Country: | Parasites would deal with the fighters. And you never know, it could be pretty normal in speed and ceiling.

Country: | Yup. But I dont think it'd be any worse than most bombers, all things considered.

Country: | looks like it carries 6 fighters, a squadron could take out the fighters and proberly the bomber, parasite fighters have useless range, they'd have to dock with the bomber again or they're lost.............

Kamikaze attacks by 6 human guided missiles is guarantee that a carrier will visit the sea layer... | |

Country:  | But alot of Kamikaze pilots didn't make it to their intended targets, either hit by the gunners or other circumstances. The ones that hit did inflict some serious damage and death, but the kamikaze record is not as good as it would seem.

| Well they did not have many succeses but they were the one to use them! But Germans could use V1 or V2 missiles instead and that might do a lot of damage. So the escort would be usefull in that case.
(Ok they can still intercept the missiles but they would have to deal with the fighter and bombers as well) | |

Country: | I dont really think so. And anyway, I doubt the plane would fly there by itself, there could be a whole group of them. if there was 6 or 7 that would be 42 parasites... a group of 78 or 8 Stangs would have a pretty tough job...
