Re: Top 10 Fighters

I agree on the F-14. F-18 isnt bad either isnt it?

I liked how they ranked tanks a lot more.

Re: Top 10 Fighters

Yo, it was on the military channel tonight for you people that don't know, it was on at like 6 or 7 oclock. I've watched on demand before. I'm fine with them, i only have one qualm, lack of US fighters in WWII era, corsair, thunderbolt (usually considered ground attack, but oh well) Hellcat, etc.

3. Fear Factor

The Ju-87 be up there for that reason alone.

Re: Top 10 Fighters

im surprised that the "thunderbolt" isn't up there, or the "hurricane", both are very efefctive planes during world war 2

Re: Top 10 Fighters

I remember seeing the P51 in some top 10 list somewhere, must have not been this one hmm.

[Robocline]

Re: Top 10 Fighters

the P51 is #1 what do you mean not enough US planes from WW2

also the JU87 was a divebomber not a fighter but you're right about the fear factor thing

and the russians had the best tank i think it was the T34 from WW2 and the M1A1 was #2

Re: Top 10 Fighters

The T34-85 was first in the tanks yes I think so.
No idea why I did not see that the mustang was first in this list :p was looking further down :o

Re: Top 10 Fighters

Re: Top 10 Fighters

Tell that to the Israeli Air Force who owned the skies in their F-4s.
