| Hi, My first post  Interesting thread and considering the diversity of war and the machines designed to excel at certain aspects, there is no simple answer. However, if I was put on the spot to select, what in my opinion, was the best aircraft of WW2, I'd say would be the ubiquitous JU-88. It was used as a bomber, night fighter, dive bomber, reconaissance, and a host of other missions. It was used throughout the entire war. It was one of the most versatile aircraft of its time. The C47 is a close second, and while the need to supply the troops and war effort is supreme, it was the land supplies and ships that did the bulk of the support. Tanks, howitzers, munitions, food was mostly fed via ships to docks and then via land to the troops. seeyuzz river |

  | Seriously? I'm not a hardcore P-51 fan myself, but I have to recognize it's capabilities and achievements.

| Its an IL2 thing, its the one of the worst planes in IL2. Its so overated too. The P-51 was not the best, it was inferior to the Ki-84 and many, many, many other planes. Last edited by Gnomey; 07-18-2009 at 08:08 AM. |

| Ummm....You do realize that Il-2 is only a GAME, right? The P-51 could put up a good fight against ANY prop fighter. And fly further than almost any other type. :Hi-performance :Excellent handling :Excellent visibility : Decent firepower :Exceptional range :Reliable :Inexpensive What more do ya want? JL |

| Hi, Crikey mate, are you basing your perception of the P51 on how it is portrayed in the IL-2 Game? river |
