Best Fighter

[plan_D]

The Mosquito was the best all rounder of the war, precision bombing in the 40s at its best.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the mossie was only beaten in versatility by one plane throughout the whole war, and thet was the Ju-88, but plan_d's right, it was the better plane.....................

 

[cheddar cheese]

i prefer the 88 though 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it was ugly and slow..............

 

[cheddar cheese]

so was the lancaster 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

no it wasn't, it was faster than a B-17 and better looking than most planes.........

 

[cheddar cheese]

no it wasn't, it was faster than a B-17 and better looking than most planes.........

only faster in cruising speed, and what planes does the lancaster look better than

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it was 30mph faster cruising speed, which is quite a bit..............

and the lanc looks better than a P.108, so there..............

 

[cheddar cheese]

no it doesnt the P.108 is a beauty, the italians put great camo on their planes and it has swept back wings

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

just cos it has swept back wings, it don't mean it's good looking................

 

[cheddar cheese]

it does, the p.108 was a far better looking plane than the lanc

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

no it wasn't, the nose of the lancaster is one of the best i've ever seen..........

 

[plan_D]

I like the way a 'Best Fighter' thread becomes an argument on the looks of two BOMBERS!

 

[cheddar cheese]

ok, back on topic 8) best fighter was the hurricane 8)

*cough* the nose on a lancaster is the ugliest part *cough*

 

[Lightning Guy]

I'm not sure how you can claim the Hurricane was the best fighter of the war when it was the 3rd best fighter of the BoB.

excuse me? the hurricane was THE best fighter in the BoB 8)

 

[Lightning Guy]

The Hurrican was probably the most important fighter of the BoB and it had the greatest impact on that battle but both the Spit and the Bf-109 were more than a match for the Hurricane.

 

[cheddar cheese]

the hurricane was actually the most successful plane of all during the BoB, shooting down more german planes than both spitfires and ground attack combined 8) (i think)

[Lightning Guy]

I wouldn't doubt it, which is why I don't doubt it's impact. But I would have rather been flying a Spit, faster and a much better rate of turn.
