The one you posted. Favorite fact about the Kawasaki's is the Americans initially thought the Germans/Italians were giving the Japanese aircraft when they first encountered it because of the inline engine design that contrasted so much with the rotary designs the Japanese were so fond of.

p 51s are pretty bad ass

Tie between the P-38 and the Bf-109.

BV-138, I have a very soft spot in my heart for Seaplanes.
Austin Brown
I go back and forth on this and the Corsair, for no other reason than that I like flying them in my vidya.
Boom and zoom with good roll rate is fun. Shame I'll never get to try it out IRL.
Jordan White

No such designs.
Aiden Russell
Why did the Germans do this?

He probably means radial.
To answer OP: Corsair. I love that everything about it is a compromise or a workaround in order to cram the biggest fucking engine in it they could get, then find out it sucks shit at landing on aircraft carriers.
Evan Murphy
For ground crews to be able to tell at a glance if props were moving
Ryan Sullivan
wunderwaffe designed to hypnotize people suffering from high stress (allied gunners) who stare too long and turn them into nazis.
Unfortunately for the krauts, it was most effective at impacting genetic memory, and usually took a few generations to manifest. Hypnoprop is most notable for how it impacted the culture on Jow Forums.
Owen Sullivan
Yup, hence it’s reporting name Tony referencing the belief that it was an Italian fighter
Jason Roberts
CR.42 Falco, the sexiest of biplanes
Josiah Peterson
To scare of birds who would sometimes hit and damage propellers.
They still do it.
Samuel Wood
Ki-84
Elijah Lewis
This but I'd probably do an LS swap.

Doesn't make up for the fact you can't fucking see out of it!

So autistic that it's actually strangely mesmerizing.
Bentley Ramirez
what do I know? I'm not an aviator
Angel Flores
You posted it. Corsair is a very close second
Henry Lee
Didnt the nips end up shoving a radial engine on it eventually?
Tyler Harris
To hypnotize cannonlets armed with wing mounted MG's into engaging in a head to head against centrally mounted kraut memegechoss cannons.
>t. Warblunder.
Works every time.
Bentley Flores
love its Romanian cousin
Nathaniel Bell
why would they do this?

Nice

The terrifying thing is that it worked. The BV 141 had higher speeds, service ceiling, rate of climb and power to weight ratio than the Fw 189. Add in unparalleled visibility to every single vector other than the starboard side because of the engine, it's possibly the most potent recon plane of its time.

is that a t152 or a fw190d?
like the sexy skinny sister of the fw190.
Jayden Lewis
Yak fighters from Yak-7B to Yak-9UT, Ta-152, P-39Q - they're aesthetic, they have tough weaponry. Too bad none of them could carry rockets
James Sullivan
P51 Or Spitfire

Not to my knowledge. Although they made a buttfuckton of radial engine aircraft.
Jackson Sanders
Yes
>275 Ki-100 airframes were built as Ki-61s before being modified to accept a Mitsubishi Ha-112-II radial engine in place of the original Kawasaki Ha-40 inline engine.

Remove germano-fascisty invaders.
Brayden Myers
same, this plane is so strange it's just amazing
Christopher Foster
Always a tough choice, but if I had to pick an absolute favorite, it would be the Ju-88G series, especially the G-6 nightfighters. Their looks, with the various radars configurations and the use of the "Schräge Musik" cannons, have always fascinated me since a kid.
Jordan Russell
b-29
Jackson Richardson
I am pretty sure the Soviets rigged RS-82s to pretty much anything with wings at one point or another.
Asher Reyes
Yes.
Carson Ross
>dive bomber
>named the "comet"

Name checks out.
I just love the looks of it though.
Nolan Stewart
Me 262 and the Nakajima Kitsuka.
Jason Cooper
Actually, rotary engines were somewhat popular in ww1, most famously used on the sopwith camel. Essentially how it worked was the prop was fixed to the engine, and the drive shaft was fixed to the fuselage. The engine would then spin around the drive shaft. Shit was weird yo.
Hunter Davis
If you've only got one layer of pistons and the engine isn't too heavy, it's a decent approach to consistent aircooling
Asher Young

I love Stukas, but the P-38 is just so sexy I want to sex it like some sex-crazed sex dude.

Does this count as WW2?

Looks like a D9, not quite as leggy as the 152

Sorta its two p-51's jammed together so fuck it

Really, that's why? I mean, if it worked it would definitely make sense to do it, but I just don't understand /how/ it would work. Especially on your fanjet example since it's so small and hard to notice.
I'd assume you were pulling my leg, but it's not like there's a better explanation.

Mfw warplane liveries will never again be a thing let alone this sexy
Leo Thompson
Maybe not the best performer in the late war, but it had a great service record over all and you have to admit: it looks fucking badass.
Landon Foster
The F-82 and P-51 shared around 20% of their parts
Jordan Powell
This thing is pretty nito
Benjamin Miller

Germany's autistic bombers are always interesting

I remember making custom missions in IL-2 full of these guys just to shoot them down.
