It was a bit different looking, but in a cool sleek sort of way!

the lancaster kicks ass said:

ok so you can make you dream WWII single engined fighter by taking different aspects of different planes, the only rules are as we're talking about single engined fighters all aspects must be taken from singled fighters and no more than two aspects from each plane, i realise that's a bit confusing so observe:-

manouverability- A6M5 Zero
Range- A6M5 zero
Durability- P-47D thunderbolt
Ease of repair and manufacture- Hawker Hurricane
Speed- Do-335 Pfiel
armourment- Fw-190
payload- stuka
ceiling- Ta-152H

that's all i can think of at the moment, you see what i mean now.......

A6M2 Zero
Mustang
Hellcat
Bf-109
*EDIT*AGAIN*-Me-263
Fw-190A
Corsair
Bv155


There we go, you already provided the parameters, I just plugged it in...

actually there was no mention of piston engined planes in my post, jet and rocket planes arer accepted, just as long as they only have one engine...............

and i realised last night i put said i'd have the speed of the Do-335, however that was a twin engine, i'm supprised no-one pointed that out, as such i wish to change my chosen fighter for speed to the Me-163 Komet.................

If you go with Jets, only a few hundred could be built per year at best. Producability (is that a word) is also important. Jets should not be included in this catagory, as they were not producable in 1945.

I hink this is just a fun thread for you to say what parts of planes you would have to creat your "ulimate fighter". If we were being serious I could have ripped it to shreads by now

and that's why we can take charactoristics from other aircraft, i chose the reliabilty and ease of manufacture from the hurricane, that means that the entire made up aircraft will have the reliabilty and ease of manufacture of the hurricane, including the engines...............

But with the other characteristics from the other planes there is no way that'd be possible.

But like a say, its a fun thread.

I find it interesting that whenever the question of the Best fighter comes up the P-38 is excluded!
