I would love to see the J2M's in AH in what ever variant we might get. I still think the J2M didn't quite behave in the dives at 350mph+ like the George. The J2M did have the same number of cannons as the George, but only two of them were the Type 99 Mk2's. To smooth up the airframe they switched the outer cannons back the Type 99 Mk1's. I think the George would be better in the dive and still have better punch. Just those two differences for me would warrant its inclusion in AH, making it different than the George.
Another brick like the A8 and nobody would fly it, except masochists... -C+
The Fw190a8 IRL was more nimble than the rest of the FW A-series .It had the same wingloading , due to a improved slight larger , lighter wing design, among other things.With the GM-1 A8 was an equal in speed to its competitors at low-medium-alt.50% of JG26s Focke-Wulfs where equpped with this booster-system during the fighting in france following the invasion.In AH we have an overweight A8 with no GM-1.
Wow, you guys need help.
As I understand it the guns depend on the version we get. J2M3 has mixed guns like you list and was the most common version. If we got the J2M3a or, better yet, J2M5 in addition to the J2M3 we'd also get one with a uniform armament of four Type 99 Model 2s as well.
There was a small modification starting with the A-6, but the extent was simply reorganizing the outboard gun bay to accept the larger magazines and guns and internal stuff for the later outboard armaments (MG151/20s and Mk108s). It wasn't larger and it wasn't lighter and it wasn't an improvement (not aerodynamically, I mean).Also, the 190A8 never had GM-1, and GM-1 will damage an engine if run below 30,000 feet or so. It's an extreme altitude boost only. You may be thinking of MW50.... However, not many A8s had this installed. Many used the MW50 tank to store regular fuel. This is where the AUX tank in aces high comes into play. That's why the Dora doesn't have an AUX (it's holding MW50 instead).The 190A9 may have had MW50 in small numbers, but overall it wasn't big for the Antons.
It would be great if we got the J2M5 as well. Would be very usefull over Japan in 1945 for the FSO and Scenarios.
Indeed, looks almost like something snatched from a P47 or P38. Maybe it is a copy of an American design? Anybody know?-C+
I hae just found possibly the best source of information and pictures available on the web and maybe in general aswell of the J2M, it is a 17 MB PDF file, and in japanese, but none the less contains some of the most amazing pictures of this plane I have ever seenhttp://www.mediafire.com/?wecbp7ywhznuuymhere is a teaser picture of what this file contains:(Image removed from quote.)
