I voted for the Bf-109G Gustav, because it was the Romanian fighter that shot a Mustang!

Your poll is to simple ( like you put it). Is like what car is best Mercedes or Dacia.

Of course the most advanced fighter in romanian service was the Bf 109 G no doubt. And was the one who shot Mustangs.
But the fighter with the most numbers of heavy bombers shot down was IAR 80-81 . The fighter with the best ratio combat loss/ victories was Hurricane and so on.

I thought read I some where that it was close 70 claimed victories! anyway 30 to 1 is an excellent ratio by any standard! smile.gif And don't forget what Horia Agarici did in his Hurricane!

I intended to say don't forget what Horia Agarici did his Hurricane! Taking off in his battle damaged Hurricane and downing 3 Russian bombers and damaging several others!

i subscribe to what cantacuzino said. For sure, you establish the best airplane in an airforce by the loss/victories ratio. For USAAF, the worst fighter was Buffalo, but for Finish Air Force, was the best wink.gif. In our case, altough we used more technically advanced Emil's and Gustav's, the best used was Hurricane. cool.gif

For a clearer picture, one must count the amount of overclaiming, which was the highest in the 1941 campaign - including for the Hurricane-equipped Esc. 53 vân.
