Country:  | all he's saying is that you need tanks (i.e. a larnd force) to truely occupy a country, which has little to do with this

But you got to admit, that the hurricane did the job that it was intended to do during the BoB. The spits would stay high up, engage the fighters, while the hurricanes would maul the bombers. On occasion the roles would get reversed and then the hurricane would probably have a hard time though it could probably hold it's own. | |

Spits were higher performance machines, better suited to tackling fighters. 'canes were more stable gun platforms, nice for taking out bombers.

Hi All
I think this is a debatable question. The ME262 in it's rare pure interceptor role, four Rhinemetal 30mm cannon, and some later ones with rocket pods would take an awful lot of beating.
But was it really the best in a wider look at the topic?
It needed a very good pilot. It soaked up resources I feel could have been better applied on something else?
I gather the FockeWulf 190 had a specialist varient notorious enough to become known as the Formation Buster? | |

what i see here is absence of humour together with foolish rage and noob abmitions of "comparing ass vs dick"/russian proverb/
i'd better stay in more specialised forums, such as "Other Mechanical Systems Tech." and so on where all words said are backed up with amount of expertise. | |

| "...In the distance the Hurricane tank-busters were attacking Panzers from only 50 feet off the deck with their 40 mm cannons. In defence the Panzer IVs were using their 88 mm guns as Flak cannons and had taken down three Hurricanes. Yet another Squadron of Kittyhawks began their dive onto targets in the area. 260 Squadron used up the last of their bullets and left the battle raging behind them. " | |
