Country:  | X-Planes
During World War 2 there were a lot of planes that were designed and maybe even test flown but never saw service. (Most of these were German.)
Please post here your thoughts on which planes could have caused an impact, and why they would have caused an impact.
Discuss.

Country: | Stop spoiling it, Im aiming to create a topic that creates discussion.
I understand they didnt have many resources, but all im asking is what everyones opinion is on what planes would have been successful.
The Heinkel He-178 looked pretty promising if you ask me

| The Fw-187 and He-280 would have done well, they were available in 1940 and 1942, enough time to help get lasting fuel... | |
