spitfire n 1, because the mark xvii ( mk 17 ) had better stats than the mustang with its modified cockpit and it was made in the same era, the one shown in this video is the mk 2 i think, wich was made 4 years earlier. Plus the RAF have better pilots such as pat pattle Battle of Athens and David Cooke, pronounced Cook
MIG-3 shouldn't be inluded & SSR pilots weren't all that impressed by it. Yak-3 - perhaps WWII's most nimble & best dogfighter - & La-5N & La-7 should be included. USA Curtis P-36 (Mohawk etc.) was claimed by Brit Commonwealth pilots in the Pacific & CBI theaters to be the best plane to dogfight Zeros because it was even more manueverable than a Zero, slower but very agile.
All are obvious personal choices of ranking.I would like to comment to the pro British comments.True the Spitfire kicked ass in the Battle of Britain but when they sent them down to Burma to fight the Japs. The Zero's were moping them up. Fact!!! Has anyone seen any evidence where Corsairs went up against German planes?
you ameicans dont know about ww2 the no 1 should be out of all british, russian, japanese, german every country exept american ones you bombed you troops and civilians and made crap planes
@kpcpcpc your country was made by us brits sending dumbasses like you to inhabit america and the rusult is people like you planes that are crap a shit army who begged us to help fend off some pakies and a man who had a beard. we diddent ask for help in ww2 you were allready failing with the japanese who had a small island whick is easy to distroy while we and the russians were attacking germany they had by far the best equipment for ruleing the world.
Presumably your choices are based on personal opinion? Which is a good thing. However, depending on the criteria used, everyone will argue as to which was the best fighter. Ongoing evolution from a basic airframe, would push the Spitfire, into a lead which would be difficult to eclipse. With the ME109 and the FW 190 close followers. Obviously going into the jet age, the ME262 would only be pursued by the Gloster Meteor. 'Top ten' lists are never easy to arrive at, unless parameters are agreed.
And Macchi MC 205 ? And Supermarine Spitfire ? And all the others?
I know that for many historycal the mustang was the top, but The S Spitfire was more manageable and a better rate of rise at high altitude. All the italians airplanes of the "serie 5" were all stronger as weapon. The ME 260 this was the real top.
oh yea totally the american plane that cudnt do shit but fly in a strait line was the best ccaugh SPITFIRE WAS THE BEST has nobody heard of the battle of britain were a handfull of brave british men fuked up like 100 german invader planes]\
@DrinkingClan yeah with materials we sent you. and if you were so great and we suck then wtf did we have to go all the way over there for you thankless dick head?
Mig 3 sucks it was jets that made Mig...Lagg series is great and Yak 9 best of Russian....Me 262 too late to be a power so Typhoon instead and Corsair was in production till Korean war so sheer lenght of service is number 1.....Japanese best is the Frank or Ki 100 ...Zero way to flimsy and dead meat in a head on....you showed a Buchon (merlin Me 109 from Spain) its post war mostly....strategic needs P-51 is best but 190, 109, and Spit rank defensive best....I like Lagg series best tactical
@TheDemon190 I wouldn't bet money on that. The F6F directly led to the defeat of Japan. The Zero was no match for the Hellcat, it was a very nasty surprise for Japanese pilots. I'm not saying you're wrong but I just think you can make a case for the F6F. I think both were suited best for the theatre in which they served.
@wolt96 the F8 bearcat was build in WW2, but wasnt used in combat before Japan surrender. The fastest propellor planes were the British Tempest and the German Do 335.
I think ME 262 shoud be nº1, his only weak was little autonomy, most part of them were shoot in the graund in the las days of war. i think tha planes like KIA 84,, LA 7 or yak 9 where better than corsair and hellcat
The Spitfire was the best fighter of WW2. But at least you picked a British design as the no.1 plane, the P-51 Mustang which at first wasn't so good with the (American) Alison engine but once fitted with a British Merlin turned into one of the best fighters of all time. Just a note, what about the Hurricane, Mosquito and the Tempest?
Nein mein lieber, die Me 262 wahr nich mahr der besste Deutche jäger, der FW190 war der beste.
