What was the worst Aircraft of WWII?

[plan_D]

The Lancaster was a good bomber, a very good bomber. It saved many lives and surpassed all British heavy bombers but the B-29 was better even if it was a lot later.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

that's just it though, the lanc was designed in the early part of the war, i realise the B-29 was to, but the designed was upgraded throught the war, the lancs wasn't, it's technology was, but not the disign............

 

[plan_D]

Yes, but the B-29s to see service were better than the Lancaster.

the manchester was the worst plane ever

 

[Lightning Guy]

The Manchester was not a great plane, but it was probably better than any other British bomber in service at the time except for the Wimpy and the Machester had several advantages over the Wimpy. And don't forget that the Lancaster was little more than a Manchester with 4 Merlins instead of 2 Vultures.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well it pointless telling him that, he hates the lancaster, but the Battle or the Roc had to be the worst...................

 

[cheddar cheese]

but the manchester was the first plane ever with external combustion engines

 

[Lightning Guy]

Both the Battle and the Roc were worse and so was the TBD Devestator for that matter.

 

[cheddar cheese]

but i like the fairey battle

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

but for god's sake, the battle had only 1x303, what the hell's that gonna do!!!!!!!!

 

[Lightning Guy]

That's all the armament that the B5N Kate carried.
And there is nothing wrong with liking a sucky plane, just realize that it sucked.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i never said i liked the battle, and i fell sorry for anyone who does.............

 

[Lightning Guy]

Cheddar said he liked it. That's why I posted that.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

didn't read that sorry...........

and why the hell do you like the battle, it was crap, dare i say it, worse than the stuka................

 

[cheddar cheese]

the fairey battle is a gem of a plane the name, its so unoriginal

 

[Lightning Guy]

That's a bit hard to say. The Stuka had a better weapons load since the Battle was mostly limited to 250lb bombs. But that Battle also never really benefitted from the aircover that the Stuka got.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

bout the same aerodynamics of a gem to............

 

[cheddar cheese]

depends how the gem is carved

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

very poorly......

but seriously, would you want to be in a battle whan you saw the enemy coming up behind you.............

 

[cheddar cheese]

heh, i would make sure there was never an enemy behind me 8)
