If the FW190F-8 gets torpedos, I'd like to see the P-38 have that same option too as well as the option to carry 3 1k bombs.

The six 20mm Griffon Spit was only a mockup, it didn't have actual cannons in it. I have the photo in a book as well.

EDIT: Got a picture of that spit? That'd be kinda cool to see.

Should be noted it was only a cannon mock up. (looks evil though)

DP845 Prototype Griffon Spitfire Mk IV

There were also a handful of RAAF Mk VIIIs with 4 x 20mm also.

Problem is going to be exactly the same as the clipped wing argument - 4 x 20mm Spits existed, just how many is unknown.
Yes there was a problem with the Mk IX and heating for the outer pair, probably why most fitted with quad 20mms are found on older Mk V's in warmer climates.

[edit] This of course does not include the F.21 (if we ever get it), ALL of which had 4 x 20mm fitted as standard, in a re-designed wing.

That'd make any bomber crap a brick, for sure! (More reason why I want the 190 with 6x MG151/20s!!)

is that real? if so did not know that... only know the 190F8 carried torpedoes, in multiple sources of books i have and on the net.

While the 190 did carry the SC1800 (to bomb a bridge in 1945 after the allies took it) I don't think they ever used the torpedo in combat -- it was being tested but not really used, I believe.

Fw 190F-8/U2 - torpedo plane with two underwing ETC 503 racks or under-fuselage mounted ETC 504 (previously ETC 501) bomb rack. The plane was equipped with a special sight system, TSA 2A (Tiefsturzangle 2A) for precise aerial torpedo BT (Bombentorpedo) aiming. Using this torpedo it was possible to attack targets from a higher altitude and from a higher angle than in the case of an ordinary aerial torpedo LT (Lufttorpedo). It was planned to use two BT 400 or one BT 700 torpedo. Other armament was reduced to two fuselage mounted MG 131 machine guns. A small number of these planes were in service with 11./KG200.

though I believe i have seen it other places also, and have a book with a picture of 1 loaded.

Well, we won't get torps or SC1800s on 190s then. Both stripped the plane down including weapons (SC1800 plane had none, I believe). It would be an entirely new variant in the planelist, and I can't see that happening just for a torpedo or a huge bomb.

Now, the SC1000.... THAT would be nice to see as a perk option (2.2k bomb! DIE tigers, DIE!)

Rather see the 38 with Napalm tanks.

I doubt that'll help, Krusty. You could drop a Lanc's worth of those suckers and bull's-eye the Tiger with every one, and he'll STILL drive off.

How about they fix bomb effects on GVs, first? (dropped a 1000-pounder in the TURRET of an Osti last week and watched him drive away. I didn't even get an assist for him when he finally died).

Just use the rockets on the 190F8...they can kill tigers with 1 shot.

Prolly invisible wall. Last time I was in a pzr shooting at another tank, and my shells were exploding in mid air ! His shells came exactly the same way without any problem. I guess the low life armorers back at the base gave us AA shell.
