>>64456886The most American thing ever.
>>64456876There's a beauty to a corporately sponsored warplane destroying Bolshevik shitplanes.
>>64456876>worst performing fighter plane in all of america>still an export success that beat ziggers 30:1
>>64456956Really puts those Luftwaffe century-aces into perspective.
>>64456956Buffs handled beautifully. The landing gear had trouble, which made them unsuited for carrier landings, and they lacked armor/ss tanks, and were a bit underpowered. But the in air handling was superb.
>>64456956Finnish Buffaloes weighted less than USN Buffaloes so they were nimbler and faster.
>>64457181The F2A-3 was the fastest version, IIRC.
>>64456961A ton of those 'kills' (really they track 'victories' which different countries had different metrics of counting them) were against slow as shit soviet cas bombers or in the early days of Barbarosa fighting a disorganized and confused soviet airforce.
>>64456956>heavier carrier version of plane performs worse while fighting highly experienced pilots in much more nimble planesThe I-16 probably turns better, but would the Soviet pilots had been experienced enough to use that maneuverability? >>64456961>>64457336Most highly scored Luftwaffe aces had been fighting since Spain, or had been kicking the shit out of worse air forces in the early war. A good number did get most of their kills downing American heavy bombers, though.
>>64456886>>64456920Heh
>>64457480Saw the documentary. Pepsi should've just bought him the damn Harrier.
>>64456956probably because they fibbed.

>>64456920The insulin gave me a chuckle
>>64457484They were far too sure that he would give up before they actually had to make good on it. Big corps don't usually care if they can actually win suits like that, just that they can stay in the courts longer than you can

>>64457336>>64457374hartmann was just some dude who started during the war, was good at basic flying skills and didn't stick around to find out after the initial engagement either succeeded or failed
>>64458743Cool
