What does your 1941-1942 carrier plane force look like?

[syscom3]

The Seafire is a dubious choice. Fragile airframe not designed for carrier ops, and poor endurance for a naval aircraft.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Just like the Bf-109T.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

but better looking..........

but for the atlantic and med. they needed an intorceptor, which the spit was, you want to go off bombing somewhere or provide escort, take a firefly.........

 

[syscom3]

I will agree better looking. However, for convoy protection you want a fighter with a good radius of action so it can intercept the intruders as far away as possible.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

but better looking..........

Thats a matter of opinion.

 

[syscom3]

I will agree the seafire was the best looking carrier fighter, untill the Corsair became operational.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i'd take a spit over the corsair for looks anyday........

 

[Gnomey]

i'd take a spit over the corsair for looks anyday........

Me too, although the Corsair isn't bad.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Id rather have the Corsair.

 

[delcyros]

The corsair looks powerful, impressive and tough but in pure terms of aesthetics it isn´t comparable to the sleek lines of a Seafire.

 

[MacArther]

1941-1942, the corsair appears in early 1943 off of land bases, late 43-44 it starts its carrier life.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the corsair's just a bloody tube? the one and only good looking thing are the gull wings, the spitfire has superior looks in every department..........

 

[syscom3]

The corsair looks like its meant for business.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yeah, you know it's out to get you... whereas you see the spit and cannot help but look and wonder at it's immence beauty, then when you're transfixed... WHAM............

 

[cheddar cheese]

Thats a lie and you know it The Corsair is damn hot.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it's a toilet roll tube with wings that were designed by someone incapable of using a ruler, proberly Martyn

 

[cheddar cheese]

In capable of using a ruler? It seems that the Spitfire was designed my someone who was so much of a timmy they werent even allowed a ruler is case they hurt themself, thus having to design elliptical wings

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Id take a Corsair over a Spit anyday also. More rugged and tougher.

 

[Gnomey]

I would fly whatever the command gave my unit if that was Corsairs then I would fly Corsairs if it was Spits I would fly Spits...

 

[FLYBOYJ]

I would fly whatever the command gave my unit if that was Corsairs then I would fly Corsairs if it was Spits I would fly Spits...

GOOD MAN!!!
