You really should invest some money on some good books and actually learn something about WW2 aviation and the He 177...

Country:  | Best Aircraft in Many Different Roles ?
the Jug should be a nice choice !
*dogfighter
*ground attack
*escort
*interceptor
not the most fast, not the most beautifull, but realiable and armoured like the goddamm hell ! its our baby... 
also Bf 109 should be a nice choice by the axis side, by its different versions and also his fexibility in battlefield.

| The P-47 was a pretty lousy dogfighter though..
__________________  We have built a total of about 1250 of this aircraft (Me-262), but only fifty were allowed to be used as fighters - as interceptors. And out of this fifty, there were never more than 25 operational. So we had only a very, very few.

Country: | but he was very armoured, it save the lifes of many dudes in the war. but also the plane has a combination of heavy guns, wich made him bad to digest by the luftwaffe predators i gess.

Country: | For allies I would go with either the P-38 or the Mossie and for the Axis I would go with the Ju 88 which in my opinion is one of the most versatile aircraft ever built.

Country:  | Fw-190:
Fighter, interceptor, ground attack, night fighter (limited) and pretty adaptable to these roles too. | |

Country: | The fw190 had speed, manuveribility, armore, armorment and was the germans best mass produced dogfighter acording to many. it was great against tanks and was used semi efectivly with the tame and wild bore night fighter sqoudrins.
The he177 grief was palugued with engine problems Hence the nikename "flying coffon". But late war variants were some of the best bombers the germans had. But they were only good at bombing, somtimes the were used as semi dive bombers. but to the point most of them were plagued with problems and those that were'nt were not much good for anything exept bombing. In the mini blitz the germans lunched late in war against london the he177 took the lowest losses of any german bomber. Alot of there missions were even flown at day!

Country: | The Ju 88 was a versitile aircraft: hevy fighter, night fighter, bomber, schnell bomber, dive bomber. Mean while the ju 87 was just a good ground attack aircraft and coudent do enything other than that. | |

Country: | What made the corsair so efective in the pacific was a hevy bomb and rocket load and lack of Jap tanks. With out enimy tanks the lack of cannons was only a miniscule draw back
