I was just thinking a moment ago.. did WW2 had something similar to a J10?
You know some kind of plane that was much more agile and faster then the other planes..
I'm not so into WW2 so i thought maybe someone here would know it

You're probably thinking of the German Me-262, which was the first jet fighter, however, it has absolutely no connection to the J-10.

the germans invented some jetplanes late in the war, pretty useless because it couldnt bee in the air so long but it was the fastest tough, arounf 1000km/h if i remember correct.

He's not asking for a plane thats similar to the J10 in design. He wants to know if ww2 had a plane that outclassed all of its peers (like the J10 does in BF2).

ummmm, is it possible to draw a parallel between WW2 and BF2?? i.e. comparing the unbalanced nature of the J10 to something that may well have been similar in WW2?!

I'm not talking about comparing WW2 to BF2 but my question was did WW2 have something what could outclass every other plane, like the j-10 in bf2..

I'd have to say that the P-38 lightning may have had that "J-10" effect on the other aircraft in theater.  Yeah, the Zero was quick in turning, but lacked climb rate, and the ME-262 just didn't have the ability to stay aloft for long periods of time due to it's fuel consumption.  The P-38 however, had a good loitering factor, manuverability, massive armament, and supercharged twin engines to get it out of most situations  with ease.

Some may say that the P-51 mustang was right there as well, but the mustang wasn't a pure dominance aircraft considering all of the ME-109's and FW-190's that it went against.

You also had the ME 363 with a top speed of 950 Km/h, but that was more of a flying rocket with wings.

This is the ME363:

It's a huge flying wing glider-plane.

What would've been dominant is the Horton HO IX

I don't believe there is ONE dominant fighter in WWII. Each had its strengths and weaknesses.
The early part (pre dec7) the main fighters (spitfire and 109) were pretty even. After that the 190 briefly had some dominance until the Allies learned how to beat it and then the Spitfire Mark IX came out. The 51 sucked until it was given a Merlin engine and drop tanks. It became a damned good fighter after that. The 47 was a great, tough airplane. The 262 sucked at dogfighting because it couldn't turn. It was a hit and run plane. Now if they had placed the engines side by side in the fuselage a la F4 Phantom... The best pilots were the Germans. Over 100 German pilots had over 100 kills. Erich Hartmann had 352.

The pacific had the uber manueverable Zero made from papier mache (no armor and unprotected fuel tanks). The Japanese were greatly hampered by stupid commanders.

The Zero was effectively the dominant fighter until the Hellfire (something like that) came. The Zero was so effective because it was light, much faster than anything the Allies had, and it was extremely maneuverable, with a tight turning radius. It sucked if you wanted to go vertical.

all very good info!  I was obsessed with WW2 air combat when I was younger and read alot of books on it.    but as far as the germans being superior, that is a bit skewed because of the fact that americans pilots were rotated back home to train fresh recruits and do war bond tours etc. while the ace german pilots remained on the front hence the high kill totals.  without a doubt the germans were highly skilled pilots. but the american idea of using combat pilots to train newer pilots in the states more then paid off in the end.

I agree there was not ONE dominant fighter, they all had their roles. and the pilot that had the experience to squeeze that extra bit of performance out of his plane, and exploit the enemies weakness made his plane the best. ask the bismark captain about british biplanes attacking them with torps      maybe it was a different ship they attacked as my memory starts to fade in my old age.

History Channel has one of my favorite shows DogFights. It's cool stuff if you are into fighter planes.

UPDATE: you can email them your dogfight stories!!! "Have a famous dogfight you'd like to see? Please email us at [email protected]"  I can't wait to tell them I was flying an F-18 over the Dariq Oilfields and saw a squad of J-10's and took em head on W00T!


For the US P-51 FTW
