheese]

i dont know anything about her sadist levels

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yes you do................

If the Corsair was used in the European Theatre, what difference do you think this would have made to achieving Allied Air Superiority...?

 

[lesofprimus]

Hey Gemhorse, we revived the other Best Fighter Thread... There is a running total of votes there.... Make ur Corsair post there, so we only have 1 Best Fighter thread please...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

what difference do you think this would have made to achieving Allied Air Superiority...?

none, we got air superiority without it, and what would it do that current planes couldn't do anyway....................
