What do you think about this nice plane?
Would it be cool to see this in AH?

Take a look at

Why? Its a nightfighter, and it wouuld get a whipping in the ma. Its useless.

S!

Yep, its a nightfighter...

Would go nicely with the Mosquito VI and Lancaster.

Ya I would love to see it to, The idea of adding a plane that mostly saw action at night is not new and not withought precedent (lancaster,Mossie...ect). The He 219, P 61 were very powerfull aircraft fast manuaverable and deadly, they would add alot to the MA IMO.

The P-61 might be the ultimate "fighter-killer" aircraft in AH, even during the day.

4 foreward-firing Hispanos, and 4 .50's in the turret. OUCH.

This plane would be similar to the A-26 in AW--you could kill it, but it'd take quite a few people with it before it died.

Yep, P-61 is a very nice bird too. OK then, lets change this diskussion to a more general topic:

What about night fighters in AH?

Wilbus · « **Reply #7 on:** November 20, 2001, 03:45:00 AM »

Been asking for the He219 and Me410 for a LONG time now, hoping for atleast one of them in 1.09

JAB, what do you think of 4x 30mm Mk108's or mK103's?

'JAB, what do you think of 4x 30mm Mk108's or mK103's?"

I think they're prefectly fine, as long as they're not pointed at me :-)

Much more lethal against bombers, bout the same as 4 Hispanos against fighters--both gun sets will shred any fighter with a single short burst.

The thing that scares me about the P-61's potential in AH more than the Hienkel is that turret with the 4 .50's--buff turrets with only two such guns are already lethal.

I think your mistaken there jab 1 mk 108 hit will kill any fighter in ah.

3-5 will kill any buff.

hiszookas hit hard but no where near a mk108.......

why does it coat hangers on it's nose???

I'm not mistaken at all; number of shells required to kill a fighter is irrevelant in this case. What matters is the fact that both 4 x hispanos and 4 x Mk 108's will shred any fighter if you connect with even a short burst.

The 108's added lethality over the Hispano will be more useful against bomber aircraft than fighters.

Replaying ot the other post--the "coat hangars" on the Hienkel are for its on-board radar.
