Cannoned Mustang.  :rolleyes:  Why do you need cannons?  Six .50s on the D hit fine.  Heck, even four .50s hit nice on the B-Pony.  Perhaps try playing with your convergence or even practicing off line on gunnery. If there is another Pony varient to be added it should be the Allison powered A.

That would be a nice addition to AH.

Although I like the A model and would like to see it in the game some day, I myself would prefer the A36. I've never been a fan of only 4 .50 cals especially when you're shooting at Jugs, Yaks and IL2s. I like the idea of the 6 .50s and dive brake of the A36 better. Hopefully both models will be included someday.

The cannon birds wouldn't do anything but add to the bad rep the mustangs already have.

i agree that any Cannon armed mustang should be alsion only which would make a good intruder  fighter . In the same way the RAF used them over France  to attack railways  and  the like.  Guppy sorry got you mixed up with wrong way . very sorry there.

They were designated MkIa by the RAF .
