No you aren't - no-one is - I'm not sure why they picked me but its no big deal - its not like i get paid to do this or something 8)

As for your arguments - argue away - I always enjoyed our little discussions

As for posts being deleted although as i've stated before it is not me thats doing it, i'm afriad that could be a common thing now - the Mods and Admin are keen to cut down on Spam as it is clogging up the site - there is too much of it and they have resorted to removing it manually (I think 8-[

) so i'm afraid if you guys want to keep your post levels up - cut the spam out and think of something useful to say - although i must stress SOME spam is acceptable :joker:

Listen matey, if I WANT to be toe-jam beneath your sandals, I'll bloody-well be such!

Anyway, the best tank killer of WW2 was the JU87 swiftly followed by the HS 129 and THEN the IL2. Not just my opinion, the statistics show more tanks kills per aircraft by the JU87 than any other. I point you all gently in the direction of my posts on Rudel's scores and he was just one flyer in a Stuka.

It's certainly possible the Ju87 and IL2 were top-scorers , but as far as the Desert Campaign went , the Hurricane IID with it's Vickers 'S' 40mm's contributed to Rommel's demise , punching holes thru all his panzers...

Hurricane ??? Hurricane IID??? Hurricane IID - it`s.... NOT GOOD PLANE...
Soviet pilots called this plane "grave".

kiwimac · Mar 28, 2004

The Hurricane was generally a nifty beast but putting two dirty great 40mm Cannons under her wings kinda made her a little unstable, especially at low level. Whereas the JU87 took to it like a duck to water !

Really? I'd HATE to think what they called their own planes then! :puke:

the only ground attack that was any good AT ALL was the stuka, it was invincible

You all have your opinions, I have mine.

The JU87 was not an attractive airplane but it was a highly effective one. Especially in the hands of someone like Rudel.
