Yay, Dan showed up.  I was getting lonely in here, advocating historical based modeling.

with the F6F-5 they could add optional gun package of 4x.50calM2 and 2x20mm. some-5 and 5N(night fighters had that package) and add the P47M..top speed was around 470mph...never got to chase V-1 as intended but, it had success agsinst both the 262 and 234. carried only 6x50.cal ..

No again.  For the same reason as no to the four 20mm on the Spit.  Something that was rare in reality would be used predominately in the game.  As to the P-47M, like the Spitfire XII, it was used in extremely low numbers.  Numbers that make the C.205 look common and the N1K2-J plentiful.

Karnak makes a very good point.

However, d'ya think it might ever be possible to specifiy different gun loadouts as mentioned at the cost of perk points?

That would prevent the overuse of 4x20mm spits all the time......

I'll take a razorback Jug with a paddle blade prop instead of the M. They were not rare, they were the majority and better performing than all the D's that we currently have.

Now hold the phone just a minute Karnak :)

We have a Ta 152 that saw far less combat then the XII. The XII was on Ops from February 43-September 44 and did a lot more damage and had a far greater impact.   Lets not write off a Spit XII fanatic's dreams so quickly:furious

You could send us a link instead.. try photobucketing it.

Also, the Spitfire we have is one of the earliest Mk.V's ever built. We're not getting some buffed up Spitfire any time soon.
