Cancer Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Pen. I'm an INT build, not a DEX build. In fact, I'm pretty much an anti-DEX build. I really need a lethal weapon, well, that's what ranged WMDs are for. Dive bombers: JU-87 Stuka, or Douglas SBD Dauntless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 The Dauntless had better range, speed, and payload. But the Stuka terrorized Europe like no other aircraft before or since. Dive bombers: Sky dive or scuba dive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Shadow Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) That's a tough one. I love the P-38, but the Mosquito came along at just the right time and was so incredibly versatile. Fighter, light bomber, recon plane, light transport the Mosquito could do it all. Edit: Oops too slow. So I'll answer this one: P-61, just cause I've always liked it.

Asperion Posted July 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Much as I love the fishneted one Dr. Strange is sorcerer supreme with a fantastic origin story Percy Jackson vs Harry Potter Potter had the power of the entire school backing him up (both book and movie) while Jackson was a demigod and had had the collective power of the demigod camp to use. This camp told him to go on a mission and not take advantage of its power and abilities (it even denied them), as a result the winner would have to be Percy Jackson. Now lets see who's funnier: Sgt. Bilko or Gomer Pyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
