More tour 10 stat trivia. How about fighters vs bombers and ground v.

• The F4u-1C had a k/d vs bombers of 3.79:1 with the Typhoon following closely behind with a 3.78:1 ratio.  The quad hispanos definately ruled supreme... or did they?  What fighter had a better k/d ratio against bombers than either of these two planes?
• What fighter was the only craft not to have greater than a 1:1 k/d vs bombers?
• This plane (fighter or bomber) will go down in scoring history by being the first to accomplish a goal many didn't think was possible.  What is the goal and what is the plane that lived down to it?
• This fighter known for its ground support in WW2 had the second worst k/d ratio vs ground vehicles amongst fighters.  Of course, the c.202's bb guns were impotent against the gv armor scoring only 1 kill.

answers (just off the top of my head):
1. N1k2, or maybe jug
2. C202
3. C47 actually getting kills?
4. Has to be the jug.

I was kinda hoping for a few more educated guesses on these.  Also hoping to break a few stereotypes.

ANSWERS:[list=1]

• The 8 .50's of the P-47-D25 proved a lethal dose of pilot and lead scoring a 3.86:1 k/d ratio vs bombers to lead all planes.
• The Bf 109F-4 didn't master bombers as well as it did F4u-1Ds.  The Bf 109F-4 had a .92:1 k/d ratio vs bombers.  The C.202 was next lowest of the fighters with a 1.13:1 k/d ratio.
• The Ju-88 managed to kill a C47 8 times in tour 10.  The C47 returned the favor 9 times.  Who says the Ju-88's guns aren't undermodeled?
• The pilots of the F4u-1D obviously could use some training in utilizing the excellent a2g capabilities of the craft.  Those 6 .50's won't do much against a panzer's armor, but the rocket and bomb load should more than compensate.  The F4u-1D managed a .23:1 k/d ratio against ground vehicles.  The best it could do against any one ground vehicle was .6:1 against the M3.  Keep in mind that neither the panzer nor M3 can shoot straight up.
