I say that AH2 add the P-61 BLACK WIDOW.It was a fighter/bomber and would be a good addition to AH2 I think.

Did you even read it?
"The Northrop P-61 Black Widow was an American all-metal, twin-engine, twin-boom, monoplane night fighter and night intruder aircraft flown by the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. It was the only Allied purpose-built aircraft to serve as a radar-equipped night fighter."

It said night fighter and night intruder aircraft which means it's a night bomber.

All of our planes in here have GPS radar ;)

BTW, the US has the largest plane set out of any country, I think it's time to give others a turn.

I'd like the A6M3, Ki43(I think that's it... the one armed with 2 .30s?), Yak1, 7, and 3, and the Ju52 and He111.  :)

Does it matter?  :D

flyboy96, you should probably have posted this in the Wishlist forum.  However, there are already 2 P-61 threads in there on the first page, so...  ;)

But still, whatever it's role, the P-61 would be a really nice aircraft to have.

P-61 is rapidly becoming the new B-29 on the forum.
