Country:  | CC, you change ur mind so damn often it aint even funny.... U said in earlier posts atleast 3 times that the Hurricane was ur pick.. Now its the -38....
Evan, you had stated in a previous post that the -152 was ur pick, but I can see why u changed to the Hellcat, as it is one of my favorites... But for the Hellcat in aerial combat, it was the group tactics, such as the Thatch Weave, that made the Hellcat so formidable... Plus the opposition that the Hellcat faced in the air, pilotwise, was greatly diminished...
For me the Ta-152 was and is the plane to beat... As my combined survey results show....
10 votes Ta-152H... (lesofprimus, erich, kiwimac, aussiejim, patc007, jamcam, sodenstrike, planeguy, polish, gregp)
6 votes P-51D Mustang (Pland, GrG, birdman, ahanswurst, sanantoniobob, guest)
3 votes Spit MkXIV... (johnnie, gemhorse, hotspace)
3 votes F4U-4 Corsair... (archer, corpasselberry, thorlittle)
2 votes Mossie... (lanc, bronzewhaler)
2 votes P-38L... (LG, CC)
1 vote Spit MkIX... (maestro)
Until Lanc explains his change in heart, his vote stands on the Mossie....

The P-38 was a great recce plane too
| but not as good as the mossie, and before you say the P-38 was better, the americans bought mossies for the role, so they obviously thought the mossie was better for recon than the P-38....................

Country: | I don't recall voting for the -152, but if you said I did, I might have. But I am sticking with the Hellcat because of it's ruggedness and ease of maintenance. I won't change now, I promise.

Country: | Add my vote to the Hellcat tally(Erich is listed for both the TA and the hellcat, by the way). It is an interesting roundup of planes. I would have thought the spit would have been ahead of the mustang in the voting.
