Hehe, I realize that numbers produced don't have much bearing on what we get, but nearly 1/3 of F4U-4 puction numbers are cannon armed "B"s...and hey, we all love the cannon-hog....don't we?

Karnak, I was under the impression that the Me-109K6 never made it past the prototype stage. Am I incorrect?

And the F4U-4B? Oh boy   If you think people scream and moan about the F4U-1C, this plane will bring instant panic  

Imagine a -1C that was almost 50mph faster, climbed MUCH faster, and accelerated much better. It would be a true terror.

Karnak, have you been seduced by the dark side?

[Kieren]

Nah, Karnak is trying to make a point.

He wants all the LW dream list to be included. Then he can start a thread about the Spit XIV without the LW pirating it.  

That's correct, isn't it, Karnak?

For you Fishu, from a U.S. Military Source,so you don't think it's just wishful thinking

(The ".mil" means it's a U.S. Military address)

According to this document:
"A four-cannon armament installation was tested on the first prototype. Already modified with an R-2800 engine as an XF6F-3, it was redesignated XF6F-4 when testing the cannon installation. While the four-cannon configuration didn't go into production, a two-cannon, four-gun armament could be fitted to later production F6F's and was carried by many F6F-5N's."

 


Hamish!

[Fishu]

I hear about 'many' (not all) and so on with F6F-5 and also that N.. not a wonder I were wondering in that case  

[Karnak]

Nashwan,
Kieren has it about right.  Almost.

The way I see it now is that the noisiest, most obnoxious group should get their stuff first, including stuff that is better than whatever is added later.  That way they can't b***h about other sides having stuff that is actually almost competitive with what they have.  Eventually I'd like to see the Spitfire MkXIV, as Kieren noted, H8K2 Emily, J2M3 Raiden, Tu-2, S.M.79, Mosquito B.IX, Mosquito FB.VI, Mosquito NF.XXX, F6F, and many others.  But to do this without constant bawling coming from certain, very vocal, members of this board I think the entire Luftwaffe lineup needs to be modeled first.
