One of the ugliest planes ever built.  I would be glad to shoot them down. 

Aircraft ID 101:

If it is ugly, it's British.
If it is weird it's French.
If it is ugly AND weird, it's Russian.

Mosquito? Concorde? TSR2?...

-1 on the wish, you're not considering the poor Ki-43 pilots who were former Brewster pilots will have to change planes again.

I'm crazy but not that crazy.....well maybe not all the time.

Ugly.

Ugly.

Okay.
Ugly and Weird.


Not all Brit planes are ugly, but if it is ugly you can bet it is British.  Same in regard to the other categories.

The Brewster.

  By far the UGLIEST plane in AH, plus it's overmodled for representing the large majority of brewsters, only 44 b239 models made. The brew should be replaced with the F2A IMO, but that's for another thread...

Only because there isn't a Lysander.

Heck yeah they are.   Far better looking than any Brit equivalent.   Unless you count the Vulcan.  Ugly cockpit but the wing is nice.

:rolleyes:

I agree that the F2A-3 should be added so that the B-239 can cease being used in Pacific/CBI settings, but there is no reason at all to deny Continuation War settings the B-239.

 There where very few made and their kills where on inexpericed Russian pilots.

That has no bearing on its appropriateness at all.  Literally none.
