A brief assessment of the Fieseler Fi 167

The Fi 167 receives a brief negative assessment as an aircraft intended to fill a gap without much enthusiasm behind it.

Question

What is your opinion of the Fieseler Fi 167 torpedo bomber and its unusual appearance?

Short answer

It receives a negative, brief assessment as an unloved attempt to fill a requirement, without a detailed technical comparison.

Notes

The Fi 167 receives a brief, unfavourable judgment as an unloved aircraft built to fill a gap. Its unusual appearance is linked to a similarly negative view of its operational character. Foxo declines to assess an aircraft she does not know, so no detailed technical case supports that judgment here.
