il-2

the LONGNOSE Focke-wolfe " Butcher bird" was superior in every fight

only a few saw combat at the end of the war.. but noo one could defeat a good pilot in one of those

The Ar 234 reminds me of the Douglas A-3 Skywarrior

very similar yes. i flew in a skywarrior many decades ago.. they were carrier based

big plane

goodole JATO

Here's my vote for the WORST, the Czech entry

the RUSSIAN Stormavik was a key plane in the Soviet arsenal

great aircraft

Maybe this for the Royal Siamese Air Force

Tank killer

Bet you never seen a S-3 Viking with a gun pod... ^^;

gun pod? nope

20mms? yes

Here's the greast ww2 fighter aircraft

ME 262

Technically more of an interceptor

^o^

for a jet yes.. for a PROP plane its the Focke wolfe LONGNOSE

4 ... 30MM cannon for downing bombers

and 600 mph

100 to 120 mph faster than anything we had

there are a few pilots who actually shot down ME262s

most were shot down on landing the jets.. they were slow and sluggish at low speeds

Lots of planes today

The 262's were expensive and end-game, they didn't have the numbers

The Brits had the meatbox but they only used it for home defense

Too risky to fly over enemy territory with

Rattled like fuck at high speed

They did a few missions Right at the very end of the war with them

They briefly rebased in Holland 2 weeks before Germany surrendered

Here's a brit Jet April 1945

sheeple.. those were used primarily for downing the V1 Buzzbombs because they were fast enuf

Yes

But too slow to intercept a V2

Oo yeah almost 6000 mph for V2
