Thanks to hubsonfire, SkyWolf, StarOfAfrica2, 6GunUSMC & Zazen13 for their input and ideas.

More about these 6 planes can be found here: Worst KD Fighters

Prize:

Contest winner gets to select a plane type and theme for a stupid eskimo style skin.
Want a Strawberry Shortcake P-38? How about a Partridge Family B-24? Does a Pope Benedict XVI Flakpanzer/Popemobile sound cool? If you win, it will be up to you. All that I can promise is that I will do a really bad job and try to make it look as stupid as possible.

Whoever wins needs top pick the Pope mobile skin for the panzie. Would be funny seeing a bunch of Pope mobiles running around with the Pope belching out 37mm rounds. Talk about fire and brimstone

You know that the new pope was a flak gunner during WWII, right?

I was going to participate, but then you added the A6m2 and the 109e4. Please get rid of these dweeb planes and then I'm in.

eskimo

yeah, when he was in the Hitler's Youth. Which makes the Pope skin for the flak panzie that much funnier.

Pope? What? Someone call me?

If we get film of people running away from our "worthless" planes, do we get bonus points?

The pope was a flak gunner for real?

In a fixed flack battery, yes. Not in a Flakpanzer. To his credit, I think I read that he defected/went AWOL.

88mm Flak gunner/loader. Joined the Hitler Youth I think in '43 and went AWOL and surrendered to US forces in '45.

Wonder why he went AWOL

How about a contest for those that hunt the guys down in the worthless plane contest?

Probably realized the war wasn't going so well for his side...

What the heck did you guys in the last contest do?? I've taken the P-40b up a couple of times, and opponents keep diving to hide in the ack! The ones that DO come out and fight only seem to try for HO shots. I think some of you must have put the fear of the P-40 into some of these folks lol.

So far the Spit I seems to be the only plane of the set I can be particularly successful in. Mostly it seems to be luck though. I just seem to run into better situations in the Spit. The others I have had numerous kill opportunities, but dont have time to score kills in a furball. Especially the 202, I ripped a 205 over and over again at convergence range and got no noticeable damage on him. Of course he ran to hide in the ack, and I took enough damage from the ack that he was able to get on my 6 and take my wing off with his cannon. You definitely want an exit strategy in mind if you go furballin with these things lol. So far this is a fun contest. Of course it helps having such a nicely situated furball area on the center island.

Spit I - K/D = 9/3
Hurri I - K/D = 1/3
P-40b - K/D = 1/2
A6M2 - K/D = 0/1
Bf 109E-4 - K/D = 2/4
C202 - K/D = 0/2