Me 262 wahr eine unfertige maschine, katastrophale motoren,chlechte waffen, chlechte flug eingenchaften in hohen bereich (stabilität und "mach" kompressions probleme), nur das fahrwerk und die flügel wahren gut.
Der besste Jäger wahr der Tempest II mit Bristol sternmotor, aber der Mustang P51H wahr fast so gut...
@leneanderthalien Genau Du Neanderthaler. Deshalb fliegen heutige Passagiermaschinen noch mit Propellern, weil Düsenantrieb überhaupt nicht fortschrittlicher ist, als Propeller.
Adolf Galland, General der deutschen Luftwaffe im zweiten Weltkrieg und Fw 190 Jagdass hat gesagt, wenn die Luftwaffe 1945 ein paar Hundert mehr Me-262 gehabt hätte, hätten sie die Alliierten innerhalb einer Woche vom Himmel gefegt. Bei deinem IQ hätte ich mir den Kommentar schon sparen können.
@TheNfstuner it's a blocking gear from the gun that runs around the propellers axes. This axes has dimples connected to the gun trigger and blocks when the blade is about run into path of gun. created in ww1
Why is Russian MiG 3 number #5. If any of Russian planes deserves to be in the top 10 it's gotta be La 5 or Yak 3. According to Russians themselves MiG 3 design was't been a good choice. MiG 3 was designed as high altitude interceptor and was too heavy to perform well in prevailing on eastern front low-altitude dog-fight. It was loosing badly to Me-109.
The P51 as shown is not strictly an American aircraft, it is a marriage between an American airframe and the Britsh Rolls Royce Merlin engine. The original was designed by "Dutch" Kindelberger of North American Aviation using a British RAF specifications. The prototype was called NA-73 and was powered by an Allison V-1710-39 motor. The name Mustang Mark I was applied to this aircraft by the Btitish in November 1941.
If you look at the actual success of all these fighters the spitfires in the RAF dominated over all the other ones look at the battle of britian against the odds the spitfire won against all the german ones. All of americas jets in this video are overated on the ranking german and british had alot more success.
left out the La-5 and yak 3 and super cobra- but its hard to rank all these awesome birds- i do agree the Mustang should be number 1 as it was great all around, long range, acrobat that saved th USA bombers ass over Europe. and yes the lightning should be in there- I think we need a top 20 list....
I've heard that the focke wulf 190 D was a superb aircraft. The pilots could open the supercharger fully and out run a mustang.The Luftwaffe pilots didn't think it was going to any good, due to the fact that it was powered with jumo 213 bomber motor, but soon learned of this fighters potential as killing machine.... plus they look awesome... i wonder how a four bladed prop would of propelled them as in speed, but it probably would of slowed the rate of fire by the cannons
What a load of nonsense ! The ME 262 hardly saw any combat, the P38 was not a fighter nor was the Thunderbolt, the Corsair was a dive bomber and probably the finest fighter plane of the War does not even get a mention - the Hawker Hurricane !
@zoso666p the P38 was a fighter hence the P designation and the Thunderbolt was also a fighter, and yes i believe the corsair was the best and most underated aircraft of WW2, but it was not a dive bomber it was a fighter, and i think the Super Corsair would probably have bean the best if it would have saw much combat
@mountaincat1000 corsair was not so good they had to do a redesign before they even finished the prototype hence the long nose that the pilot could not see over when landing on the dack of a swaying ship only coment awfull
@TheDemon190 yes landing was a bitch but so was landing a me109 but it was a excent fighter and had a better kill ratio than the P-51, but that being said it was usually only piloted by veteran pilots and was up against zeros wereas the p51 was up against some of the best fighters of the war, but the germans were running out of veteran pilots
I think to make a Top Ten of fighters is not possible, also not for WW2,
what should they be ranked for? Best technologie ? Most kills on other figthers ?
Most ground kills ? Mostly flew & produced ? Or best records sets to the fighter like altitude, speed, range, firepower, dynamic ? There are alot good fighters missing were more prototypes .. "Folksjäger" , "Natter" , "Curtiss XP-55 Ascender" , HEINKEL HE 162 , but they are all lame compare to the voyager spacecraft anyway.
