My choice would be Junkers Ju-88, since it is truly a "multirole combat aircraft", flying for missions ranging from torpedo bombing to reconnaissance, night fighter to CAS and so on.

Second shot goes to Henschel Hs-129, the first true "tank buster".

Avete,

One more for the Stuka. That aircraft has class, no doubt about it.

Valete,

My favorite is the Fokker Dr.I Triplane that the Red Baron himself made fameous. While he spent most of his time in the Albatross D.V.II and D.V. II, the time spent then wasn't as historically meaningful. Plus, he didn't win the Iron cross in a clumsy old Albatross D.V. , now did he?

The A series of Focke-wulf FW190's (although the F and G series are loveable too).

My favourite is the Messerschmitt Bf110G-4,not the best of the Nachtjaeger,but still managed a high level of kills. :D

My favourite plane would be the ME109, on consideration that is was piloted by good pilots like Erich Hartmann or Hans Joachim Marseille. just my 2 cents.... :D

My number one choice would have to be the Ju-87 Stuka, but the tank buster varient with 37mm cannon. As for secondary, consider FW 190 D-9. Plane had no equal in the air. She was a tough fighter and ground support.

If you want to see what a group of pissed off Texans can acomplish, look no further than the Alamo and to San Jacinto.

UHU

Post by Beershark »

What ! No votes for the "UHU" !!!!! Not only does it look a classy plane, but it was one of the few to put the Fear of God up Mosquito night fighter crews ! For a while I worked as business manager to Group Captain John "Catseyes" Cunningham, who was a brilliant Mosquito night fighter pilot ( he even racked up a few FW-190's in his kills ). He told me that the only time he ever started to really worry about going into combat was when he started reading combat reports and analyses of Mossie v UHU intercepts.
