    Best possible fighter

    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.......

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

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

    It has the characteristics I want though...

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

    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?

    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!

    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!
