Why do we need a twin engine plane of any kind?

Everyone knows they suck and are completely worthless.

Why not a P61 Black Widow too? Complete with it's own RADAR?

Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are: You only
need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the
WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

When the RADAR at the base goes down though no more dots show. put up a couple of these to replace it and fill in the gaps. The P61 is the first plane to carry its own RADAR.

You will find, with very slight effort at research, that many, many aircraft, even single engined fighters, carried radar before the P-61 even flew.

While the Beau was flown by all of our Air Forces a special candle is held for it for the RAAF in WW-ll .

This was a great, great airplane that had a hige footprint in the war in many guises. Night fighter, Maritime raider, Torpedoe plane. I say keep up the enthusiasm.

Nice screenshot... Wheredja get it?

I'd like to see the Boof added, but I'd love to be flying a 410.

That's just from Il-2.  Their modders also made the Me 410 flyable.