OMG, this person is insane. First would be P-51, second would hands down go to the Me-109, and third would be spitfire, as far as sheer usefulness and success during this time period. The Me-262 was only used at the end of the war with limited success. Id probably throw the FU4 next, but I know there could easily be arguement for the Folke Wolfe 190. Im biased, so I would throw the Lightning in there and maybe the Thunderbolt and the P-40 was effective early. The Zero would also be included
@fabers185 А, снова ты, тупое польское быдло. Как живешь? Лекарства принимаешь? НАТО тебе снится по ночам? Ты давай, выздоравливай. Хотя, с твоим диагнозом - выздоровление невозможно.
@billybilly1231 you shoot the A6m in the middle it falls apart like it was made out of duct tape. the only reason it was so agile was because it has no armor.
@Johnmartin98 my point proven. example in pearl harbour they didnt have time to shoot them, no one would because they would have been to fast just like in many battles. but i understand how crappy there armor was :P so basically were both right
A Me-262 was the most feared fighter: It was the first jet fighter, carried a big punch at a fast speed, and it was German. The P-38 had truly Lightning speeds, and when working with a wingman ( which one ALWAYS had ) two P-38's could coordinate and easily knock out a Me-262. The Lightning was a evolution in fighters, in the way it operated down to the way they fought. Just look at the architecture and you will see what I mean.
The Republic P-47D Thunderbolt is the best ground support prop plane ever created. It delievered massive payloads, was easy to handle, could take a beating, and in the hands of a competent pilot was a great dogfighter. Plus the P-38 Lightning changed the airwar. It flew out with the bombers, to their targets, and back with them. That was a feat so un-heard of and so successful that it was at the same level as first flight. P-38's packed a punch with their browning machine guns and cannon.
@Firestar1161 i think you should check out the hawker typhoon before calling the p-47 the best ground support weapon of the war. after entering service too early at the start of it's career and after all the bugs were ironed out, it became a specalist ground attack aircraft it was truly devestating as a ground attack platform.
и почему я не удивлен, только начал смотреть, подумал - мустанг будет лучшим в этом топе... мда, удивительно, что советский самолет, вообще включили в ентот "ТОП"))
ES RIDICULO DESDE CUALQUIER PUNTO DE VISTA PENSAR QUE EL ME 262 FUERA SUPERADO POR EL P-51 LO SUPERABA EN TODAS SUS PRESTACIONES POR COMPLETO, SOLO QUE ERA COMPLICADO LUCHAR EN UNA DESVENTAJA NUMERICA DE 15 CONTRA UNO.
Depends on which period of the war you are talking about, in 1939 nothing to compare with Spitfire and Me109, at the end of the war has to be the Mustang as an all round long distance fighter but even then the Spitfire in its latest form was a match for anything in a dog fight.
It's always the 'Stang' that's on top, I mean, what makes that plane so awesome? I can fully agree that it's an air superiority fighter, and it really deserves its spot, but why do I find so much praise for it? In my own opinion, over a P-51 I'd choose the 'Jug'.
First off the Mig-3 = joke. The Zero - maybe at the 'beginning' of the war but your title is 'of WW2", so certainly not. Me 262 is more of an interceptor than a fighter but I'd still put it at number 1. Dick Bong did just fine in the P-38 so that should be on the list. The 190 should have the qualifier of the D-9 version. Ki-84 deserves a nod. And if I had to pick any plane to fly into combat (prop anyway) and if I could be assured it was 'quality assembled' from the factory it would be a Yak-3
Tomahawks and Kittyhawks would bear the brunt of Luftwaffe and Regia Aeronautica fighter attacks during the North African campaign. The P-40s were considered superior to the Hurricane, which they replaced as the primary fighter of the Desert Air Force.[8]
The Spitfire vs. the ME-109 debate can rage on forever, but does no one disagree with the P-51 being the top spot? That Me-262 was damn close. Anyway, is the a hating channel? I was asked to agree to view this page because the content was assessed to be controversial.
haha u got to be seriously having a laugh ME-109 better than the spitfire dont think so 109 were totally outclassed by the spits durin the battle of britain P-51 i agree was a top fighter, 1 that you totally forgot, best fighter during the battle of britain and outclassed the spitfire n the ME-109 an that was the hurricane of which shot down more nazi bombers an fighters than the spits
