P-61 Widowmaker
« on: December 20, 2010, 08:28:51 PM »
What about adding this to the arsenal?

Great plane, combat record to verify and I bet well received in AH. With this we could create a special night operations arena with rudimentary radar, searchlights, visual down to 1000k, etc.

I bet the combo would be a big hit. What do others think?

Gentlemen, I would like to point out the meaning behind "beating a dead horse."

Beautiful plane, awesome night fighter, would be a wonderful addition to the game. But ultimately, we don't need a night fighter yet, let alone an American one. We need more axis aircraft. (As they are starting to grow on me) :D

P.S. Maybe this will be added when HTC adds nighttime again...  :noid

So? The widowmaker was a nightfighter through and through. If you wanted to make a weak case for it, you could say "we already have two night bombers." The widowmaker was a nightfighter and was used solely as such. And two planes out of 100+ isn't a very good defense. If you can tell me any more (specifically for night fighting, not just with the skins to do so), then you can do so.

we do have 1 nightfighter(no radar or anything) the mossie6 was used as a basic nightfighter, so I think we can safely put this into play AFTER we get more axis aircraft
