Feel free to add to it or dispute it.
Most Ridiculous Wingspan- Ta152H-1 (the wings are so narrow yet so long so it looks stupid)
Strangest Landing Gear- Me163 (a landing skid!!!)
Best Bomber Destroyer- P51D-5 (10 rockets means its a killer)
Worst Looper- He162 or Me262 (top a loop at roughly 5000ft higher than where you started)
Worst Armanent- Po-2 (by the time this can do anything you've been rammed)
Lowest Flying Speed- Po-2 (can cruise at 200 but fly at 150)
Worst Bomber- Po-2 (ok, another "award", this plane is pointless)
Top Flying Speed- Me262 (aaargh!)
Best Armanent- B-17G (13 machine guns and up to 8000lb of ordinance)
Best Turner- I-153 (not debatable)
Best plane for landing in the water then taking off and continuing to fly- Me262 (just don't ask)
Best plane for flying under the bridges in Berlin- I-16 (those things are tight)
Best All-Round- Spitfire XVI (fast, maneoverable, can have 2x250lb bombs for ground attack)

He162 has the smallest wingspan and can even be flown
through the suspenison bridges (along the rail track)

Uh no. Rockets are far too slow and inacurate for a proper skilled bomber attack. To use rockets on a bomber you need to be in their killing zone, not good tactics. Me262 is the king of bomber destruction. (not debatable

)
