You know since Hussars is going to go ahead and make Spitfire torpedo bombers I think I will make the Fiesler Storch my torpedo bomber.

It was just a creative Idea,I know it had never been done, I was just looking at the wing design of the plane and thought that it could do the job quite nicely considering the need for steady flight.

Yes but that is getting away from what this thread was made for. If you want to discuss stuff like that, that is fine, make a thread for it.

The Spitfire is too light a frame to carry a torpedo.

And I'll keep my original list;

Interceptor: Spitfire
Fighter/Ground Attack: Hawk-75
Maritime Patrol: PBY

Torp Bomber: SM.79
Transport: SM.81
Bomber: P.108
Ground Attack: Ba-65
Recon: Ca-311
Maritime: Z.501

Ok so what if its basically the RA

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 12-05-2005, 01:43 PM

I go with this, not sure if it is the same or not from my last list:

Fighter - Bf-109E
Intercepter - Hurricane
Ground Attack - Ju-87
Transport - C-47
Bomber - Ju-88

Gnomey · 12-05-2005, 01:50 PM

Mine would be:

Fighter: Spitfire
Interceptor: BF-109E
Ground Attack: JU-87
Bomber: JU-88/Wellington
Transport: C-47

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 12-05-2005, 02:36 PM

Interesting list. Ours are almost the same. I almost went with the same list as yours but figured that I would shake it up.

carpenoctem1689 · 12-05-2005, 11:31 PM

Fighter: Fiat Cr.42
Interceptor: Spitfire
Fighter bomber: Me-110
Attack: Ki-27 (could carry a small bombload, had two machine guns, was lightweight and had good range).
Bomber: G3M
Torpedoe bomber/coastal patrol: SM.79
Transport: C-47 (even though the Ju52/3m is cooler)

I know i recently did a list, but this one is revised and im trying to mix it up a little bit.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 12-06-2005, 04:05 PM

Interesting list, especially the Bf-110 part.

cheddar cheese · 12-06-2005, 04:19 PM

Yep. Im liking the CR.42 and SM.79

MacArther · 12-06-2005, 04:28 PM

Fighter: Polikarpov I-16 Type 24
More on the way

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 12-06-2005, 05:15 PM

Okay very interesting, especially since it was an aircraft that was outclassed in 1939 and slaughtered by the Luftwaffe. The ones Type 5/6 used by the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War were completly outclassed the Bf-109B, C, D, and E's used by the Condor Legion there.

In fact I might be wrong the Type 24 were not introduced until 1940.