@squidge540 absolute rubbish, the hurricane was relegated to taking out the bombers while the spitfire flew cover to tangle with the 109's, that was the main reason why the hurricanes had more kills than spitfires and not to mention that there were more hurricanes in service than spitfires in 1940. The hurricane was a solid gun platform and easy to land but as a high altitude fighter it was obsolete by 1941, it was used mostly after 1941 for ground attack and low altitude work.
How does one determines whether a certain plane is considered to be the all time #1? Consider Saburo Sakai when he approached 15 airplanes that he thought was zeros on June 24, 1944, but turned out to be F6F, he ended every single attack from the 15 Hellcat and returned to base untouched,..so u have (according to the claim of this vid) #8 A6M Zero vs #3 F6F Hellcat....should be a no brainer,..or maybe its the pilot that made the difference?
Das ich Nicht Lache ... Was für ein Depp Behauptet denn das die Mustang an Geschwindigkeit und Wendigkeit geschweige denn der Feuerkraft Besser als die Me262 war / ist ?? der Idiot hat doch von nichts ne Ahnung aber davon Seher Viel
@The3Reich ME262 -Maximum speed: 900 km/h (559 mph) Range: 1,050 km (652 mi) Service ceiling: 11,450 m (37,565 ft) Rate of climb: 1,200 m/min (At max weight of 7,130 kg) (3,900 ft/min) Thrust/weight: 0.28 GLOSTER METEOR Maximum speed: 600 mph ( 965 km/h, Mach 0.82) at 3,050 m Range: 600 mi (522 nmi, 965 km) Service ceiling: 13,100 m Rate of climb: 7,000 ft/min (35.6 m/s) Wing loading: 44.9 lb/ft² (149 kg/m²) Thrust/weight: 0.45 Time to altitude: 5.0 min to 30,000 ft (9,145 m)
probably the best piston fighter of ww2 was fw 190(included the best in assolute,the Dora version),many monografy writers consider it the best with p51.mig 3 have many problems.fiat g 55 was superior.bf 109 was great aircraft but in 1943 maybe it was passed and the continuous news did it worse.p 47,great and strong.
Mustang was not bad, but USA join the war with full load of supply while German and British air force was already withering each other for a long period of time. With equally supply, messerschmitt me-163 would beat mustang p-51 the same way as StG 44 that become AK47 and Tiger that become the new tank standard for US army
MiG-3 fünf Plätze vor der FW-190 zeigt schon, was von dieser Reihenfolge zu halten ist. Zudem fehlen die LaGG-5 und die Yak-9. Na wenigstens sind wir uns mit der P-51 auf Platz eins einig ... !
@knilchispam Yes, the song is from Rammstein ("Engel"). And it´s true: The ME-262 was the best warplane in WW2. And it´s a fact: It was the first plane that did break the sound barrier (supersonic).
1.Me-262 Hg 2.YP-80 (1st thunderjet) 3.Spitfire/Seafire MkIICwX 4.Bf-109 5.J2M5(Mitshubushi) 6.A6M(zero) 7.P-51 20AN(better version of Mustang) 8.Yak-9UT 9.Hurricane Mk2 10. P-39Q-1 dude...first of all...P-47 and crousair can't be here because they are ground attack planes...and mustang can't be No1 because he was very unstabile al low speeds because engineers made a little mistake and wrong calculate aerodynamically brunt...
The YP-80 was not the Thunderjet, it was the Shooting Star, the Thunderjet was the F-84. Totally different designs. The P-47 was considered a Figher Bomber and had a GREAT number of Air to Air kills, and the Corsair was specifically designed as a ship based fighter, that later in the war developed into an attack aircraft.
@EvilxMerlin With first that I make mistake and to prove you hat I know F9F was Panther and F-86 Sabre(or Sabre Dog with bigger radar) and P-47 was generally made for ground targets but it could be also used in air to air fights and F4U was also designed for ground attacks and how do you explain bad stabiliy and 4000lbs bombs...and Thunderbolt had bad stability...and weak arment 8x12.7mm
No, the P-47 was designed first and foremost as a fighter-bomber. It was DEADLY as a high altitude fighter. In fact the P-47 shot down more German fighters than the P-51 during the duration of the war. And no, the F4U was designed to fit a Navy request for a single-engined fighter the Navy requested the maximum obtainable speed, and a stalling speed not higher than 70 miles per hour and a range of 1,000 miles.
@EvilxMerlin well I listen an intervievs with pilots from WW2 which were flying on Crousairs and I'm realy woundering who knows better...you or they...maybe you're correct about P-47 but I will ask you again...how do you explain a 4000lbs bombs payload...P-47 was able to take 2250lbs of rockets and bombs together and specially that was one 1000lb bomb, 2x500lb bombs and 6 4inch rocket tubes, 3 on every wing...and I'm not saying that they weren't used in air...
