And the P-51 pic that I posted isn't using rockets, those are ramjets. Theres also a Russian plane in IL-2 called the BI-6 or something like that, that also uses ramjets.

F-82 helped fill a large hole in the USAFs fighter pool at the time.
But the real fun comes when you bolt two Bombers together: |

No matter what plane they pair up, It still looks ridiculous.

It's not about how it looks, though. It filled a role (or a couple of roles) that, during its service time (and during a rather tense times of the early Cold War), no other plane could fulfill. It was the best plane for the job because it was the only plane for the job. And it did that job very, very well.

(Looking at the Heinkels...)
How would they go about simply coordinating between the two craft? I'd assume that they'd have some sort of single control system but knowing management I bet they were like, "No. Both planes will have their crews. It'll work just fine. Trust us." |

Hey, two planes is better than half a plane.

Yeah, Blohm and Voss were better when they stuck to flying boats

Really? I wouldn't think it possible to have a stupider design...

Besides 99.99999999% of those designs never even made it to the windtunnel testing stage, and even if the planes made it to the prototype stage it wouldn't of been possible for mass production due to Germany's lack of resorces and factories to build them in. Even so I still like the look of the Ta 283. Btw this is in IL-2 http://www.luft46.com/heinkel/helerche.html its fun to fly and its stupid fast.

It's "should have".
Other than that, I agree. Some planes are so ugly they're wonderful. I feel the same way about certain ships.
