Ah quit complaining! By getting all defensive you merely acknowledge that you're wrong.

Erich, are you talking about something that could have been used to get close to Allied bomber formations? I'm not sure how effective that would have been. P-51s flying escort had to be careful as to how they approached bomber formations as they were often (especially the B model) mistaken for 109s.

not exactly but the aerodynamic shape. the Germans always were interested in oversized engines and more power, but they finally got it straight in 1945 with Ta 152 but too little too late...........and thank goodness !

actually I think the TA is just the big brother of the Dora. anyone share some drawings of the two in profiles just to show the similiarities ?

I'm outta here

elaborate please ! the dora ugly and why ? It's a sharp looking plane, not a big fat nose or fuselage, adequate firepower and service ceiling for combat.

The one under him? That's just a pitch, roll, and climb meter that happens to be a mini 3D plane. Dora is beautiful people!
