>German autism is just a me-
Kurt Tank the absolute madman
this one was supposed to run on coal and take out enemy aircraft by ramming them
I know all about German fighter designs
We flew whatever the British or yanks gave us or let us build. Spitfires, Hurricanes, P-38s, P-39s, P-40s, P-51s, Beaufighters, Blenheims, Wellingtons, Hampdens, Lancasters, B-24s, B-25s.
We designed a few though. CAC Boomerang a cute
I read a lot about it too
Do you know this?
yeah
pretty cool
desu some of their design were pretty legit.
This is now a rare ww2 aeroplane pictures thread
Bombing the japs taking shots like its nothing
Such a shame we never had bomber squadrons after ww2
I don't see why our airforce kept producing outclassed Bf 109s when they could've spammed these
this fella was built in 45 and missed the war, too bad
>straight wings
point at him and laugh
LOL propeller
Everyone should have surrendered to germany. They wer 20years ahead. Usual west: yours better than mine...smash...now mine best
Fuck out of here noob prop aircraft are GOAT
The reality is that Germany was at times 2 or at best 5 years ahead of the allies, no doubt their designs were more elegant and technologically advanced but it's often exaggerated
no we weren't.
What you posted is a super advanced propeller fighter, with the 95 octane avgas germany had they made a single engined interceptor that does 755 km/h in level flight. The Ta 152 was an engineering masterpiece and truly the crush of any knowledgeable historic aviation fan
sorry misread your post as agreeing with him
Allies were ahead in very important regards like nukes, proximity fuses, strategic bombers, high altitude fighters, and pretty much equal in everything else except maybe submarines and ballistic missiles
>In 1940 I could at least fly as far as Glasgow in most of my aircraft, but not now! It makes me furious when I see the Mosquito. I turn green and yellow with envy. The British, who can afford aluminium better than we can, knock together a beautiful wooden aircraft that every piano factory over there is building, and they give it a speed which they have now increased yet again. What do you make of that? There is nothing the British do not have. They have the geniuses and we have the nincompoops. After the war is over I'm going to buy a British radio set – then at least I'll own something that has always worked.

>allies ahead in high altitude fighters
You posted the Ta 152 and we have not even discussed Blohm & Voss model 255
Having a few jets didn't mean much when most of the Luftwaffe was still planes designed in the 30s that couldn't compete with a Mustang even at the end of the war
Which aircraft should I post? British? Japanese? Chinese?
they weren't ahead of the Allies in tech though, their radar, computation power, scientific development, all was behind the US and UK, even the supposed jet propulsion was not unique
What is this boomer lore
The only lacking part of the luftwaffe in terms of fighters, being period respective, is that 109s wouldn't go as high as mustangs. A 190 D is entirely analog to a mustang and anything later than that trumps any allied fighter in performance
yeah but of those 1 didn't even have a working prototype and of the other I think only a few dozen were produced, meanwhile the allies had excellent high altitude long range fighters like the P-51 ready years before
also see
the reality is Germany was somewhat on par in terms of development, but we were never able to put that much to use as our industry, especially with how little resources it had, could never compete with that of the Allies
Really? Have you heard of He 219... or any of the anti-sub maritime patrol aircraft germany operated... German tech BTFO'd allies in every respect
Nigga they were pioneering transonic flight while the allies were doing fuck all.
Buffalos flewn during the battle of singapore
Production numbers doesn't mean anything when talking about technological milestones. Also, Fw 190 with inline engines was on par with mustang at the same time or even earlier
>He 219
the night fighter versions of the Mosquito and the American P-61 were on par
>anti-sub maritime patrol aircraft germany operated
that were converted passenger planes, the B-24 or the PBY Catalina excelled in this role too
Yes you're right on the first part and the Fw 190 was good at everything but high altitude, but in general the Allies were able to produce modern equipment en masse, meanwhile Germany had to rely on pre-war or early-war designs for the bulk of its army
a solid aircraft, climbed and power dived well, not as tight to turn as the flimsy wooden frame of the zero, but could be worse
>bare metal
absolute kino
The Doras were entirely analogue to mustangs at the same time. Also being able to excel and stay modern by updating legacy design should say something about how well they were designed in the first place
wehraboo argument - we would have won if we didn't lose
wehraboo argument is that germans were more advanced but lost anyway
With resource accessible by Germany, there's no chance they could win regardless of technology level
did you even read the thread?
Underdog plane used by pretty much every allied nation.
Outclassed in most ways by it's competition but it held the line until something better came along and still served until the end of the war as a great ground attack platform.
