you keep saying this in your posts, how is it under modeled?


My guess is that there aren't enough moddles, ie P-51D, P-51B, P-51E...maby E, not sure.


I still support the P-47N though.

This F4U-4 you speak of wouldnt be a code name for a Colby rednose would it? If thats the case then I may well be the best fighter,on the other hand if a Bully Kutta shows up you now have the best hi alt /hi tempurature fighter found on the planet! Fights lasting over an hour at temps exceeding 40C.


 Ooops wrong forum I thought this was about dogfighting.... :o

W7, I hate it when someone shoots a spread of rockets out of his P-51B; those clusters make a nice shot gun like effect if you can set it up right.

Not sure, but maybe I consider it a tie between the P-47N and the C. 205.

I have been persuaded by an anonymous group to correct my vote. Its the P38. As it should have been from the start.

Since you followed through your part of our 'agreement', the Consortium of 12 has ordered the release of your ewe unharmed.  We will contact you later with the details on where you can pick up your ewe.  If your ewe walks funny, that's probably because we didn't realize JOC wasn't a member of SAPP at the time we let him watch her.

Duh guppy, like morphine addict over there said "E" stands for everyone. But seriously, I just said E for lack of a better letter. If I knew some better variants then I would have listed them.

no, no, that's dogfight. I'm talking about a fighter. For example you might want something that carries a large amount of ord. and still be able to fight after it drops them. 

That would more properly be referred to as being a Jabo Fighter, an Attack Fighter, or a Fighter-Bomber.   Just saying "best fighter" is meaningless on your part.

Typhoon, Tempest, P-51D Mustang, and P-38L Lightning would all be good choices.

well if you almost never carry bombs you dont need a fighter that can carry them or all you might want is one 500lb or something like that. Say you like spit8, well it's definitely not a jabo fighter but it can carry a bomb.


Also that response was to moot giving a link to a BEST pure DOGFIGHTER in WWII thread, what if you just like to BnZ?
