Top 10 Worst WW2 Aircraft

The list of useless, strange and obselete aircraft of WW2
The Top Ten
1 Me 163 Komet

Dangerous. Often killed it's pilots, too fast to shoot down anything, no landing gear, very limited range, small fuel tanks, very high fuel consumption

2 Lavochkin Gorbunov Goudkov LaGG3

There is a reason this thing earned the nickname "Lacquered Guaranteed Coffin" and "Mortician's Friend".

3 Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka

Kamikaze weapons were never a good idea. Even the launch ship, the G4M Betty, which were very lightly armed.

4 PZL.30 Zubr
5 Blackburn Roc

Based of the Skua dive bomber, which was already obsolete. It was a turret fighter and had no forward facing guns. It had only one confirmed kill. It wasn't at all successful like the partially successful Defiant, the only other turret fighter to enter service.

6 Blackburn Botha
7 Messerschmitt Me 210

The Me-210 was very poorly designed. The engines were underpowered.

8 Breda ba.88 Lince

It was initially designed as a bomber. When it initially flew unarmed, it was exceptionally fast. But as soon as weapons and armour were added, it became hopelessly slow. It became a piece of junk.

9 Douglas TBD Devastator

Rubbish that's it

10 Hairey Battle

Was obsolete before it even entered service, then thrown into service anyway. It initially lacked self ceiling fuel tanks. It was slow, had an embarrassing amount of defensive armament. It was however an exceptional trainer

The Contenders
11 Brewster F2A Buffalo

Come on America!

12 Polikarpov I-16
13 P-51 Mustang
14 Heinkel He 162

The wings and tail were made of wood. Often brought down by structural failures.
