Best Looking Plane: Piston Fighters of DCS WW2

[USARStarkey]

vote.

[streakeagle]

I love the clean lines of the P-51, but I had to vote Spitfire. I can't think of a more elegant design.

[Dalminar]

P-38, I hope it is eventually in DCS WW2, even if 5 years from now.

[fastfreddie]

I have to give the big girl a vote. Never thought of the 109s or spitfires as the best looking planes of WWii.

[dooom]

Elegant?? Nah ! Give me the Harley of the sky any day! The 109 looks like it wants to punch you in the face... I love that plane!

[Random]

There is only one correct answer... Spit

[USARStarkey]

I like the looks of the 109, it is very shark like.

[Isegrim]

Where is the P-38 ;)

[westr]

Easy one for me.

[SAM77]

P-38, I hope it is eventually in DCS WW2, even if 5 years from now.

 

 

Me too!!

 

P-38J or L

[SimFreak]

I personally can't wait until 47 gets here....

[Aginor]

Best-looking? Hmm.... Unfortunately the P-38 doesn't exist in DCS, so I would probably say the Spitfire, with the 109 being a close second. Voted spit.

[Mogster]

Has to be the Spifire.

 

109, too angular. P51, never liked the under slung belly radiator. P47, looks like its obese...

 

Unfortunately it seems I can't vote for the Whirly :(

[flare2000x]

Spitfire is the ONLY correct answer here. That's real beauty.

[saburo_cz]

Mustang, of course but I prefer models with Allison engine, XP-51 or P-51A.

[Echo38]

Naturally, the P-38 is the queen of all things beautiful, and always will be.

 

Of the list presented here, I must choose the P-47. A strong and rugged aesthetic, rather than a delicate elegance, it is none the less a wonderful airplane to see and hear.

[Kurfürst]

Its difficult to argue with elegant lines like these:

 

[msalama]

vote.

 

No I won't, because you omitted the Yak-3.

[WinterH]

For me 109 and 51 would tie for the first place, Spit is a pretty close 2nd. 190A and 47 would again tie, for 3rd place.

 

Though, various versions of these aircraft look vastly different from one another, so just saying spit, 109 etc is a bit generalizing ;)

[Mysticpuma]

I voted the P-47....but even in the rain the 51 looks beautiful. I shot this 55th FG "Miss Velma" at Duxford on Sunday :)

[AndyJWest]

Great photo, MysticPuma!

[flare2000x]

Just to add a visual aspect to the most beautiful plane of all time:

 

[USARStarkey]

I would love to have a P-38. I might even have voted for that if it was official. Hopefully the rumors are true and leatherneck makes one.

[Art-J]

Should we count in the planes worked on by VEAO team? After all they're warbirds made for DCS too, aren't they? If yes, I'd vote for their Spit XIV (I don't like Merlin powered versions), If not, I'll have to stick with Mustang.

 

Allright, voting for the Spit XIV, which nobody haven't seen WIP shots of, might seem a bit far fetched, but judging from VEAO's shots of very good external models of Bearcat and Warhawk I'd say these guys know what they're doing with 3D design software and upcoming Spit should not be an exception.

[Berndt Mangler]

OK, John Travolta has a P51, that makes it Cool. And the P51 makes Tom Cruse Look Cool... a little.....Top Gun helped...a little... The P51 just has something about it. History I suppose, not too far from the Spit.

 

The P47 was my next choice it has that Arnold look about it, the John Wayne, Chuck Noris of air craft. and I'm bias, I'm an A10'er

 

Then the Spitfire. It's like the Dos Equis Guy, If others just looked like it, They'd be interesting. Its been there, Done it, and came back...
