Planes

The P-38 is the second greatest war plane of WW2 behind the P-51 mustang.

I wish there was the tank-hunter version of the Stuka.

Hard to measure the term 'greatest plane'. My favourites are the Spitfire and the Bf-109. But the P-38 is surely a great plane - loved the ground attack missions in that Jane's WWII fighter sim a few years ago on the PC.

P.S.: He-111, the Stuka is in the game - maybe we get the tank hunter version as DLC

If only the Fieseler Fi 103 was in the game. For those who don't know what it was: It was a V-1 rocket, that was piloted. As if the survival rate of pilots in WW2 was bad enough, the Germans came up with this.

I see thats the german version of the ohka?

You've obviously never heard that kill ratio between P-38's and Me-109's. Unless it was piloted by a good well trained and knew how to handle the plane well pilot, the Me-109's tore through P-38s. That's why most were transfered to the Pacific theatre.

If you want to know the best planes in WW2, it would have to be the Yak-3 which could take on a FW-190 in an even fight at low to mid-altitudes. And for a plane that could take on a Me-109 in a fare fight would be the Spitfire Mk 9.

Now, I'm not very knowledgeable with planes so most of this conversation is going over my head. But the Yak 3 looks a lot like the Spitfire (I don't know which model numbers). Is that intentional, or is the Spitfire design suitable for an all-around plane. A response with out starting like:
"Oh the little you know," or " God, you are a moron," would be much appreciated.