Flying Fortress
queen of the skies!
IL-2 looks almost like floating
If you have any secrit russian footage of la-5 or la-7 flying you should post it.
They were sexy.
I love the way these look but they should have used the engines on 109s instead. As soon as the allies had fighters with the proper range to escort bombers the 110s got blown out of the sky with ease.
Should've built more of these
the he162 was fucking terrible and your country barely could mass produce the bf109s.
me262 and the horton were the only meme airplanes that actually were useful
carried naval dive bomber
it only was terrible because it was flown by Hitlerjugend children without training and because it was built by slaves out of plywood
the design was excellent and cheap
>The difficulties experienced by the He 162 were caused mainly by its rush into production, not by any inherent design flaws.[21] One experienced Luftwaffe pilot who flew it called it a "first-class combat aircraft." Eric "Winkle" Brown of the Fleet Air Arm, who flew a record 486 different types of aircraft, said the He 162 had "the lightest and most effective aerodynamically balanced controls" he had experienced.[22]
and there were plenty of "meme airplanes" that were promising, plus the 262 can't be called that, over 1000 were produced
>mfw we won't have an air force as cool as in ww2 and the following years
japan had some really neat shit. its unfortunate your country had 0 resources to build them with
Focke-Wulf 190 A-5 in Japan
German engineering is always one or two steps ahead of us
the he162 was an incredibly uncapable plane compared to the messerschmitt program. the plane flies like garbage and was unbalanced as fuck. it wasnt even that fast either so it was all for nothing.
>plane was cheap because it was made with plywood and slave labor
>plane wouldnt have been shit if it was made with real parts
really makes me think
also 1000 me262s over its entire lifespan was a drop in the bucket as the allies would pump out 5000 combined fighters in a single month.
where to you get that info on its flying characteristics from? Do you know better than these two veteran fighter pilots I cited?
ANBO VIII Light bomber.
Max height: 9km
Max speed: 411km/h
Nakajima G5N
Four-Engined heavy bomber
We had no choice.. Japan were poor and there wasn't enough industrial.
sorry pic
a prototype jet airplane made in 1940
Japan had good engineers just poor access to the resources needed to make good engines.
Pre war we made our own planes
Couldn't compete with the american aircraft given by leand lease
In April, 1945 Guards Major Kozhedub (La-7) tried to defend an American B – 17 from a pair of German fighters. However, the American fighters of the cover started firing from a large distance and attacked Kozhedub. Kozhedub promptly attacked the nearest machine. There was a smoke and it flew down towards our troops (the pilot of this machine soon jumped out with a parachute and landed safely. How can anyone stop us?
Wrong pic, im retarded and they're all titled the same.
just look at its garbage flight characteristics and performance numbers
turn time of 27 seconds made it a flying cow
and the fact it stalled so easily made it pointlessly bad. "what you accidentaly put more than 18 gforce in a jet plane? lol guess your wings get to fall off" fockwulfs and the ta 152 were better for actually killing allied planes
Aichi M6A1(晴嵐:Seiran)
Submarine Aircraft carrier based Naval bomber.
We did bombing to the America by it.
Pasta planes are sexy
American planes
>fockwulfs and the ta 152 were better for actually killing allied planes
better dogfighters maybe, but for killing bombers the Heinkel was an easy and cheap solution
>P-47 Thunderbolt
wow i love it.
That's a big plane
why make the heinkel then when the me262 was already in production and could flawlessly perform that role?
U U
U U
4u
because the Heinkel was far cheaper and easier to produce
How common was the use of ground attack aircraft like (pic related)
it was too cheap and that compromised its ability to even perform such a task of shooting down bombers. it needed to be redesigned because it fell apart at high speeds but this couldnt happen without making the plan more expensive and delaying it even more.
it had to be artificially governed to only 500kph top speed which made its climb rate/top speed/handling/and armament worse than me410 that was already a dedicated heavy fighter
P-47
the model you showed wasn't that widespread, a few hundred were built I think. We had thousands of Stukas, but with the ongoing war they soon became outdated. We then armed the Bf 110 and Fw 190 with bombs to help in that role
yeah fair points
but the program was what Germany needed, just came far too late, something like that should've been implemented in 43/43. You have to remembered the entire program was done in a matter of weeks/a few months
Kawanishi H8K flying boat
if it had time to actually be developed then yes it would have most likely succeeded very well but in the final interpretation that was ever made in real life, it was garbage that only wasted resources.
an absolute masterpiece
Captured F2A buffalo
yes you're right
