Black Cats. PBY Catalinas that had the bomb sights removed, quad .50s added to the nose, and radar added. Used as night raiders in the Pacific. Also had a twin .30 turret on the nose, waist .50s, and could carry bombs and torpedoes.

Their mission was basically "fuck with people." For example, once a Japanese airbase was cut off, and they knocked out the AA, the Black Cats would circle them all night. They'd randomly throw out empty beer bottles, which would whistle the whole way down. Every few bottles, they'd randomly mix in a handheld frag bomb. Once every few hours, they'd drop a 250 or 500 lb bomb, too. By the time the Marines arrived, the Japs hadn't slept in days or weeks.

They also did search and rescue during the day, and night raids on convoys. They could skim the wavetops using radar altimeters, drop torpedoes, and boogy on out, while staying so low they couldn't be seen, and the gunners couldn't depress their guns enough to throw anything heavy at them.

The planes themselves were obsolete before the war even started, but they eventually figured out how to use them to raise hell.

Also, the large gun on the AC-130 generates about 93000 kg of force at maximum. Considering the the Mitchell is lighter, and lacks the recoil system of a c130, it’s kinda reasonable to assume that the plane would be slowed down pretty heavily, albeit not a complete stop

>Japanese pilots regarded it as the most formidable American fighter of World War II,[8] and the U.S. Navy counted an 11:1 kill ratio with the F4U Corsair.[9]


> 2,140 air combat victories against 189 losses to enemy aircraft, for an overall kill ratio of over 11:1.[64] Against the best Japanese opponents, the aircraft claimed a 12:1 kill ratio against Mitsubishi A6M and 6:1 against the Nakajima Ki-84, Kawanishi N1K-J and Mitsubishi J2M combined during the last year of the war.[65] The Corsair bore the brunt of U.S. fighter-bomber missions, delivering 15,621 short tons (14,171 metric tons) of bombs during the war (70% of total bombs dropped by U.S. fighters during the war).


Guns:

In the pacific, the only way the Japanese homeland could be hit was through bombers, and the closest airfields were still hundreds of kilometers away from the islands.

For novelty value: The Hillson Bi-mono.

Built to test the concept of a detachable wing to allow interceptors to use shorter runways, then drop the upper wing and fly as monoplanes. (This was later tested full-scale on a Hawker Hurricane too.)

The best feature is undoubtedly that the maximum speed of the Bi-mono in biplane configuration was beneath the stall speed in monoplane configuration.

until the p-51 was introduced it worked because the fighters carrying the cannon had two engines and could outrun the fighter support.
The me-262s were sometimes also equipped with cannons or unguided rockets and were obviously fast enough to get away in time.

but thats wrong
they were superb fighters and the germans even wanted to build G.55s instead their Bf-109s but 109s are easier,faster and cheaper to make than G.55s

"when, after comparative tests against the Messerschmitt Bf 109G and the Focke-Wulf 190, the Luftwaffe itself regarded the Fiat G.55 as "the best Axis fighter"

>>34272082
germans also had the tendency to throw everything they had at a new enemy plane to see what it can do and what its purpose is and they actually had good high altitude interceptors which could touch the B-29 while the nips had no real chance at scratching the B-29s

I'm still surprised that it took the Italians so long to realize that their fighters were underarmed.

Some noplanes probably misunderstood a pilot joking and actually believed it.

However, they would have to do sheet metal work on Army's 75mm equipped B-25Gs after a few weeks because the cannon would knock rivets loose.

Using which pilots? From 1942 and onward, Japan kept losing veteran pilots at an astounding rate and the Americans kept gaining them and sending them back home to train new recruits.

Needed elsewhere.

Pretty much anything would take a Merlin "power egg"

Brought to you by Fanny Lucy Radmall of all people. She basically paid for the engine in the S6.B Seaplane which you doubtless know the sound of.

Meh. What German capital ship did that sink :)

>>34285255
non, it was a bunker buster.
what was odd about it was that it had a rocket engine and could reach 990 miles per hour (1,590km/h). could go though 16ft (4.9m) of solid concrete

Murricans basically didn't.
B.29 could haul a Grand Slam only externally nothing American in Europe came close to a Lanc in payload and the B.17 was "quite a pretty medium bomber".

>>34286430
what about the B-24?

>>34286456
No room for anything big. It had a heck of a range on it but a Mosquito could carry a larger single device than her.

>>34286486
what was the normal payload of the 24? i know the mossie could carry a cookie

>>34286456
Wiki says 8000lbs short range for the B24, while the Lancaster's standard loadouts has a few in the 12000 to 15000 lbs range.

Most aircraft of the day were designed around the pic tiddlers on the left.
Some muppet wanted two torpedoes internally in a medium which led to the Manchester and eventually to its bigger brother.

>>34286591
the lanc was just a four engine manchester, were the engines didn't spit out connecting pins, as far as i know

>>34286630
More wing and a different engine.

Used successfully BTW as a dive bomber with a 12000lb bomb.

>>34286665