The history of the F4U is very easy to find. The US Navy Bureau of Aeronautics "BuAer" sent a proposal for a high performance, carrier based fighter to United Aircraft Corporation (parent company of Vought-Sikorsky) on February 1, 1938.
Because it can. The F-22 can carry up to 20,000 lbs of bombs as well, but it wasn't designed as a bomber.The P-47 was a VERY well designed multi-role aircraft, but it was initally designed to be a fighter.
@FRforcing p-80?? the p-80 shooting star didn't even serve during ww2 , the only allied jet fighter that served during ww2 was the gloster metoer, the p-47 and cosair were used for ground attack but were designed as fighters, by your arguement the hurricane,airacobra, mustang and spitfire shouldn't be there also as they were used for ground attack during the war. How you get the p-39 at number 10 i don't understand considering it was a complete failure as a high altitude fighter.
@FRforcing the p-80 didn't even serve in ww2 the only allied jet fighter that did enter service in ww 2 was the gloster metoer, the p-39 at 10?? it was a complete failure as a high altitude fighter, also if you consider the cosair and thunderbolt as only ground attack you can put the 262, spitfire,mustang,hurrricane and airacobra in the same boat because all of them were also used for ground attack
@pramboy09 The Yp-80 served in italy and in la manche only two were send to europe and were in fights, bad on them was weak armament 6x12.7 and complicated engine because one exploded on landing in Italy and second had engine flameout on landing near dover...and this second thing I said about general purpose...and mustang hurricane, aircobra general purpose was air and second ground...please if you want to say something more than let it be top 10 prototypes to let me see your knowlege
@FRforcing then you consider the mustang spitfire hurricane as general purpose air first and ground second, so was the thunderbolt and cosair they were firstly a fighter and later was used for both as a fighter and gound attack so both of those aircraft should be on your top ten. but like i said before how you can have the p-39 in your top ten i will never know. i don't inderstand the question about top ten prototypes do you mean enemy aircraft prototypes that didn't enter the war?
@FRforcing also no p-80's flew any combat missions in world war 2, yes two aircraft were sent to italy but the war in europe ended before they flew any combat hours. the only allied jet aircraft that flew in combat in ww2 was the gloster meteor. both the p-80 shooting star and the dehavilland vampire were due to enter service just as ww 2 came to a close.
the me 109 is No1 as the top 100 aces of ww2 flew them not only that but there be a lot of german influence in a couple more aircraft here...the eliptical wing of the spitfire came from heinkel....the p51 stang was designed by edgar schmued [german] who learnt his trade at messerschmitt....at the end of the day its the PILOT that makes a plane great
@LetsPlayerKartoffeln He's not being totally fair, The Caproni Campini N.1 was a "motorjet" and required a piston engine to operate so it is not the first 'Jet' as in the common lexicon.. an aircraft solely powered by a turbojet engine. It was more like a piston assisted pulsejet. It is commonly accepted that the He 178 was the first pure jet aircraft but of coarse you could argue the N.1 was the first (motorjet) aircraft and I think probably the last of its kind too.
Actually, no they were not. In fact the Fw 190 copied a LOT from American Naval aircraft. Almost all the engines used by the Germans (radial) were copies of American engines...
No the first jet aircraft was the Italian Caproni Campini N.1 that flew on August 27, 1940. The first German Jet was the He 178. Where the HELL do you get your information from?
@EvilxMerlin Rather esoteric don't you think? The Caproni Campini N.1 was a "motorjet" and required a piston engine to operate so it is not the first 'Jet' as in the common lexicon.. an aircraft solely powered by a turbojet engine. It was more like a piston assisted pulsejet. It is commonly accepted that the He 178 was the first pure jet aircraft but of coarse you could argue the N.1 was the first (motorjet) aircraft and I think probably the last of its kind too.
the me 109 is the third best of these planes and the spitfire is behund the 109

