Plane Awards

[The Legendary Spitfire]

I've thought that several planes are unique enough, good enough or otherwise to acheive an "award" and Have compiled a list of them.
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)

Most beautiful plane - Hawker Hurricane
Best plane for landing - Hawker Hurricane
Most forgiving plane - Hawker Hurricane
Most underrated plane - Hawker Hurricane
Best all rounder - Hawker Hurricane



Favouritism i know haha.

As for all rounder i dont agree with the XVI. I think the IX is better to be honest. It all depends on the pilot i guess.

You could use a P 02 in arcade, since everything flies the same

Whats with your hate for the Po-2?

Best Turner- I-153 (not debatable)

Urmm Po-2 easily out turns the I-153.

Lowest Flying Speed- Po-2 (can cruise at 200 but fly at 150)

I can fly the Po-2 at under 30mph

Best plane for flying under the bridges in Berlin- I-16 (those things are tight)

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

Best Bomber Destroyer- P51D-5 (10 rockets means its a killer)

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 )

Ok the Po-2 might be able to outurn the I-153. Sorry.

And the He162 is too fast for precision flying.

Rockets, ok, depends on preferences.

It cruises at ---- speed, you need at least only 400-500 to fly with any precision and with the jet that speed is hard to acheive as is any turning ability.

Agreed 262 best bomber killer 4 30 mills oh yeah
