Best Sounding WWII Fighter.

[FLYBOYJ]

Hell yea Joe....

Because of my upbringing, I'll always enjoy the sound of the Corsair best of all....

Yep - I could understand that..

Here's the classic "start up." I get a woody eveytime I hear this.....

I dunno if its because of the quality or what, but to me that sounded like a broken toilet trying to flush...

- actually what you are hearing is the starter engaging and the engine turning several times, then the big radial actually turns over....

Ahhhh - music to my ears!!!

 

[lesofprimus]

Mine too, thanks Joe...

I like them all, and I've heard most of them. The P-38 sounded smoothest by far and the Tigercat is the most rambunctious! 8)

I would have thought you would selected an Iron Works plane.

Seeing how u havent yet familiarized urself with the Senior Members here, I grew up in the throngs of drunken Black Sheep, as my Grandfather was one of em....

 

[HealzDevo]

I go for the Spitfire as the best sounding WW2 Fighter, especially starting up.

 

[[Gavca]CrossBones]

S!


I agree....Merlin`s Spitfire

 

[Hot Space]

I quite like the sound of a RR Griffon Engine. Sounds like a engine that was made by men for men........if you see what i mean: i.e A real deep, growling sound when at full bore


That still sounds gay........nevermind lol

 

[Nonskimmer]

That still sounds gay........nevermind lol

What? Never.

But I agree about the Griffon. The Merlin sounded grand too, but the Griffon...8)

 

[Hot Space]

It just sounds like it's got a lot of grunt to it

 

[Nonskimmer]

A bit like me after good feed of fried pepperoni, only not as stinky.

 

[Gnomey]

That it does HS 8)

Excuse the crap quality (I took it on my digital camera) but you can really here the sound of the Griffon

 

[loomaluftwaffe]

nice

 

[Nonskimmer]

Ah, the throaty roar of a Griffon.

 

[Beni]

I ereally love the sound of any merlin engine...But I think the sound of the mercedes engine of first series of bf 109 is really elegant

 

[loomaluftwaffe]

and mean...

M8 I love u. Just can't get enough of hearing the Griffon

 

[kamata93]

I am amazed that only one said something about the Me 109....So my top 3 are:

1. Me 109
2. FW 190
3. Zero

Mosquito, one Merlin sounds OK, two sound simply wonderfull!

Any aircraft with a turbo supercharger would have sounded smooth and silent, the turbine silences the exhaust. That leaves perhaps only the P-47 and P-38 fighters and the American heavy bombers. The Merlin was very noisy in the cockpit, it could be very fatiguing. Even the Me 109 was considerably quitter due to is low exhaust placement from the inverted engines. I believe the sleave valved Bristol Hercules used on the Beaufighter could be distinct due to the absence of poppet valves.
