Country:  | It's the Ju 87E, it didn't ever fly from a carrier but because of that ...you can't say it was bad at it.

Country: | I was always under the impression that the secret Pz.Kpfw VII 'Maus' was landed on Iceland and blasted the Hood from the shore. 
I voted the same, for the exact same reasons. Because I'm your stalker...
