The Fi-156 wasn't that bad, really. I mean, as a recon plane, it worked. Just like any other though, if there was another plane in the sky it was screwed.
Saying that, the PR. XI was pretty damn good.

I'll have to say that the Me262 was the best, on the simple reason it was the most effective. The Ar234 had the potential but it wasn't enough to be worthy of the best, a great recon plane, of course but not much else.

yeah its either the 262 or or the arado, both were great in their roles, but favouritism edges me to go for the arado

at what ?

considering the fact that the Ar 234 and Me 262 variants served and met Allied opposition I think that you can only consider one of the two as being the top notch jets.

Lancaster just gets stuck in his ways. We've already argued the 262 v. Meteor angle to great length. Clearly the 262 was better so just as clearly the Meteor should be out of the 'best jet' argument.

And the Me-262 'Schwalbe' should be the victor of it. The first Schwalbe lost to enemy action was over Brussels on 28th August 1944 shot down by two Thunderbolts...is this true?

After the war the Allies discovered weapons about to be tested on the Me-262 weapons such as the MG213 revolver cannon, the SG117 multi-barreled gun and the X-4 guided air to air missiles...scary.

It's good to read...

yeah i have to agree with you on the 262 there. 262 first, then the arado, then the meteor 8)

Ar234Bs did get the Remagen bridge after many failed attempts by the Me-262A-2a of the 3/KG 51 though. Just keeping the discussion alive.
