Country:  | The 190 was one tough bird to shoot down, ask any allied fighter pilot that faced them. The cool thing about the raised tail wheel on that 190 would make visibility over the nose a heck of a lot easier when taxiing. Cool pic!

Country: | Yep, perhaps a couple of other 190's. Once the torp is dropped itd be fine though.

| Actually, I don't think fighters would be a problem, since little fighters had the same low-alt performance of the Anton...
I think I'd prefer flying the G.55S when it comes to torpedo-fighters, though!
The only downfall would be the inline engine, weak to flak and ground fire... | |

| The P-38.
Successful as a long-range fighter, ground attack aircraft, dive bomber, level bomber, interceptor, recon aircraft, fast ambulance. It was also successfully tested towing gliders, dropping torps (2), and adapted into a very successful night fighter. It could pretty much do it all.

Country: | No worse than a chopper. When you are wounded, you don't care how you get to the medical care you need. You just want to get there fast. After a syrette of Morphine, you don't care anyway.
