[quote="dinos7]definately the ohka or the me 163[/quote]

I'd still have to say the Ba.88. I dunno much about the Ohka. The Komet, besides having extremely volatile fuel wasnt actually that bad, it was a great plane to fly I've heard.

true but the comet wasnt that reliable and wasnt safe.

The Ohka wasn't meant to be a good plane- it was a flying bomb!

that's true i'd imagine she had exceptional low speed handling though........

FLYBOYJ · Aug 18, 2005

Actually the Ohka did sink some ships!

mosquitoman · Aug 18, 2005

Yes, but you didn't have a very big chance of surviving in it

FLYBOYJ · Aug 18, 2005

You're right, but surviving wasn't part of the mission profile!

evangilder · Aug 18, 2005

I would think you are the luckiest sombitch alive if you survive that!

fortunatly the germans weren't that way inclined, in their manned V-1s atleast the pilot gets to jump out before impact

Nonskimmer · Aug 21, 2005

None of those manned V-1's were actually deployed though, were they?

mosquitoman · Aug 22, 2005

I don't think so, the Amerika bomber version was manned but he wouldn't have had much of a chance to jump out and even if he did he would have landed very close to a nuclear explosion

the lancaster kicks ass · Aug 22, 2005

no they were never used, it was a joke..........

Nonskimmer · Aug 22, 2005

I know it was a joke, but I was wondering anyway. I was pretty sure none had actually been used.

Im glad that they didnt!

IMHO, the Fairey Battle was one of the worst aircraft, at the time of it's deployment.....perhaps it was the WORST decision, to continue to use it when they did, as they squandered the lives of valuable aircrew when they were most needed.....

Others may say the Boulton Paul Defiant, but I feel they did make a valuable contribution, particuarly to the initiation of British Nightfighting...
If they'd had an escort, they could've created some real damage during the daylight Blitz by coming alongsides the Luftwaffe bombers and letting-strip with the quad Brownings....I've always wondered how they would've performed with a Griffon and sensible wing guns too....

You can see what they were thinking now with that ''Lycaster''......

You couldnt get me into a comet if even you offered me a P51D Mustang or a M48A3 Patton!

Id get in it in May '45. Then id get the goodies but wouldnt be able to fly because of the lack of fuel

the only good thing about that show was when they had big fat texans on the show

Hey what about Texans. We're not all fat.

the lancaster kicks ass · Sep 8, 2005

one of the times i saw that show, they had fat texans on it, and that was the best part, at no point did i say there was a problem with texans or that you're all fat............
