Were there any FOUR or THREE engined fighter planes in WWII, to anyone's knowledge?
I know there were many twos.

I think those are considered bombers, not fighters, or atleast thats what I think the TC's asking for.

Those planes can't carry any bombs, they carry a lot of .50 cal ammo. Maybe those planes aren't considered fighters, but they aren't bombers neither, perhaps we should call them gunships or even flying battleship.![]()

Think you should checkout this website:

for likely 3-4 engined fighters, such as the
Blohm& Voss P170.01

Precisely roast, IIRC they were meant for use to attack airfields, I could be wrong however.
The YB-40 was based on the Flying Fortress bomber, but adapted to be a fighter. They were meant to accompany bomber steams, in order to provide more firepower to deal with enemy fighters. Aerial combat was their intended purpose.
They weren't successful, for various reasons, but that's a different matter...
