What was the worst Aircraft of WWII?

[Huckebein]

heh, but the Vengeance never even made it into combat it was so bad - The RAF received a load, flew one, and concluded immediately that they were totally useless in Europe and the pacific. At least they saw fit to give the Battle a shot...

Good point Hucke,


And HS, the B-17 ties the Lanc in the best bomber category 8)

The Lanc will win...........it's got Merlins 8) 8) 8)

lanc. easily, i mean, it could actually carry more than a matchstick, unlike the b-17

 

[cheddar cheese]

seems to me like the lanc. has resorted to extreme exaggeration but it seems to me like this crazy guy knows his stuff, and if he says its as good as a lancaster then i believe him

Don't forget the Fairey Baracuda , which had to be one of the worst war planes ever .

HOLY SHIT THOSE BOMBS ARE BIG!!!!!!!!! but plz lets get back to the original topic of shitty planes

 

[Crazy]

I've seperated these topics to keep this one on the subject of aircraft. The IL-2 topic is now in the CS forum

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

ok sry for posting that here in the first place its just i thought there would be more replies here (logically)

 

[Crazy]

rgrt, it's ok.

I'm just trying to keep things organized. It's more likely that people with FB would find it in the CS forum, though. Not everyone that comes here for my forums reads these topics

 

[nutter]

i do

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

good for you...............

 

[Crazy]

[Hot Space]
