Country:  | Yep, due to the amazing speed and agility of the Battle I could out climb, dive, turn and roll the Fw-190, take him out with a couple of shots from my starboard .303, then attack the bombers. If I missed them and overshot by some strange reason then my rear gunner would take them out with his .303...yes the Battle was an amazing plane

| What kinda radar suite did the Lincoln have? All Ive seen mentioned was the H2S but was wondering if theyre was more.
Id still take a B-29 for night bombing over the Lancaster or Lincoln if all 3 were available.

| Thanks mosquitoman, it's a real shame that there's no Hornets left today, and they would've been awesome had they got them into WWII before it was over....
We have a chap that's making new Mosquitos down here in NZ, I don't know if you've heard about it....There is an update on it at www.mossie.org , the main Mosquito website....
My choice of aircraft is based on my obsession with the Mosquito & Hornet, [as all these guys know about !!!], and then my patriotic choices, but there's others like the Lancaster etc. that I'd love to add too..... | |
