Guess That Plane!

[PhroX]

Ah the Fury. It's nice that the naval version saw service, but she was a pale shadow of the Sabre-engined original.

Here's another of the late war prototypes. Not the prettiest IMO (the nose looks a bit off), but when you're arguably a better carrier fighter, dive bomber and torpedo bomber than the equivalent specialist planes in service, does it matter?

I'd also like Paradox to change the Army support aircraft for the British to Tempest mk.II (Rolland Beamont was getting a Wing together for the Japanese war at the end of the war). I realise they are only names but it is like watching the film "Patton" and the tanks on both side are the same but with different paint jobs... kills the film for me.

There are many films out there which just use the M48 PATTON tanks for both armies with different paint jobs
Although we should not be criticizing them for using the same tank, as their main intension is completely different than the tanks themselves
But it is really disturbing for history guys like the you family to watch it
Every time I watch any of those old ww2 movies I go like
"Man this is just bullcrap this tank was not even German this was not even produced during this time and so on & all my friends around me will be like o_0 -_-

This perticular image is from the movie BATTLE OF THE BULGE and for the love of god they show these as a king tiger tank *facepalm*


Edit: the first image from the movie Patton

I just remembered an obscure plane to post in this thread . Only took me nearly two weeks, lol. That said, this isn't it, it's another obscure plane I tripped over while looking for the plane in question (which I'll post later). Bonus points to anyone who gets it before Swinds (without using Google image search ), who I expect will pick it fairly quickly . This plane saw (limited) action during the war, bombing German positions at one point (and, as far as I can see, only one point!)

isn't it the HAWKER HECTOR ?
i'm confused with the HART and hector but i'm sure this is hector ( the engine of the hart and the hind which are all similar being consecutive models, well i think the easiest way to explain is that both the other models have a kind of "pointy" nose ) the whole body of this aircraft looks identical to the HART but but but i am still confused
@Swinds hey buddy I've been having this doubt since a long time is the AUDAX a variant of the hart or is it vice-versa ? the internet seems to be a very bad place for info on
"not-so-famous" aircraft

 

[DiegoVaz]

sorry for the crude art work XD
Guess this one now

Twofold, it was a joke whilst meeting the criteria of the OP.

I believe these are M47 Pattons used in the film.
And in Battle of the Bulge film (1965) they used the M24 Chaffee to represent Shermans. At least they got the size disparity right.

Spot on, nice work . Actually dropped some bombs during the Siege of Calais in 1940, but other than that was on secondary duties.

Hehe. Fans of the anime "Girls und Panzer" should be familiar with that aircraft:

Yes, and it is one of my favorite TV shows of any type, pretty much ever.

Haha, sorry, it's coming, hopefully later today, but currently having new windows installed and the PC is packed up in the corner, and I'm not as confident internetting on the phone. May have found a second bonus obscure plane while looking into the countdown thread as well, will hopefully have a PC to use later today.
