Banning Planes

Yes, I was reading about that. I found it quite funny how it was a huge moral loss for the germans that they were being shot down and killed by woman.

I know how good the hurri really is and as the war goes one what duties it can do better than the other. I also know how good the ruski crates are, i just like to have some banter with soviet ace about them. Im a huge fan of the hurrie, i will defend it where and when i can. But in a dogfight... 9/10 i will take a spitfire. Because i know as much as i like my hurricane, it just lacks in some areas.

The russian planes are good at what they are meant to do...... be fast and agile, or slow and heavy (Yak/IL2)


on topic...soviet, yes i know exacly what you mean

Exactly my point. Enjoying one or several planes of one side does not make you bias. I enjoy Soviet Planes more than British or American planes, but I still enjoy learning and reading about all nations planes. I just prefer the Soviet planes over the others.

And yes, many of the women became aces within a day! But sadly one of the best women pilots to grace the Easter skies was killed

Yes the W.A.S.P, Valentina Grizodubova, Lily Litvyak, Marina Raskova all where great pilots. The germans pilots i think called them something else, Anybody Know?

I dunno if the German pilots had a nickname for the women, but Lily Litvyak, was called the "White Rose of Stalingrad". I'm not actually sure how that came around, but I think it was because her plane usually had a white rose painted on either the nose cowling, or some where else?

They called some of them "Night Witches" I believe? Because they did a lot of bombing raids during the night presumably.

Oh he's right. They called the 558th Night Bomber Regiment which would later become known as the 46th Guards Night Bomber Regiment. It was an all women's regiment.

Good going Matt. I even had to look it up in my book on Soviet Aces, just to make sure.

You cant be biased if someone's biased. Your originial statements were irrelivent to the original topic. Your lack logic proves my point still. Your answer for everthing is Russia, Russia, Russia. The fact that I acknowledge other planes, including some russian one's, as some of the greatist planes of all time makes me completly not biased. Just accept the fact that you're biased towards russian aircraft and move on. Come up with different material. End.

You can completely be biased against someone who is "biased". But I am not because I acknowledge other planes. When I speak with David, I talk about Spitfires and such. But I know a lot on Soviet Planes, there is nothing wrong with that is there? So I know more on Soviet planes, and enjoy them more. I think you know little of Soviet planes, and don't understand them. There is nothing wrong with me talking about them, if I'm educating people on them? Which I try to do. I don't go around bashing others planes, if I do, it is just for fun and jokes. And they know that.

I think your just an ignorant little boy, and don't understand much of planes? If you want, I could tell you some things. Maybe you've been getting your ass kicked by a Yak or La? Maybe even a I-16 or I-153, and don't know how to fly them. I can help you with this. But I'm not sure I would by the way your acting.

I just want to add, that not only are you going against me. But those on here, who are also "biased" with other planes. Just accept the fact, that in your eyes I am biased with Soviet planes, but to everyone else (I hope) I educate them and teach them about the Soviet planes.

Night Witches is correct
