Is it possible that we might see this a/c? or is this just a pipe dream? Yes, know that no offcial records exist of encounters with allied a/c; but there were reports by allied pilots of sightings of this cool beat. pierre cloisterman (FRA) gave the best sighting report iirc.
-
Unfortunately, it is a pipe dream. Wasn't operational in squadron strength.
-
I would like to fly it :cry
-
YES WE CAN <cough> sorry. never mind.
Seriosly would be something to fly for a 100 or so perks.
INFIDelz
-
Yeah, why not.
And add the F7F, F8F, the D.H. 103 Hornet and some others.
Perk them very high (262 levels) so they are a seldom sight in the arena.
I'd like to spend my fighter perks on cool and unique rides, not on hotter versions of readily available planes. (262 and 163 being the exception)

lol, was about to say that. things engines over heat to fast though

I had never heard of this plane, so i looked it up. I doubt it would be included into Aces high anytime soon because of it's lack of operational history. Anyway here is a pic:

Hopefully, it will never be included in Aces High...
-
Amen.
Ugly heap of metal.

Please fill me in on why. I will admit total ignorance when it comes to this plane.

As Snailman said (paraphrased) there is a lack of documentation as to the Do-335 having reached squadron strength in WWII; only 11 of the single-seat fighter & 2 of the two-seat trainers are known to be completed & delivered before allied forces overran the factory. The main issue being a lack of German records, as many were destroyed since this was the penultimate German piston fighter design. There is a record that a Do-335 downed a P-47, Pierre Cloistemann's encounter, & when a flight of RAF tempests tried to pursue a prototype. That is about the extent of the AARs for the allies. Allegedly there are some records of VVS encounters but these are not authenticated.
And yes, this hunk of German Iron is totally double-bagger ugly (much like Denholm's revered He-111). ;)

Stop flying it with the throttles shoved to the fire-wall. Just a suggestion.
-
not that it matters but 2 trainers were delivered as well
this plane was designed in 1937 but production did not start until early 1944

TY vonKrimm,
Makes perfect sense. :aok
:salute

My info, Fastest prop plane ever...
By the rules, I seriously doubt it will ever show in game..
Love to try it out tho!!! Along with everyone else!!

There are several faster prop planes:
"officially" Fastest prop plane ever: Tu-114. Fastest prop plane with piston engines: "Rare Bear" F8F. Fastest prop plane in WWII: XP-47J.

But... :(

The definition of "In the war" should be changed... They where at-least encounterd in the air by Allied pilots a couple times.
Stupidly brilliant idea..., but I dont see it ever making it in unfortunatly.
Ill make you a bet,... the A-26 gets in the game before a Dornier-335 does.... :rock (takers?)

i just saw it on the military channel 2day it was the fastest propeller driven aircraft in history

No, it still wasn't and I don't even believe the MC did say exactly that ;)

Those shows are rife with bad data. Don't trust anything you get from them.
-
Well, it may well be that the 335 at certain altitudes was the fastest prop fighter. I have a book with a alt vs speed chart of a 335 nightfighter version.
According to that chart, this version does 380+ at SL, with the external antennas. It was caluclated that the next model, with antennas integrated into the wings and thus no extra drag penalty, would do over 400 at SL. I think this would also be representative for the dayfighter version.

Reading comprehension is your friend:There are several faster prop planes:
"officially" Fastest prop plane ever: Tu-114. Fastest prop plane with piston engines: "Rare Bear" F8F. Fastest prop plane in WWII: XP-47J.

Mine flies great!
