ju88c6 is worth adding, ar234 needs tail 20mm

[Citabria]

lets face it ju88a4 is a beautiful model and aircraft that almost never gets used because it has no firepower in its guns.

with a zorsterer version of the ju88 this wonderful aircraft will be seen in the cannon filled skies of Aces High in all kinds of jabo and fighter bomber missions.

and with 20mm nose guns it has a way to fight back.

ar234 needs its 20mm tail guns severly now that the me262 is added.

How would HTC model the firing system on the Ar234? Its not a turret, the 2 20mms were fired by the periscope on top of the cockpit which is there in the 3d model.
For a Ju88 zerstroer version the nose would have to be filled and not be used as level bomber, could dive bomb tough.

Ju88C6 has to be a no brainer addition to AH. Everything is done except the new nose!

The Ar234 should model a simple scope that just has a reverse gunsight. If you want to use the scope there should be a button to press like you use when aiming bombs.

S!

Better to add the JU88G7b Nightfighter and make the Huns very happy.

Specs:

Max. Speed at S.L.  270mph

Max. Speed at 29,855 with MW-50:  402mph

Armament:

4 fixed firing 20mm MG151 in nose.

2 fixed upward firing 20mm in "Shrage Muzik" position.

1 13mm MG131 in rear flexible mounting.

When they add this plane, then they can bring in onplane radar and nightfighter contact rules.  Basically that should be the same as daytime radar dots, but only available to NF's at night.

While Im not sure how to impliment the Arado rear gun, Im dubious of its impact anyway.  The Arado is a very rare bird in the MA now because it doesnt have any impact.  Theres just not much use for a high speed bomber that carries half (or less) the payload of 3/4 of the attack FIGHTERS.

At its current price, its just not worth it.  Ive never been shot down in an arado, and Ive flown 10 or so missions in it, but I really only use it on a lark, and not for any particular tactical/fun reason.  The actual aircraft carried about 3000 lbs of bombs (roughly based on metric conversion).  Now I know the AH version carries 3x500, but all bombers seem to have an adjusted payload, and this is what neuters the arado.  1500 lbs of boms isnt enough to destroy a hanger, and its limitation of 3 bombs means its not useful for de-acking ect.

Its a neat plane, just not a very MA type of ride.  Now with the 262 in the MA, the arado is little more than a death trap.

500kg= 1103lbs.   taking out a hanger is a real no brainer in the arado.

How to implement rear gun in the Arado?
Just hit "2" and you get the periskop sight.
   
View through periscope RF2C on Me110

Fan-bloody-tastic.

i want this aircraft

2late4u...the loadout options for the Arado in AH are in kg.  It's got plenty of ordinance to take out one hangar.
