Best Fighter

[cheddar cheese]

i doubt it

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it sooooooooo has..................

 

[cheddar cheese]

it hasnt, when you put auto pilot on it does do some pretty strange stuff

 

[plan_D]

It's quite believable, after all it's only a computer game. I still find that B-1B picture impressive.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

ah, so that's why you get shot down so much......................

 

[plan_D]

Me? I never get shot down, I always try and show off and crash. Or I run into others while trying to shoot them down. I've only actually ever been shot down once, and that was by a Fw-190 that raped me while I was in a MiG-3.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

sorry about that, i was replying to C.C., you must have just snuck in before me.................

[the lancaster kicks ass]

if you'd have gone back a page, you'd understand..............

 

[cheddar cheese]

i did, i still dont see the problem...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

forget it.............

back to best fighters, which, in your opinions, was the best american fighter of the war..................

 

[Lightning Guy]

P-38 Lightning. It was the only American fighter in service for the entire war, it was certainly the most versatile of the American planes, shot down more Japanese than anything else, and during the critical parts of the bomber offensive (1943 until D-Day) it was the only Allied fighter capable of providing cover over the targets.

i think that in terms of performance however the P-51 was the best??

 

[cheddar cheese]

nope im in agreement with LG 8)

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

no it hasnt, it doesnt have anything that says it been shot down on it eg Engine: Inoperable; Fuel tank: leak

That's all right, but it would only say that for my plane (Fw-190 A-9 With 2 2xMg151 pods) in that run, not the B-17. Anywho, it was just banking. I had no hits on that plane as well. As you can see, i had no ammo (for the pods) but I was still closing in to finish him off with the fuselage guns. The reason the bloke is so low is because I started the mission at 100 meter altitude. (I think i still have the video...)

 

[Erich]

Fantasy ? The Fw 190A-9 never had any underwing pods fitted.......

 

[rcristi]

i think that in terms of performance however the P-51 was the best??

Nope, the TA 152 was the best.

Cheers

 

[Lightning Guy]

The Ta-152 waws hardly an American fighter.

P-38L was faster than the P-51D above 15,000 ft and could outclimb/outdive it at any altitude. It also had an equal or better turning radius at any altitude. P-38L also had better range.

 

[cheddar cheese]

and it was more american too

 

[plan_D]

It sure was, and it was really uneconomical like anything the Americans build. You can just tell it's American, I'm in agreement though the P-38 was the best American fighter. I think my second would be the P-47...
