Historical? There were allison mustangs with out hizookas, would that not be "historical"?.

I hope we get the a36.

Why do a Allison engined Mustang Mk.I with 2 x .50s and 4 x .303s when you can have a Mustang Mk.IA with 4 x 20mm?  The speed should be similar to that of a P40B/D so it's not going to be that fast!

You Luftweenies really need to get a life, if you had a choice of a German plane with MGs or Canon which would you choose?  Don't tell me.... the same reason why you don't like the Ju88 cos it's slower or has less guns than other Ju88s.  If you get the chance, you request the best of what's on offer, no?

Hizooka dweeb?  Yeah, in AH1 definitely, the Typhoon!  

If you have a problem with the hizooka then don't whine at me, whine to HTC with proof that it's overmodelled!

Wotan, if you want a tissue then go to your local shop!! :)  I fly planes from any country, but you're so obsessed with German planes why do I bother?!

I never hear you complain when I ask for a He177, or a He162, or Ju188, or a Do217.... oh yeah, that's because it's a German plane and not allied!  Damn, should have remembered, only allowed to request German planes!!!! :)

If it was a German plane being talked about, I'd want the best too!  You're too self-centred!

Flyboy,

The Malcolm hood looks similar to the canopy used on most Spitfires.  See my post above with the 3 images.  The 3rd aircraft (with "The Deacon" emblem) has a Malcolm hood.

You brought up "historical". I would think HT at some point has to consider modelling planes for AH2:ToD. IMHO an a36 would be better but its not my call. A36's raining bombs down on Pantelleria seems much more "historical" then a hizooka ho machine flying in circles in the main.

I don't fly Ju88s and I don't care what variant they add or have in AH. But if I had any input as to what type ju88 should be added I would suggest the most common variant; the A-4 (which we have). Not the one that I would think would be the most uber....

The typh is one of the top suicide planes. Ho and auger or pork and auger take your pick.

Save the tissues for self, you are the one crying for more hizookas. I would hate to see your tears if they don't add one.

Who is it you think you are replying to?

 I don't fly bombers and don't care if more are added to the game or not, be they German or whatever.

I wouldn't ask for any of those planes. If I had to make a suggestion along those lines then I would suggest an he-111, a Ju-88 A-1, Do-17z etc... Planes that can fill wholes for AH2:ToD and for events.

There is no hiding my bias'. I fly the F4 G2 and mostly the G6. I fly with 1 mg151.

 I don't care what anyone flies. I don't care about any wunderwaffe planes or any allied super plane. I do think planes like the typh and p51d are garbage planes and complete waste of space in the game based on how most are flown. (there are of course exceptions)

I don't care about flying the "best", I fly what I like. If Pyro asked what 109 would I would want tomorrow I would say a 109G-14 please or bar that a 109F-2. Hardly the "bestest" or even the "bestest armed". I have said that I would be fine if both the G-10/K-4 and d9 were perked. The mere talk about perking your typh had you contacting pyro to cut umm off at the pass...

I would like the A-36 or the P-51A. Either would be a nice addition, especially for scenarios. As for the P-51/Mustang Mk.Ia (with quad Hispanos), I suspect it would be over-used, thus resulting in being perked. I have no doubts that the P-51A would more than hold its own in the MA. It's not a great deal slower than the P-51B on the deck (about 340 mph), and should pull 390 mph up at 20,000 feet. Maneuverability should be better than the P-51B, which is no slouch.

Did you guys know that the original XP-51B was converted from one of the Hispano Mustangs? Of course, the AAF specified four .50s and the Hispanos were history. Would make for an interesting "what if" though.

My regards,

Re: Hispanos.

It seems to me that my Hispanos don't kill as quickly in AH2 as the did in AH1.  In AH1 a brief crossing shot tended to disintegrate my target unless it was a bomber.  In AH2 I have had quite a few aircraft survive such shots.

I very much doubt it would be overused or perked, wouldn't it be similar to the Hurricane IIC?

" wouldn't it be similar to the Hurricane IIC?"

 Yeah ;)   If you removed the spark from 4 of it's 12 Allison cylinders maybe ;)


 The Mustang Mk.Ia  (with 4 hizookas( would excell at low altitude aircombat.  Right where most of the combat in the MA is found.
 Fast, brutally armed and more than maneuverable enough to take on the 109/190...  The whines would deafen a brass monkey.



ooops. Just saw Wotan had this covered prety much with

"hizooka ho machine flying in circles in the main"

Well if I thought I was going to upset so many people just by asking for a plane I think I'll ask for a Sopwith Camel next time! :)
