| Yeap Lanc is right and if you put it that way my favorite fighter/interceptor is the Bf-109G-6. You asked for your favorite fighter not what the best was. The Bf-109G-6 has always been my favorite fighter.

| Going against the rub of things I would go for the Fiat G55. Good speed not the fastest I will admit, but it accelerated quickly a factor often missed. As with most Italian planes it was very agile and I would be happy to take on any of the P51, P38, FW190, F4U and Spitfire mentioned above in a fight. For the bombers it was well armed carrying lots of ammunition. That would do me. |

| Wow, i completly overlooked the G.55. It was an excellent aircraft, with three 20mm cannon, and two machine guns, it had one hell of a punch. With a speed of 385 MPH at over 23,000ft, it was more than fast enough to catch the bombers being used, and hold its own against american and british fighters, being not much slower, having good dive and climb, ammunition stowage, and manouverability at all altitudes above 15,000ft especially. |

| It surprises me not one person voted for the N1K2-J shiden kai. It was a great aircraft, but being from the PTO, and japanese, i shouldnt be surprised it received no votes. It was manouverable, had a good top speed at altitude, and a good armament, even stronger than that of the G.55. Because of some teething troubles, and bombings of factories where it was produced, it wasnt produced in good enough numbers to have any real effect, but gave a good account of itself. |

| It has nothing to do with the fact that it was Japanese. I am sorry but the N1K2 was not better than the Fw-190D. And besides you not ask people what there favorite fighter is and only give them 2 choices. There are plenty that like the Spit, P-51, or Bf-109 better than both of those. Are you trying to prove something here?

| And it was around in mid-43...if you compare it to what else was around at the time you realise it was a fairly remarkable aircraft... |

If I wanted an interceptor, I would go for either the Bf-109K4, Spitfire XIV, Yak 9U or F4U-4. All these planes climb like a lift to 20,000 feet. An interceptor is no use to anyone if its still climbing to get into position when the bombers are already over the target. Over about 30,000 the Spitfire would be the favourite, if only because the Griffon 65 doesn't hit critical altitude in 2nd stage until somewhere around 26,500 feet. | |

| For Intercepter I would go with either the Ta-152H, Fw-190D or the Spit XIV.