Me 262 wahr eine unfertige maschine, katastrophale motoren,chlechte waffen, chlechte flug eingenchaften in hohen bereich (stabilität und "mach" kompressions probleme), nur das fahrwerk und die flügel wahren gut.
Der besste Jäger wahr der Tempest II mit Bristol sternmotor, aber der Mustang P51H wahr fast so gut...

@leneanderthalien Genau Du Neanderthaler. Deshalb fliegen heutige Passagiermaschinen noch mit Propellern, weil Düsenantrieb überhaupt nicht fortschrittlicher ist, als Propeller.
Adolf Galland, General der deutschen Luftwaffe im zweiten Weltkrieg und Fw 190 Jagdass hat gesagt, wenn die Luftwaffe 1945 ein paar Hundert mehr Me-262 gehabt hätte, hätten sie die Alliierten innerhalb einer Woche vom Himmel gefegt. Bei deinem IQ hätte ich mir den Kommentar schon sparen können.

Why is Russian MiG 3 number #5. If any of Russian planes deserves to be in the top 10 it's gotta be La 5 or Yak 3. According to Russians themselves MiG 3 design was't been a good choice. MiG 3 was designed as high altitude interceptor and was too heavy to perform well in prevailing on eastern front low-altitude dog-fight. It was loosing badly to Me-109.

