my sweet love!!!

fw190F8 modified to carry a X-4 air to air missile

Will it be modelled in Aces High?

Actually it's an A-8.

As for the X-4 being in AH, I beleive it should, about 600 airframes were built but their BMW engines were never delivered because of the destruction of the BMW factory that was building them.

It is beleived that some X-4s were used against Allied bombers during test flights.

If P51H, F8F, F7F etc comes into AH LW should get X-4 to even up the gap between allied aircraft that never saw combat and the LW aircraft/weapons that never saw combat either.

A8 were the testbeds for X-4 missiles. But I know that F8 had that capability too, so I said F8. Anyway is impossible to difference an A8 from a F8 in that shot

And it was intended to be a "subliminar" claim for a x-4 in AH

Aye, but the chances of an X-4 being mounted on a ground attack aircraft would be slim. X-4s would have been mounted on the Dora series, Ta 152, Me 262 and later on the Ta 183.

Hell, even a Storch had X-4 capability... if they wanted it to.

p.s. The X-4 was an air-to-air missle not air-to-ground, ram.

hehehe, Nath, as you see, I know it

was a wire guided AA anti buff missile.

The F8 was able to carry it, and may have used it during the tests, who knows?

Plus dont forget R4Ms for the Dora, true it was rare and only towards the end but so were chogs. BTW X-4 did kill US bombers in test combat missions, so there is no reason it shouldnt be some sort of Fantasy WW2 perk like P51H or Bearcat.
