Best Nightfighter of WW2

[Erich]

the problem is CC where does he get his victory confirmations ? they have to be from US archiv-night fighter association sources or they are doubtful and worthless. you knows the guy could have goofy info and just place a bogus claim on a bogus date. you see what I am talking about of course as so many believe the net info without question.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

so the P-38M never actually scored a kill at night during the war??

Bad luck CC

 

[cheddar cheese]

I know...im still trying to find this damn website though

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

not looking very good for your argument is it??

 

[cheddar cheese]

I know, if you go back a page youll see I conceded it...Im still looking for that damn site though so Erich can verify it...

 

[Medvedya]

I am on the hunt for a new sig pic. any sugestions on topic

Is that you in the existing one?

 

[MP-Willow]

No, this picture in my sig is not me. But what do you think of it?

 

[cheddar cheese]

Its great 8)

 

[MP-Willow]

Thanks. I am still looking for more info on the bomber.
Your P-108 is not that bad. Sad the plane was dumped

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yep, sure is I wish there were some better pictures of the 102mm cannon equipped on the P.108A, but only 1 was built and pictures are very hard to come by.

 

[MP-Willow]

but that cannon was not that great for the P-108. But that can be discussed on the bombers topic not "nightfighter", yes ?)

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yeah, occasionally the Cannon ripped out the fuselage

Hmmm...any other debate for nfs?

How about Soviet nightfighters?

 

[Erich]

no Soviet nf's sorry. Yes I know about the ill attempt at using the lend lease Hurricane. there was several modifications to the Po-7 but nothing successful. the Soviets did not use aerail radar systems and the German nf's had a crap of a time intercepting the usual slow moving bi-planes and twin engine bombers over Russia. The lend lease B-25 though was a bear to catch, especially with an overloaded Do 217

[cheddar cheese]

Was the Pe-2 not used in the role?

 

[MP-Willow]

CC, that was a good question, so I will look it up, but I have never found any referances for Russian NFs.

CC, question is that an Italian fighter? Looks like the Re2000?

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yes it is an Italian fighter, but no, it is not the Re-2000, the Re-2000 had a radial. It is the MC.202

 

[MP-Willow]

Opps
I should have picked that up. the MC. 202 was a nice plane, even ome fought with the south when Italy fell out of the war, yes?

 

[cheddar cheese]

Most likely, but by the time Italy signed the Armistice they were just introducing the Series 5 fighters into service (MC.205, Re-2005, G.55) and they were used in preference over the older MC.202.
