Just curious (and haven't read the whole thread so sorry if i missed it) Was this judgement based on AC performance figures (doubt it - no varients), impact on war (no hurricane !!) or just the ones people like?

I want that gun!

Overmodelled uber-ranchers. Good thing we don't have people shooting back at us if we accidently kill a sheep. Very funny.

Glad you guys enjoyed that. My friend mlnko- sent that one to me a few days ago.

jmccaul,

The article was not really based off of figures, speed, turnrate, or anything like that. Some, but VERY VERY minute of it was.

THe article mainly listed them by the historical value, the time they came into the war, how the plane was used, mass numbers.. etc.

If you all would like, you guys pick one of the plane listed and I will type up the article for that plane and POST it on this thread..

Let me know

Gorf

Sounds to me like we got a 16 year old with hurt feelings...

Thats' why it should be called "10 most INFLUENCIAL fighters of WWII"

Cause top fighter on that list should be Me262

Closely followed by Ta 152 P51H and P47M spit 14... so on...

Relax. It's ok

fd;

Are you going to WIMP OUT, after you nick pick and flame the guy for no reason?

Post up your top ten. I'm fueling up my flame thrower right now.

Please throw your reasons for each choice of plane in, so I have more targets to shoot at.

Who said i was flaming him ?
Read my first post again. It has nothing to say about anyone - only about the product of the magazine - which is silly...

It's not my fault that Gorf feels that world circles around him

fd;

LOL! OK sorry. <S>

I just re-read also. Pretty much seemed a flame to me at the time, as it does right now. Although you now plead incoherent innocence, your words testify diabolical insinuation.

IMO, Gorf might have overeacted a tad. But Hey! I realize someome must always post down, no matter what the subject matter is. This is a requirement for being a "Flight Sim Enthusiast"? I forgot that rule momentarily, so sorry!

BTW; does this mean you are still WIMPING OUT? Is flaming a WIMP legal, under "The Rules"?

Minatour,
Got a couple Napalm to give ya while your at it. hehehe

As for FD,
A: I am not a upset 16 year old. I am a rational person. As for my AGE..will I was born 1 yr 5 months before the BOMBING of PEARL HARBOR. Let you figure out my age from there.

B: If you follow the thinking of the article and change it to your line of thinking of narrowing down to the excat MOdEl.. the TA 152..would not MAKE the list not in the war long enough to make any historical differance.. and either would the P51H(correct me if I am wrong but I don't think it actually saw ANY action in WWII, BUT I could be wrong. don't have my books with me.)

C:And as for your one statment "It's not my fault that Gorf feels that world circles around him ".. WHAT do mean the WORLD.. HELL the hole UNIVERSE circles around me..moahahhahahaha

D: Actually I am 29.. just wanted to get your reaction..hehehe

NIGHT

I think Fd ski was making the point that if you were talking about the best planes performance wise in the war you would have to put he Me 262 first then followe it with all the late war uberplanes which saw little service.

Why's the hurricane not in the list !!!! I demand it's inclusion as without it's versitility and ease of manufacture it would not have been able to shoulder the main load of the BoB which then could have been quite concievably lost and with the germans having air supiriority it is quite possible that the P51 (top of that list would not have been able to do what it did.)
