hello all, and erich, unfortunatly I shall ask again. meaning this in the best possible respect.
no, i do not believe everything I hear, thank you very much. I took that data from 3 different websites and cross-checked. prehapes I don't have credibility, but I think I did a fair amout to check if it was a fluke. That said, thanks for telling me the stripped down version traveled at 413mph. I was doubtful, that was compareable to many single engined fighters of the day
still, Eric said the pilots were proud to have an aircraft that could outrun a misq., out of curiousity,was this the stripped down A-6 version for misq. hunting? it traveled at 404mph, my impression being this wasn't a mainstream type, the A-5 and A-7 were
arodynamicly, my very unprofessional eye says the he 219 was quite a bit better, but that doesn't count for much
erich pointed out something interesting that the he 219 replaced me 110 units, which I'm pretty darn sure the he 219 is better then the me 110...(its that blasted ju-88 thats bugging me
)
I asked this earlier, but what altitudes did the lancaster cruise at? this is the altitude all german night fighters probably should be compared at. I know this is working off of the "ideal world" concept, but...
another ideal world concept, what was the sortie/kill ratio of the ju-88 and he-219(probably mid-1944 ish)? that could really settle matters, and an incentive for erich, once done you never need argue this point again. really, if you got that, somebody would have a hard time going against it, (but matenence...why is it always so hard to pin down best anymore? just to many factors...) and I would like to meet this (guy)(I am editing your post out of protection of certain individuals) you seem to imply we have many similar qualities...(did he suffer any emotional breakdowns?wait..... on second thought, don't want to know
)
he 219 fans, I live, but a misq. hot on my tail...
