Erm, it is kinda funny that you denigrate his opinion and then blather yours like yours counts for more. I hate to break it to you, but the Spitfire is widely (not universally) seen as one of the best looking aircraft ever. You, not him, are in the minority.
I did not nor did I intend to denigrate anyone's opinion. If so, I apologize. I stated my opinion clearly as "my opinion" and pointed out that "
the spit is easily the best looking plane in the set" was only the other bloke's opinion. He worded it as if it were the gospel truth. He did not take offense, why did you? By your logic, you are denigrating my opinion.
Forgive me if I am in the minority of people that don't have a chubby for the Spitfire. The first time I saw it was in a Time-Life book in 7th grade and disliked it from the get-go. I have much respect for the plane itself but think its combat performance is a major reason for the idolization of the aesthetics of the design.
P40 would prob be the worst looking plane in Aces High
In my opinion, the bubble canopied P-47 is the coolest looking aircraft of WWII.
