Best Fighter

[cheddar cheese]

best fighter has to be the huricane 8)

 

[Lightning Guy]

Oh not again.

 

[cheddar cheese]

oh yes again

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it wasn't the best, that title goes to the meteor................

 

[cheddar cheese]

the meteor was too underdeveloped in WW2, the hurricane was far more successful

 

[Lightning Guy]

I thought we had settled that a 262 would spank the Meteor.

 

[Maestro]

It's hard for some peoples, like C.C. or me, to change their mind.

SPITFIRE MK. IX RULES ! 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

no we didn't, and before you say the meteor was to under developed and the 262 was faster, a F.3 could hit 548mph, not at all bad...............

 

[Lightning Guy]

When did the F.3 enter service? And that is just 8 mph faster than the 262 (which was also better armed by the way).

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

44/45, i can't be sure, but it was a long time before the wars end..............

 

[cheddar cheese]

the meteor wasnt a match for the 262 during the war

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

that's because they never met................

 

[Lightning Guy]

I just did a little checking and the Mk.III did see service during the war. It's top speed, at least from the sources I have, was only 495mph which is a far cry from 548mph. Advantage 262.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

not according to my sources......

it was better than the 262..........

 

[Lightning Guy]

I never seen a speed that high listed. I will still go with the 262 being superior to the Meteor.

 

[cheddar cheese]

and me, the 262 was a pioneering jet and a good one at that 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it was good yes, but do you really think it could intercept V-1s liek a meteor could?.......

 

[Lightning Guy]

Why not? P-47s, P-51s, P-61s, Spits, Tempests, Mossies, and Fireflies all intercepted V-1s.

 

[cheddar cheese]

well theres no point in it intercepting V1's is there....

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

if they're heading for you capital there is, you're from london, you never know, i could have killed some of your family, then you'd wish you'd intercepted it.................................
