P61, or what Weaz suggested, the Do335 push-pull plane (Can you guys model that with the twin props, one pushing one pulling?)

thats the TBD Devastor, hehe if ever a plane was named wrong.  Early war stuff is useless with UBERHIGH, maybe 3 guys would fly anything early war.  So you can elimate most of the fun planes    I think the mosquito would actually do quite well here, good speed with great firepower.  I like HT and Pyro modellling planes that havent been done before though.  

quick name all the Navy aircraft manufactures designators
D=Douglas.....  
fill in as we go gents

Pyro,

I'd say, make a list of the above.  Order by vote count. Then start building.  Hey, at least you'll have a steady job to see you up to and probably through retirement!!

BTW, my favorite has always been the P-40B&E.

Thanks for the many hours of wife-maddening fun!

buhdman, out

Count me in for the Okha too    Or is that Ohka?  Either way, I auger enough that flying it wouldn't hurt my RTB rate and smashing into stuff would actually damage/destroy the target.

Is the Mossie on the way already?  That, and a P-47 would be nice too.  Or the Komet.  Or something with missiles and afterburners and a nice radar.

Methinks some are in need of tabulators....Going by everyones first listed choice I come up with some different scores.
1. Me410                 8
2. Brewster Buffalo      7
3. IL-2                  6
4. 335                   4
5. P-61                  4
6. Bristol Beauftr       4
7. P-47                  4
8. D.H.103               3
9. F7F                   3
10.P-40                  3
11."flying boats"        3
   (lumped for weight)
12.Ta-152                2
13.J7W1                  2
14.PIIC                  2
15.PV-2                  2
16.P-63                  2
17.A-36                  2
18.A-20                  2
19.F8F                   2
20.I16                   2
21.Yokosuka MXY7 Baka    2
All the rest with one vote...
He163, 177, 219, ...234, 323, 229, 190-D9,
Me 232, Fiat CR42, B-29, B-19, A-26, MB-5, Mossie, Firefly, Swordfish, Hurricane, CA-2,....last but not least...C5A Galaxy...ROFL.
