Best possible fighter

[the lancaster kicks ass]

ok so you can make you dream WWII single engined fighter by taking different aspects of different planes, the only rules are as we're talking about single engined fighters all aspects must be taken from singled fighters and no more than two aspects from each plane, i realise that's a bit confusing so observe:-

manouverability- A6M5 Zero
Range- A6M5 zero
Durability- P-47D thunderbolt
Ease of repair and manufacture- Hawker Hurricane
Speed- Do-335 Pfiel
armourment- Fw-190
payload- stuka
ceiling- Ta-152H



that's all i can think of at the moment, you see what i mean now.......

Why cant we have 2 engines...

[the lancaster kicks ass]

because you'd take all the charistics from the P-38.....................

[cheddar cheese]

So?

[the lancaster kicks ass]

kinda takes the fun out of it, and the P-38 doesn't have all the best charactoristics for twin engined planes....................

[cheddar cheese]

It has the characteristics I want though...

And you know it would be impossible to have that plane, sertaings contradict each other.

And we're off to a roaring start!

[cheddar cheese]

Yup Due to the 'enginist' nature of 2 engines being banned I refuse to take part

Why not just quote the specs of the Martin-Baker MB-5?

[cheddar cheese]

What was the Martin-Baker MB-5?

[R Pope]

My hero, test pilot Jan Zurakowski, said it was a cross between a P-51 and a V-2! Looks like a big Mustang with a Griffon engine.Damn! Wish I had a scanner!

Fusalage of a 110 ,
only 1 engine , (in the nose of course)
no rear gunner ,
109 K-6 engine ,
2 20mm in the wingroots ,
2 7.9mm in the nose ,
tail like the 109 ,
SC500 payload (fighter bomber aspect) ,
armament like a 190 ,
Range like a zero ,
shorter wings than 110 (curved at the ends too )

thats my dream fighter ,
Ill call it the Bf-112 :P

As far as the armament is concerned, this spells out the ideal: http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/ideal.htm

Cheddar cheese, if you want a twin, how about a Whirlwind with Merlins? Or Griffons? Fix up the wierd fuel delivery system and you've got a worldbeater!
