Other than being shot down in droves, whats a P-61 supposed to do in a daylight Main Arena?

...you want to know how long it would last in a dogfight? up an A-20G lite, and there you go. Not long. You will find that "looking cool" doesn't stop the shells from blowing it in half.  

If we had real night in Aces High, and no radar, and AI radar on night fighters (only), were modelled...and, thats a lot of "if's"...it would be of some use...

I like the P-61, but its useless in a daylight setup. It could vulch bases I guess? with help, but so can a B-25H, doesn't make it a fighter.

It can be added to the "B-29 with n00ks" category untill we get real night in AH.

I guess four 20mm M-2 Cannon in belly, fixed forward.
plus electric dorsal turret with four .50 machine guns, remotely controlled.
(in first 37 A's, last 250 B's and all C's)
Plus (B & C Only) and Wing racks for 6,400 lb. ordnance load make it close to an A20.  As for the whole "night fighter" thing, I guess we better get rid of that pretty black 110 skin too then.

...well, holy crap, forget what I said, it would be awesome in the MA, a turret with some 50s, wow. :confused:

I hope we do get another Sherman or even a Comet.  I could then do something I been trying to plan for a scenario.

OMG I have seen the light Warloc.  Thank you, thank you very much for showing me the errors in my ways.  Lets add another plane with 2 .303s per turret.  I'm sure HTC will contact you directly for the next choice.:aok

He111 would be good help round out the Axis bomber set, if not I would like the Beaufighter Dap mk21 Australian made & designed it has 50's instead of the standard 303's in the wings.

I would think with 18 airplanes and soon to be 4 vehicles, the German side has a rather large representation itself.

Bulk of the users are American I'd guess.

I can see where everyone would like to see other planes of the war to though.

:huh   But but...it's not "American" Aces High...  The good guys have to have someone to triumph over.




Though I'd like to see the 410, the Japanese planeset is abysmal.  Hopefully they'll get some love next  *cough* Raiden.  Could always add another Italian, or even a Frenchie (Dewoitine) just for kicks and grins.

The German side has the 2nd largest plane selection in the game, with the British coming in at 3rd.  Care to say again that the German side is under represented in AH?
