Remember the WWII sim players mantra, whatever the Allies or Japanese built, the Germans built a better one.[/sarcasm]

BTW Spitfire MkXIV is the most beautiful piston engined aircraft ever built, followed by the A6M5 Zero.

P51D without a doubt is best looking piston plane. I personally find the spitfire ugly, its wings are horrendous.

Mustang looks like a really pretty girl... whose pregnancy has spoiled her figure.

Fw 190A, face it, the best looking plane in history.

hehe funked...I see you have good taste...

Fw190 looks like a menacing bird. It looks awesome. Seems that the germans really knew to make their designs beautiful and menacing at the same time. Look at a fw190...look at a 109...they look like killing birds.

Same with ships...if you have ever seen at a pic of the Bismarck,

it was a beautiful ship with a powerful looking...the british OTOH always made graceful designs (look the spitfire, mean but shows no aggresiveness). If you see a picture of the Hood you'll understand what I mean.

A lot of grace and majesty...but Bismark looks...well like needing a kill while hood seems like a graceful cruiser.

Same with Tiger, Panther...

MiG-3.

British BC HMS Tiger (looks a fair bit like the Kongos). German BC SMS Seydlitz.

Lurk lurk. Slink.

Skulk.

Another good comparison...but I'd have taken SMS Derrflinger. quite a nice ship.

Again Derrflinger looked like a war god. Tiger looked like a graceful ship...

Damn I love Dreadnoughts

Naaa 109 has too many bulges and scabs. It's like they designed it and then remembered they had to fit some stuff inside.

What did the RAF do to you when they interrogated you funked? Next thing we know, you'll be sipping tea and wearing sweaters.

LOL Staga!

Hblair, I never liked the 109. Just not a very well integrated design. The split flap and radiator combo is very nice though.

Hmmm.... Not bad
