yeah, but the B-17 had a rubbish payload, i mean 6000lb, that's little more then the mosquito

It doesnt really matter,remember most american planes in ww2 had double row radial engines that put out almost 2500 hp.the 17 only had 4 single row 1200 hp engines,if they made them with double radials it and modifi the bomb bay to be bigger it could probually hold more than the lanc.But yes it is sad because the A1-skyradier (one of my favorite planes)with a single engine could hold more than a b- 17.

why are we talking about bombers here???we should move to my other subject on 17 vs lanc and talk about it there,this is sopposed to be about the mustang,lol

Why would anyone want to talk about Mustangs?????

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the argument between the mighty and gracefull lancaster and the crappy B-17 always ends up in every topic at some point

anyone know what 3500kg is in pounds? (lb)

 

[Archer]

7 716.178666 lbs

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

dont tell me, that's the payload of the P-108?

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

bet it is and i know how u guys complain about b-17 payload and it was pretty high its just that the bomb bay was tiny and that the usaac preferred armor and defensive guns over huge bomb loads with the surplus power

 

[cheddar cheese]

thanks

ok, so the payload of the P-108 is 7,716lbs (i rounded it down) but thats still more than the b-17 and i think the P-108 looks better and they only made 35 P-108's, so quite rare too

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

WRONG! b-17 could hold more than that AND they made 103 P-108's so think before you speak (sorry for smuttiness)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

don't you think there could have been another reason for only making 35 or 103 (depends who's side you're on) P-108's? think about it?

 

[Archer]

WRONG! they made 163 P-108's so think before you speak (http://www.comandosupremo.com/P108.html and http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/magazine/2000/12/stuff_eng_ibes_p108.htm)

But wait! They also only made 35 (http://www.tgplanes.com/planfile.asp?idplane=96)

I think we should just say that not many were built rather than argue about the number built

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

perhaps they were so secret that they didn't want people to know how many there were?

 

[cheddar cheese]

the lanc said the b-17 could only hold 6,000lbs im confused now

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

the lanc lies cuz it can hold 17,600lb max

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yea, but that's with huge midifications, the lanc could carry 14,000lb on a regular basis

 

[Viper]

Why would anyone want to talk about Mustangs?????

cuz mustangs are awsome,better than corsairs,corsairs are awsome but stangs are better.

...........lanc,admit it,ive said it before and ill say it again,sure the lanc was a way better bomber,but the fort was a way better plane,the lancaster graceful???? YEA RIGHT,ANYTHING BUT!!!. i think the word you are looking for is clumbersome and large and ugly