The P51 as shown is not strictly an American aircraft, it is a marriage between an American airframe and the Britsh Rolls Royce Merlin engine. The original was designed by "Dutch" Kindelberger of North American Aviation using a British RAF specifications. The prototype was called NA-73 and was powered by an Allison V-1710-39 motor. The name Mustang Mark I was applied to this aircraft by the Btitish in November 1941.

I've heard that the focke wulf 190 D was a superb aircraft. The pilots could open the supercharger fully and out run a mustang.The Luftwaffe pilots didn't think it was going to any good, due to the fact that it was powered with jumo 213 bomber motor, but soon learned of this fighters potential as killing machine.... plus they look awesome... i wonder how a four bladed prop would of propelled them as in speed, but it probably would of slowed the rate of fire by the cannons

I think to make a Top Ten of fighters is not possible, also not for WW2,
what should they be ranked for? Best technologie ? Most kills on other figthers ?
Most ground kills ? Mostly flew & produced ? Or best records sets to the fighter like altitude, speed, range, firepower, dynamic ? There are alot good fighters missing were more prototypes .. "Folksjäger" , "Natter" , "Curtiss XP-55 Ascender" , HEINKEL HE 162 , but they are all lame compare to the voyager spacecraft anyway.

OMG, this person is insane. First would be P-51, second would hands down go to the Me-109, and third would be spitfire, as far as sheer usefulness and success during this time period. The Me-262 was only used at the end of the war with limited success. Id probably throw the FU4 next, but I know there could easily be arguement for the Folke Wolfe 190. Im biased, so I would throw the Lightning in there and maybe the Thunderbolt and the P-40 was effective early. The Zero would also be included

A Me-262 was the most feared fighter: It was the first jet fighter, carried a big punch at a fast speed, and it was German. The P-38 had truly Lightning speeds, and when working with a wingman ( which one ALWAYS had ) two P-38's could coordinate and easily knock out a Me-262. The Lightning was a evolution in fighters, in the way it operated down to the way they fought. Just look at the architecture and you will see what I mean.
Firestar1161 4 weeks ago
The Republic P-47D Thunderbolt is the best ground support prop plane ever created. It delievered massive payloads, was easy to handle, could take a beating, and in the hands of a competent pilot was a great dogfighter. Plus the P-38 Lightning changed the airwar. It flew out with the bombers, to their targets, and back with them. That was a feat so un-heard of and so successful that it was at the same level as first flight. P-38's packed a punch with their browning machine guns and cannon.
Firestar1161 4 weeks ago
@Firestar1161 i think you should check out the hawker typhoon before calling the p-47 the best ground support weapon of the war. after entering service too early at the start of it's career and after all the bugs were ironed out, it became a specalist ground attack aircraft it was truly devestating as a ground attack platform.

Depends on which period of the war you are talking about, in 1939 nothing to compare with Spitfire and Me109, at the end of the war has to be the Mustang as an all round long distance fighter but even then the Spitfire in its latest form was a match for anything in a dog fight.
So , not much point in putting this vid on here.
Be more specific.

It's always the 'Stang' that's on top, I mean, what makes that plane so awesome? I can fully agree that it's an air superiority fighter, and it really deserves its spot, but why do I find so much praise for it? In my own opinion, over a P-51 I'd choose the 'Jug'.
speedenforcer918 1 month ago
First off the Mig-3 = joke. The Zero - maybe at the 'beginning' of the war but your title is 'of WW2", so certainly not. Me 262 is more of an interceptor than a fighter but I'd still put it at number 1. Dick Bong did just fine in the P-38 so that should be on the list. The 190 should have the qualifier of the D-9 version. Ki-84 deserves a nod. And if I had to pick any plane to fly into combat (prop anyway) and if I could be assured it was 'quality assembled' from the factory it would be a Yak-3

@squidge540 absolute rubbish, the hurricane was relegated to taking out the bombers while the spitfire flew cover to tangle with the 109's, that was the main reason why the hurricanes had more kills than spitfires and not to mention that there were more hurricanes in service than spitfires in 1940. The hurricane was a solid gun platform and easy to land but as a high altitude fighter it was obsolete by 1941, it was used mostly after 1941 for ground attack and low altitude work.

How does one determines whether a certain plane is considered to be the all time #1? Consider Saburo Sakai when he approached 15 airplanes that he thought was zeros on June 24, 1944, but turned out to be F6F, he ended every single attack from the 15 Hellcat and returned to base untouched,..so u have (according to the claim of this vid) #8 A6M Zero vs #3 F6F Hellcat....should be a no brainer,..or maybe its the pilot that made the difference?

