Jem Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 The best aircraft ever to exist is the P-47 Thunderbolt. ------------------ I don't fear death because if It happens to me I won't have to worry about it.
Jem Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 P-51-Mustang: Engines: 1150 HP AV 1710 Speed: 387MPH Length: 32.3ft Range: 1,530mi Wingspan: 37ft Weight: 11,800lbs Ceiling: 41,900ft Armaments: 6 machine guns P-47 Thunderbolt: Engines: 1 2300hp P&WR 2800 Speed: 428MPH Length: 36.1ft Range: 475mi Wingspan: 52ft Weight: 19,400lbs Ceiling: 42,000ft Armaments: 8 machine guns Conclusion: The Thunderbolt is a lot better ------------------ I don't fear death because if It happens to me I won't have to worry about it.

Nute Gunray Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 P-51 was better. Two guns didn't make a difference...the RANGE did. Using the same evidence, you could say the P-61 was better than BOTH because it had 8 .50 caliber guns, four of them in a turret. ------------------ I have a life, but I feel mostly dead.
Jem Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 P-47 Thunderbolt Range: 800 miles (1297 km) armement: 8 .50 caliber machine guns an yes the P-51 Mustang has a bigger range: 1000 miles (1610 km) but the P-47 Mustang was originally designed as an interceptor, it found it's true role as a hard-hitting ground-attack aircraft. The P-61 Black Widow has four 20mm cannon, four .50 cal machine guns in optional dorsal turret and a range of 1200 miles (1932 km) Anyways my opinion is that The P-47 Thunderbolt rules ------------------ I don't fear death because if It happens to me I won't have to worry about it.
Jem Posted December 21, 2000 Posted December 21, 2000 The armement is not the only thing that decides if an aircraft is better than an other their is also Propulsion and Performance: the P-47 Thunderbolt is the best ------------------ I don't fear death because if It happens to me I won't have to worry about it.
Guest Sgt. Cole Posted December 21, 2000 Posted December 21, 2000 it is my personal opinion that the P-47 Thunderbolt was the best WWII plane. Has anyone here ever heard of a man named Neel Kearby? He was the Colonel that made the P-47 famous. ------------------ To Learn. To Serve. To Advance. Sgt. Cole, R. 101st RCACS
Zargon Posted December 21, 2000 Posted December 21, 2000 You can't compare them, they were designed, built, and flown for different reasons. THe P-51 was made to escort b-17's over europe and shoot dowm me's
Commander 598 Posted December 21, 2000 Posted December 21, 2000 I say the hell with both of em! The F-18 and the F-22 are BETTER! Were not in WWIII anymore.Think about...The next war. ------------------ Official XWA Gundam Pilot

milkshake Posted December 21, 2000 Author Posted December 21, 2000 The thunderbolt sucks, it's nowhere near as manuverable as the mustang, and I can't defend bombers with it for anything, now with a Mustang, it's no problem. Oh, by the way, I'm the best F22 pilot here, better than all of you, I'd love to see you take out 15 soviets on your own ------------------ Self proclaimed Forum Drunk milkshake@milkshake.co.uk I Rock (English for I have an Ego the size of a small country, like Luxumboug, or Vietnam)

Nute Gunray Posted December 21, 2000 Posted December 21, 2000 I have over 500 kills in an F-22, almost 30 of them from a single mission. I also have 7 gun kills in an A-10. I stick to my claim as best F-22 pilot here and would be willing to defend that title. And you're pathetic "Mustang" is nothing but cannon fodder for my 262.

Admiral Odin Posted December 22, 2000 Posted December 22, 2000 This thing about the P-51. 1) the mustang if more manuverable then the thunderbolt. 2) it is faster than the thunderbolt. 3) when it was introduced air supperiority was won. 4) it just wasn't for escorting bombers, it was an all purpose fighter.
Jem Posted December 22, 2000 Posted December 22, 2000 No way, the P-47 had a max speed 41 MPH faster than the P-51... and the results revealed after the war showed that the Thunderbolt had the most kills (specially on tanks and other ground units). The Thunderbolt was THE war aircraft of WWII ------------------ I don't fear death because if It happens to me I won't have to worry about it.

Jem Posted December 22, 2000 Posted December 22, 2000 http://www.teleport.com/~chalu/repub.htm go there, It tells you how the P-47 Republic Thunderbolt also know as the Juggernaut was the best WWII aircraft...(it is compared with the P-51 and P-38) the most important part is at the end when the dozen reasons why the T-bolt was the superior fighter are given. The Jug's record against all opposing aircraft is remarkable. The ratio of kills to losses was unmistakably a winner. Thunderbolt pilots destroyed a total of 11,874 enemy aircraft, over 9,000 trains, and 160,000 vehicles. ------------------ I don't fear death because if It happens to me I won't have to worry about it.

Commander 598 Posted December 22, 2000 Posted December 22, 2000 In an F22 I managed a total of 50 air and ground kills. Yes it is possible.And all I had was one bomb. The glory of B-61 ------------------ Official XWA Gundam Pilot
Nute Gunray Posted December 22, 2000 Posted December 22, 2000 I love F22 L3...I love to see my hit percentage as something like 29500% after I nuke them... ------------------ I have a life, but I feel mostly dead.
