I wonder if it would be competitive in our daylight environment. Another thing is we have very good radar in the game, radar that works while we are in flight, negating the adv that this plane had in real life.

I'm not against it but I think filling out the Italian and Japanese plane sets would have greater impact on the game.
Yeah, that's right, you just got your rear handed to you by a fuggly puppet!

I would most certainly like to see the P61 in game. But for right now, I would personally like to see either some updates to old plane models, or some more Japanese and Russian birds.

 But the others are right, they should add more planes FIRST from italy, russia, japan, etc. I do REALLY want to see this one in game eventually, I posted some thaughts on it and a training video from the bird's time.

It'd be cool but I'd like to see the axis plane set filled out a little more before we add another Allied bird.  Japanese, German, Italian, don't really care or have a particular wish other than some German bombers.  So thumbs sideways for the moment.

Again as usual, there is not a criteria for time of day for planes to be added.

For you anti American plane type, how about P-61 with He-111 package deal.  :D

This particular Yank would prefer the Beaufighter He111 package thank you :)

Aces High needs more of the basics before an exotic night-fighter.  Some flight sim enthusiasts laugh when they see that AH doesn't have an He-111, Ki-43, or Lagg or Yak-3.

They're going to laugh even harder when they see the B-29.  Don't cause them to asphyxiate with a P-61.

Why do we have 2 threads by the same guy on the same topic on top of a wishlist forum?

I say lock 'em both.

I can think of 30 aircraft that saw far more action and made a much larger imprint on WWII than the P61. Even the A26 ranks higher on the "add" list than that thin.  My opinion, of course.  :)

only way i can see the p-61 having a defining role in aceshigh is possable mobile radar?could be cool to bring one along on a mission to capture a base. as long as its flying it's "radar" can mark enemy cons on the map like reguler radar does.

could also be used as a possable cv finder maybe?
