As far as names go, I always kinda liked the Grumman Cats. Hellcat, Wildcat, Bearcat etc. My favorite is the fussin' and fightin' Tomcat, ready to take on a dozen of the enemy and probably get scratched up in the process LoL. Wait, I think my name is also a cat.

You guys are a trip! But you're all wrong. Yak? Awful!!!!! The cats are pretty good. Butcher Birds is great if it was a real name. But the best is:

Kingcobra! Damn good airplane. Too bad it's not in the game!

Yeah, it's a good plane to get chewed up by my A6M2-21 Zero! lol. Maybe even my "Oscar"? Either way, I wouldn't be caught dead in one of those death traps. Which they were since they had doors!! rather a proper canopy. :cool: Nice looking plane though.

A-20 Havoc.

Cry Havoc! And let slip the dogs of war.

Agreed. I'm a fan of all the 'cats, but they saved the best for last.

Anytime, Baby! :cool:

This is your door speaking, if you can get me open, say hi to the tail fin for me.

Actually, I could be wrong, but I believe their biggest problem was the lack of a supercharger. I think the performance would have been much better with one. The engine was the biggest problem.

The armament was definatly not too shabby, definatly better than any Yak :-P

Exactly. ;)

Better armament, doesn't mean a better plane. The Yak-3 was much lighter due to just have twin MGs and a single cannon. While the P-63 Kingcobra, had four MGs and a nose cannon which weighed it down significantly. :D My Yak-3 could take care of the Kingcobra anyday. :cool: :P

F-104 Starfighter.

Sure, it's after WW2, but I still think it's pretty cool name for a plane. I guess it can be a bit cheesy though... ;)

I still love those early jets.

wow, some pretty good choices in here guys, i liking it :D
