50 hour (if you were lucky) engines, and airframes with dissimilar metal construction, (if you even know what that is) little or no corrosion control process during construction and no I really wouldn't want to have flown on in its WW2 combat form. BTW I have flown jets and know what it takes to maintain and operate them. Can you say the same?
Wrong again pal, if you read my earlier post you would find I have nothing but admiration for German WW2 aircraft which I know were superior to many allied birds.
Read my post again pal, there was a lot more than that which was needed to make it a safe reliable combat machine - it was too little too late. For a noob here I suggest you read several threads on get your facts straight about what some of the membership have said earlier in this thread, let a lone our backgrounds in aviation....
Just to humor you - FW 190D (My oppinion the best fighter of the war, Bf 109K series and the Ta 152...Wow, I really don't know what to say,

Read above and they weren't crap...Which German crap plane was superior to allied planes?
Well Germany lost, you want to rewrite history?The Germans didn't have a single plane that contributed to winning the war, only loosing.
The Me-262 fell apart, the Ta-152 not even really in Service,The D's just barley touching a P-51 and didn't win the war, the Bf-109s ??? or do you reflect in allied birds, more the Russians and English?
Tell me more, please
Glad to see that u finally agree that the 47 did infact influence the 130...
if you guys consider the adapting of a cockpit layout and a cargo door as influential to any modern transport a/c, well then I feel free to let you have your own opinion to that.

All the above - even with the FW 190D, Me 262 and late model Me 109s with the best pilots flying them, it was all too little too late and that's not my opinion. I could go into another dissertation why the Luftwaffe lost but I thin its quite evident...
I stated that the Me-262 is to me the greatest aircraft of WWII, because it marked a new era in aeronautics and future layouts of modern air forces, therefore it moved the props into history.
Wespe said:I stated that in comparable mission spectrum the Me-262 could do the same as any prop but at 200km plus.
And blunt -Tanks
I knew that you Americans can be so generous if you want to.
It's a little bit beyond opinion, about 70 year's worth...
You don't get it do you? "the most influential in the role it played in WWII" did I ever state that the C-47 did NOT PLAY AN INFLUENTIAL ROLE IN LOGISTICS????
Wespe said:Since the Me-262 did go into action in March 45,
Wespe said:And because the US won, everything that contributed to WWII must off course be American or in the worst case British, otherwise how could they have won? And the best tank in WWII was the Sherman, because it influenced the Abrahms (they both have a cannon) and It contributed to winning the war.
If every future discussion comes down to contribution (winning) towards the WWII, than what do you want to discuss about ?
The Ta 152 better than .......
Answer NO because it didn't contribute
The 109 better than .....
Answer NO because it didn't contribute
MK 108 better than ...........
Answer NO because it didn't contribute
Did the Germans have anything at all?
Answer NO because it didn't contribute
Anything else?
Heeeyyy,
did I say that I agree ? I said I do not know much about Transportplanes, so if you guys consider the adapting of a cockpit layout and a cargo door as influential to any modern transport a/c, well then I feel free to let you have your own opinion to that.

Actually I cant find the Ju 90, there's a C-130 below.Hey great pictures,
so what is the difference between a Ju 90 cockpit and that of the C-130 ?
I am sure you have a picture, if you don't mind please post it.
No actually when you stated "Come on Guys it was just a transport" and basically implied that it could not have had the impact that it did on the whole war and could not have possibly been the best aircraft used in WW2 you started this...
Now if you wish to end it, prove us wrong.
Okay, the best plane in the world is a B 29 because it carried a lot from here to there, dropped the A bomb and caused Japan to surrender. And it is the forefather off all modern Bombers.
Proof me wrong
No in this thread you stated the Me-262 was the best aircraft and that it was the most versatile and you said this in another forum as well. Go back and read you own posts.
Okay, the Me-262 was crap and acctually could not do anything a prop plane in a similar mission and configuration could do especially not faster.
And the P80 would have kicked its ass because all modern jets derive from the P80.
proof me wrong

I don't have to, there are 36 pages in this thread and I don't want to go through your runarounds. Who do you think you are?
