Worst aircraft of WW2?

[the lancaster kicks ass]

and 100 were lost on operations.........

 

[lightning38]

I think the worst aircraft would be Italy's Fiat C.R. 42 Falco. It might not have been a bad plane before the war, but it was quickly outclassed by the superior monoplane fighters. Production was terminated in early 1942.

 

[mosquitoman]

The Battle, the Roc or the Botha were worse, they were underpowered, slow and had no useful defensive armament

 

[lightning38]

Yeah, the Roc was pretty bad wasn't it? The Skua too.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

oh the roc was worse than the skua, although interestingly when the last rocs were grounded and it wasn't worth repairing them, their turrets were useed for AA defence, so they weren't as useless as the Battle............

 

[mosquitoman]

The Skua was good!
The Botha has to be the worst, it was so bad it never made operational service

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

but that's true of many planes.........

You mad?! The best biplane of WW2. 8)

If it wasnt for your username, I would have got a lot angrier...youre lucky!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

define "best" because it could be argued the stringbad was the best.........

 

[cheddar cheese]

Sorry, I meant fighter terms.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well then it's the gladiator.....

 

[cheddar cheese]

Pfffft

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yeah i mean what did the gladiator ever do?? defend an island from attack from an entire air force??

Thanks.

But seriously, the Gladiator wasn't bad at all. Oh, and I take back what I said about the Skua. 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

of course the gladiator wasn't bad, because it was the best!!

 

[cheddar cheese]

Or rather if it would have been, were it not for the CR.42 8)

[the lancaster kicks ass]

Update.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i can't believe you just said that, we're talking about a plane obsolete before the war even started, sinking half an entire navy (well the big ships atleast) in one attack, helping to destroy a proud nation's finest battleship and even being better than the plane designed to replace it!!
