As the link posted earlier states,

Armament returned to six machine guns with 1880 total rounds, although alternative installations of four guns with 1600 total rounds could be fitted.

Not True

It isn't true. Your mostly right, but they did save some old WW2 B26s from the scrap heap and used them. You are mostly right because the Americans did it for only a very short part of the beginning of Korea. I saw it in a magazine (Flight Journal) and it said how it raided the convoys and trains in Korea.

I wish to add British Corsair II or IV. It should be easy and fast. Cutted wing,diffierent propeller,better max speed,and roll.But loose some climb rate. British Corsair also easier to land than US F4U-1 series.

I think we need to concentrate on small niche aircraft to the detriment
of all widely used aircraft. Nothing else will stop the incessant wailing and
gnashing of teeth of the various fanboy posters around here:D

Outside of the 8 inches off each wing, I'd suggest you go check your facts again on RN Corsairs.

we need Ze Me-262-a2 with 24x R4M and 2x 250k bombs. give it some more fire power than 4x Mk108. even though i think that's ok... but i want more,more , and more

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Holy-Night-of-the-Living-Dead-Threads, Batman!


I look for planes that add to the fun, not so much their "importance in the war".  As the majority also play in LW arena, I look there more.

A-26B Invader (solid nose) Block 50's- perk worthy attack bomber (need perk bomber other than Arado)
A-26C Invader (glass nosed w Norden bombsite) Block 50's - perk worthy level bomber - only change from B is the nose (guns and bombsite), otherwise identical planes.
German 88mm FlaK36 towed artillery - player manned ack to 35K altitude, indirect artillery, long range direct fire.  Probably a light perk.
Judy for blue water fliers and CV ops.  Good dive bombers and Japanese plane addition.
G.55 light perked interceptor and best of the Italian planes and a treat for some Luffenwobble pilots.  Good bomber interceptor with nice cannon loadout.
Stuka JU 87G (refitted D model) version with the twin 37mm BK FlaK18 tank killing cannons.
P-39D/P-39Q/P-400 Airacobra - Soviet model, lend lease in the Soviet plane set. Mid-frame-engine mounted fighter.
Pe-2 Peshka to give the Russians a bomber. Il-2 and Pe-2 working together with La-5's and Yaks for cover would make for a great Eastern Front SEA event.
Ki-84-Ic (Mark Ic) - Lightly perked. Version against Bombers, with two cannons Ho-5 (20 mm) and Ho-105 (30 mm) in wings.
He-177 Greif only German Heavy bomber produced in numbers. Nice altitude, bomb payload, speed. Just normal ord, no guided rockets or bombs.
Yak-3 Short legs but possibly a very fun dogfighter. Considered one of the best at the time.

Actually Dan, from what I understand it was only 4 inches per wing for RN carrier's elevator clearance.

I much prefer Ki-84-Ib's 4*20mm,balance ammo loadout and bullet characteristic.And it's really deploy in some sentai.

P40N, the last P40 version.

G.55 also good.:aok
