A-36 Apache

[Soulyss]

Yep, can see them a little more clearly here.

I think they were hard to get to and clean/rearm/maintain.

Interesting side note: The first series ("Serie 0") of G.55 also had 2 guns UNDER the nose. Along with 2 guns on top of the nose it had 4x 12.7mm MGs all synchronized through the prop (plus a 20mm firing through the hub). These were also ditched in favor of wing guns because of access problems. Only difference is the G.55 Serie 1 went with 20mm instead of .50cal when they made the move

A-36 would be a nice addition to AH.  Get us something earlier in the Mustang family, with an Allison engine.

I also like that this isn't a request for you know what kinds of guns disguised as a request for an Allison Mustang.

This???   (Image removed from quote.)   or do I have the wrong Apache?

No...

This!    Or do I have the wrong A36?

[Guppy35]

Early Allison Mustang with MGs or the A36 would be nice.  They both cover MTO, CBI and the Allison 51 with the MGs covers ETO as well.

The Germans called the A-36 the invader. It was used in the North African campaign.

Sorry fixed. (in quotes)

I was talking about the A model.

This one with the big guns in the wings looks interesting. 











What about that one.

Isn't that a P-51?

Think thats a Pony MKI

Think thats a Pony MKI 

mk1-a...the mk1 had 2-.30 cals and 4-.50 cals

The picture I've seen of them had bulging .50 cals.


So would you guys say +1?

Might as well just take a P-51B (4x50's and 2 500 Lb bombs).  It really isn't so much of a difference that I would put the A-36 ahead of many other needed rides.

I was just flying that today. But, how about for scenario play? Also, more gunload and divebombing accuracy.

The extra couple of nose mounted guns are an oddity for sure.  Dive bombing accuracy between a A-36 and a P-51B in AH I would expect would be exactly the same though.  It is an interesting find, but I can't say that I want this ride more than I want a Fiat G.55, or the Re.2005, or the Me-410.  We are kind of heavy on the American rides, and I'd like to see a bit more Axis iron in the game first.

I agree with the Axis iron. But, how about the A-36 we don't have any divebombers that can strafe. Also, It is faster than most divebombers in the game.
