I know it is your list and you can choose whatever you want but why the Me-110? A Fw-190A would do much better then a Me-110 yes the 110 was a good nightfighter but as a bomber interceptor? I am just wondering what made you choose this.
 
delycros, you have no transport, was the Me-262 B1 ever used as an elemantary trainer? and remember all planes on you list mush have seen active service with an air force in WWII..........
 
sorry you must have wrote that post just before i did mine, i kinda like the Me-110, i know a little about it's use as a NF and she was heavily armed..............

to be honest i'm not that happy with my list, it needs improving but i don't know what with...........
 
Dont take me wrong I like the 110 as I am a Luftwaffe fan I can just think there were some better aircraft out there than that and there was. I would switch out the 110 and the beaufighter with something else.
 
Mine would go something like this:

B-29 - Very Heavey Bomber
B-25/Mossie - Strike Attack/Medium Bombing
C-46 - Cargo
P-38 - Fighter, Long range escort, Recon
Typhoon/P-47 - Ground attack/Straffing
F4U - Carrier fighter/Attack
Avenger - Carrier Bomber/Cargo
PBY5A - Scout/Rescue
Reserved for A/C built for new conditions

Minimum aircraft maximum capabilities, parts exchange ond coverage. Other planes could have been included or exclusive (Mossie, Spit, etc.) but parts exchange suggested 1 country for sourcing.

MOSIN
 
OK my list
Heavy Bomber...........................B29
long range Support fighter..........P51 Mustang
Low level/pathfinder Bomber......Mossie
Ground attack...........................Tiffy
Fighter......................................MKXIVE Spitfire
Recon ......................................stripped ME 262
Anti shipping ............................ Beaufighter
Transport.................................. C47
Trainer......................................Harvard
 
I luv the lanc but I think the B29 was a more advanced plane
the Mossie has to be in there as I personally think it was
about the most versatile aircraft of the war not only that but it did it all so well with a bit of conversion it can be my night fighter as well.
The mustang doesn't need any introduction its kill record says it all.
Same goes for the Tiffy in its ground attack roll.
The Spitfire because its a spitfire I still rate it as the best of the best
Bit controversial with the Beaufighter if it was purely on my favorite I would have picked the Stringbag.
C47 what else could it be for transport.
and the Harvard although I like the Tiger moth the Harvard being a mono plane was a better intro to modern aviation.
Oh I almost forgot the ME 262 because without the armaments it would have pushed its speed way beyond the normal 540mph (unmatchable)
 

Nice list for the most part but I there were many carrier bombers better then the Ju-87 especially since it did not see sevice as a carrier bomber. The P-51 as a Carrier Fighter? Correct me if I am wrong but I dont think they ever served on a carrier. Ju-87 as a Torpedo Bomber? Same thing as the P-51. Ground attack I would would have gone with a Hs-123 over a Ju-87.
