Id have to agree with all of you on those. Except the tertles, they are boring
The P-61, love it, its a big P-38 with a crew and a bigger load
The b-25, love it, specially the ones with the 75mm, only plane on the allied side with a 75 wasnt it?
I know the German Ju-88 could use a 75mm, or 50mm, and even four 37mm's and with all forward firing arnament, since there
was no bombs the bombsight in the nose would be replaced with a 20mm turret. Also i love the Ju-88 night fighter and heavy fighter variants, with the solid nose full of cannons. They would actually paint the solid metal nose to look like glass, so the allied forces could not tell the heavy fighter Ju-88's from the standard bombers, and their strategy for dealing with the bombers was to attack head on where there was usually only one turret.
Id have to say my favorite nightfighter would go to the the Messerschmitt 262 and Arado 234 variants.
On to the B-17, it carried less than a Ju-88, but it had enough defensive arnament to go un-escorted.
Its a great feeling to walk into a B-17, its like three schoolbuses in a row, but filled with guns.
