X-Planes

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it's unlikely they'd launch all the parasite fighters in one go, an we'll assume the design wouldn't fly opperationally 'til a little before 1950 shall we?? by this time the meteor would be at its' best and we could have even had the EE Lightening in service by then, no ammount of parasite fighters can save any ammount of bombers from EE Lightenings............

We werent the only ones developing planes you know. The 262 would have got better. The Ta-152 would have got better. The Bf-109 would have got better. Hell even the Me-263 could have been a good plane.

Anyway it was designed to bomb America, not Britain, so the Meteor and the Lightning would be useless against it. Anyway it would have taken nearly 5 years for it to become operational, 2 years max.

they'd be useless flying over britian, none of those aircraft had a hope in hell of escorting the bombers over the atlantic...............

if the worst came to the worst we were going to continue our war from Canada, i'm sure the Americans wouldn't say no to a little help from us, especially if we had EE Lightenings.................

But you said they had crap range...

And it would need escorting across the atlantic, whats the possibility enemy fighters are gonna be patrolling out there...

And why would they be useless over Britain, theyd mince our planes...

And then theres the possibility of the Ho-229.

i get the feeling you haven't quite grasped that the bombers in question were designed to be flown from a captured britian or france to bomb america??

And it would need escorting across the atlantic, whats the possibility enemy fighters are gonna be patrolling out there...

the escort fighters would have to escort it across the atlantic for when the bombers get to america.....................

And why would they be useless over Britain, theyd mince our planes...

the very fact that they're over britian makes them useless, as we'd be defending Canada/America, The 262, Ta-152, Bf-109 and the Me-263 (the four planes to which one of your posts refers) wouldn't have a chance of escorting a plane from Europe over the atlantic to America/Canada..............

But you said they had crap range...

they did have (we're fering to the EE Lightening and Meteor for those of you who are slightly lost) but they'd be operating in the intorceptor role, range doesn't matter as much in that role..................

Actually Germans achieved to have bombers 15 km outside of New York unseen and ready to strike but Hitler cancelled the whole operation. I can't find the source I read this for more detail.

It probably says somewhere on www.luft46.com

[the lancaster kicks ass]

[cheddar cheese]

No, im having my opinion and it differs from your opinion...

[the lancaster kicks ass]

Your siggy breaks the margins, shrink it a bit...