The YP-80 was not the Thunderjet, it was the Shooting Star, the Thunderjet was the F-84. Totally different designs. The P-47 was considered a Figher Bomber and had a GREAT number of Air to Air kills, and the Corsair was specifically designed as a ship based fighter, that later in the war developed into an attack aircraft.
EvilxMerlin 1 month ago
@EvilxMerlin With first that I make mistake and to prove you hat I know F9F was Panther and F-86 Sabre(or Sabre Dog with bigger radar) and P-47 was generally made for ground targets but it could be also used in air to air fights and F4U was also designed for ground attacks and how do you explain bad stabiliy and 4000lbs bombs...and Thunderbolt had bad stability...and weak arment 8x12.7mm
FRforcing 1 month ago
@FRforcing
No, the P-47 was designed first and foremost as a fighter-bomber. It was DEADLY as a high altitude fighter. In fact the P-47 shot down more German fighters than the P-51 during the duration of the war. And no, the F4U was designed to fit a Navy request for a single-engined fighter the Navy requested the maximum obtainable speed, and a stalling speed not higher than 70 miles per hour and a range of 1,000 miles.
EvilxMerlin 1 month ago
@EvilxMerlin well I listen an intervievs with pilots from WW2 which were flying on Crousairs and I'm realy woundering who knows better...you or they...maybe you're correct about P-47 but I will ask you again...how do you explain a 4000lbs bombs payload...P-47 was able to take 2250lbs of rockets and bombs together and specially that was one 1000lb bomb, 2x500lb bombs and 6 4inch rocket tubes, 3 on every wing...and I'm not saying that they weren't used in air...
FRforcing 1 month ago
@FRforcing
The history of the F4U is very easy to find. The US Navy Bureau of Aeronautics "BuAer" sent a proposal for a high performance, carrier based fighter to United Aircraft Corporation (parent company of Vought-Sikorsky) on February 1, 1938.
Because it can. The F-22 can carry up to 20,000 lbs of bombs as well, but it wasn't designed as a bomber.The P-47 was a VERY well designed multi-role aircraft, but it was initally designed to be a fighter.

@FRforcing p-80?? the p-80 shooting star didn't even serve during ww2 , the only allied jet fighter that served during ww2 was the gloster metoer, the p-47 and cosair were used for ground attack but were designed as fighters, by your arguement the hurricane,airacobra, mustang and spitfire shouldn't be there also as they were used for ground attack during the war. How you get the p-39 at number 10 i don't understand considering it was a complete failure as a high altitude fighter.

@pramboy09 The Yp-80 served in italy and in la manche only two were send to europe and were in fights, bad on them was weak armament 6x12.7 and complicated engine because one exploded on landing in Italy and second had engine flameout on landing near dover...and this second thing I said about general purpose...and mustang hurricane, aircobra general purpose was air and second ground...please if you want to say something more than let it be top 10 prototypes to let me see your knowlege
FRforcing 1 month ago
@FRforcing then you consider the mustang spitfire hurricane as general purpose air first and ground second, so was the thunderbolt and cosair they were firstly a fighter and later was used for both as a fighter and gound attack so both of those aircraft should be on your top ten. but like i said before how you can have the p-39 in your top ten i will never know. i don't inderstand the question about top ten prototypes do you mean enemy aircraft prototypes that didn't enter the war?

@FRforcing also no p-80's flew any combat missions in world war 2, yes two aircraft were sent to italy but the war in europe ended before they flew any combat hours. the only allied jet aircraft that flew in combat in ww2 was the gloster meteor. both the p-80 shooting star and the dehavilland vampire were due to enter service just as ww 2 came to a close.

It was more like a piston assisted pulsejet. It is commonly accepted that the He 178 was the first pure jet aircraft but of coarse you could argue the N.1 was the first (motorjet) aircraft and I think probably the last of its kind too.
