Which country produces the most glass hearted fighters?

t whatever, i've been drinking. t38?

 

not having a heavy bomber also cost them. the spitfire, and hurricane were great fighters. the decision to stop strategic bombing, and start terror bombing, also cost them.

 

independent suspension. high speed. short turret. sloped armor.

 

any comment on my assesment of the battle of france?

 

the science and industry museum in chicago, has a stuka and spitfire hanging from the ceiling. also has a captured german sub. btw, has the stuka diving, the spitfire on its tail.

 

heinkel-177? not many then i imagine.

 

i'm liking it too. you learn what you are taught. unless you look deeper.

 

must be noon almost there?

 

23 hours different from here. i'm 3rd shift, up all night.

 

in my opinion, japan waited to attack in se asia, until france, and the netherlands fell, and the brits were in huge trouble. kinda gutless.

 

p-38 lightning was a nice plane, as was your mosquito.

 

Yeah the 34. Great tank, robust, simple design. The Tiger and Panther were far superior qualitatively but way more expensive to produce and much harder to maintain especially in the field and the Panther in particular really prone to mechanical failures.

Soviets just kept churning the T-34s out making incremental improvements and building them cheaper and faster as the war progressed (similar to how the Spitfire and 109 were continually refined and up-engined) Truly one of the decisive weapons of the war.

Nice discussion BTW - keep it up chaps..

 

the sherman was cheap, easy to maintain. it was referred to as whatever cigarette lighter was popular at the time though.

 

The Mossie was a beauty - wooden build to save on metals and harness the skills of underutilised woodworkers and carpenters to war production - thats strategic thinking dammit! Not only that but in many respects it outperformed it's stretched skin contemporaies.

 

i believe the germans tried to copy it.
