Now we're talking.

As far as my personal taste goes fighters should look brutish, not elegant and pretty, which makes the 190 the best looking fighter of the war for me. The P-47 takes second place for similar reasons and then i also like the sight of bombed-up Hurricane IICs, mosquitoes, luftwaffe nightfighters and so on.

No offense to the fans of Ponys and Spitfires, it's just that compared to the "uglier" and beefier planes they look a bit "girly" for lack of a better word: "Oooh, don't touch me, i'm single-engined, liquid cooled and break easily"
