It's useless.

It's hard to teach Lanc-lovers the finer points of the B-17.

And remember, I'm still an admin. I can edit all posts as nessecary to win the arguments

sorry lads the lancaster is still my pick as heavy bomber just because it did what it said, that is, carried heavy bombs. a heavy bomber that only carrys the same weight as a medium bomber is just a four engined medium bomber so you have to get 1 1/2 B17s to the target to match the delivery of the lanc. however flying half a plane takes some doing . as for losses i believe you will find that even with guns sticking out in every direction and mustang escorts the B17 losses where about the same as the lancs (30,000 crew approx) for each model. Obviously having a large crew the loss of one B17 was equvelent of 2 lancs in terms of fatalites. I have to agree though the lanc was not exactly pretty but the only aicraft i would describe as pretty in the whole war must be the spitfire in my opinon the most elegant plane ever built.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i'm gonna have to say the concorde was the most gracefull plane ever

 

[Hot Space]

Nah...............The Spit 8)

Or B-17 of course

Hot Space

Spitfire was the most grafeful plane ever.

The B-17, of course, was still very much so

 

[Archer]

Most graceful plane is definately the Corsair

 

[Anonymous]

u guys are all wrong ME-262 wins by a LONG shot

 

[Crazy]

hmmm, the 262 is pretty good looking, but the Spit still wins out 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

WHAT!!!!!! the concorde looked fast just sitting there, unlike the B-17

 

[Hot Space]

Instead of the Lanc v B-17, why don't we decide which is better out of the B-24 and Halifax

I say the B-24.......................hate the Halifax

Hot Space

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well, i'm tempted to say the halifax cos it's brittish, but the B-24 was the better plane

 

[Archer]

B-24 because it was also designated the PB4Y-1 Liberator..and everyone knows Navy planes are better than Air Force planes

And Lanc, the Concorde may look fast sitting on the ground, but after one 'landing' on a carrier it'll be nothing more than an ugly wreck

 

[cheddar cheese]

ok, im gonna say somethat will upset the lanc.......... but ive been pondering over its looks for sometime now and ive finaly realised what it looks like. an upended telegraph pole

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the lancaster or concorde?

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

i think he means lanc (hopefully so )
