Because, of course, the American set is extremely thin.

B25H? A 75mm howitzer in somethings' nose, backed up by 8x .50 cals, makes something a pretty good ground attacker IMO. Better than any other country has, at least.

Much as I want the P-61 (and I truly do), there are a ton of Luftwaffee, Soviet and Japanese aircraft I think need to be added to fill out those nation's plane sets.  Currently, the US has the biggest Heavy, Medium and Light bomber collection, and the largest figher/attack collection.  I love the US plane-set, but we do need planes from other countries.  After the P-39, it would be nice to see things like the HE-111, the MiG-3 or I-16,and a few of those name Japanese fighters (never can remember them).

I am one of the biggest supporters of the P-61, here is my previous wish:  http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,214979.0.html I agree that perhaps the other countries need there sets to be filled.

i agree that the P-61 is lower on the priority list as the american plane set is huge, but would be a great addition anyhow
the japanese/russian/italian need to be filled

Hi Mates

P-61 has large radome in the nose for night fighter role it was created for.  Not good low level fighter bomber.

If we ever get night flying, then Mossie, with radar, would be fun with radar enabled.  If we get night fighting, P61 would be great addition, as would radar eqipped Me210 and maybe a Beaufighter with radar.

Low level fighter bombers A20, Mossie, and 25H along with the 47's and Typhoon a lot of firepower.

Cheers
