Top 10 worst WW2 aircraft
« on: October 01, 2014, 09:49:54 AM »
An opinion article from 2011 listing the top 10 worst aircraft of WW2. I found it interesting enough and figured I would post a link here for others to enjoy

The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

Not a bad list. Of course they were smart enough not to include the Brewster. I'll bet the guy that wrote the article is an AH subscriber. :)

Hmm, I also wonder about that whole thing re: 163s exploding all the time. Would love to see some actual WrkNrs of which ones exploded, representing X% of the total number built...

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Surprised only one Japanese plane made the list.  G4M ought to be a serious candidate.  Mitsubishi even told the IJN they needed four engines to meet the range requirements and make it an effective warplane.

Imagine the armor/self sealing tanks and armament Mitsubishi could have afforded to put on the G4M if it had four 1500hp engines rather than two.
