    the 109 E's held up fairly well against the spitfires and hurricanes they were fighting against tbh.

    They were, however, severely held back by low fuel (they only could fight for a few minutes and then had to head back home), and were also forced to fly at lower altitudes than they could've flown at, due to the bombers they had to escort.

    Yeah, the RAF's odds were sort of against them, the Luftwaffe was just badly organised, strategy wise.

    ooo, but in my opinion, the P51 is my favorite, due to its range and high altitude abilities

    I like the BF110's design quite a lot for some reason. The tail design is pretty kewl.

    Too bad it was absolutely useless, though :rolleyes:

    Useless as a fighter, yes. (In the beginning it worked decently and had some success, but the later allied planes were just better in every regard).
    But it was used with some success as a night fighter (with a radar!) and as an attack aircraft.
    (And it looks cool) :D

    Putting the twin rudders centered right in the prop wash was early thrust vectoring.

    The Swiss Air Force had some Bf110’s back in the day. You might look for pix of it with those markings.

    You mean the Swiss had an Air Force? They actually fought in a war? ;)

    (I say this because the Swiss are neutral in almost everything).

    That image might be from some video game.

    But yeah, the Swiss Air Force is a thing. In the second WW their mission was “stay-out-of-our-airspace”. They bought equipment from Germany but other powers as well.

    I have no idea if a Messerschmidt v. Messerschmidt dogfight ever happened. But since the topic was 109s and 110s it seemed like the perfect image.

    Pretty sure the SAF never operated X-wings cf. @NIGHTBRINGER (aka @SWARSBRINGER ;) )
