Isn't that more of asking for an additional loadout option for the Fw190A-8 and less asking for a new plane?
Actually not,it was it's own varient :salute

It would see use, though its limited ammo capacity would keep that lower than you might think.
The limited ammo (30 rounds total IIRC?) is still enough to offer lots of kills. And I may be wrong, but I *think* the Gustav version could carry ordnance as well, making it slightly better than the Hurri-2D but just a bit behind the IL-2

In no way does the Me410's performance or capability warrant it being perked.A late fighter version of the Ju88 would be nice.
A small perk, IMO, would be needed because no one would use the 110G otherwise when the 410 could do its job better

There is no He111 on par with the Ki-67.  Other than the Japanese Army's absurdly low bombload requirement the Ki-67 is far superior to the He111. The He111 got slower and slower as the war went on and they added more and more weight.  It was ~80mph slower than the Ki-67 at the end.  The best version of the He111 we could get would be a Battle of Britain era He111 for scenarios.  No He111 ever came close the the Ki-67's speed and I am curious where you got the idea that it did?

I never mentioned speed in my post, it would have a MG-FF equivalent to the KI-67's Ho-5, and sacrifice speed for more bombload. And if HTC decides to add the late war variants which used guided missiles and air launched V-1s, it would definately see huge uses, for fun factor and a special use that no other aircraft possess. (the same way you see guys flying D3A1s into furballs)

The Ju188A is in no way worthy of being perked.  It would be about as survivable, perhaps a bit less, than the Ki-67 but would carry more bombs.  
While it would perform almost the same as the Ju-88C, it had a slightly better defensive armament, which IMO, deserves a *small* perk price, maybe something small like 5.0 for each (15.0 was too much, you're right)

I believe you are conflating two different Me262s.  The version with only two 30mm cannons was a jabo that also carried two 250kg (500kg?) bombs.  The version that carried the R4M was just a slight change on the one we have in AH already and it retained the four 30mm cannons.
Ah, then let's add both versions then.  :aok 2x MK108s for 2x 500KG bombs, or 4x MK108s and 24x R4Ms

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Ahem.

Late war He-111s has the firepower and speed matching that of a Ki-67
The He111's defensive firepower was never as good as the Ki-67s.  An MG/FF is not as good as an Ho-5.  Try the G4M1 out for a bit, it has a Type 99 Model 1 in the tail and that is effectively the same gun in a better position than the He111 would have.


Perking something to make sure something else still gets used is ridiculous.  People will use the Bf110 if they 1) like the Bf110 and 2) want something more agile than the Me410.


Perking the Ju188 and not perking the B-17G would also be absurd.  Once again, that it is better than the Ju88 in no way means it needs to be perked.

Brooke,

Your N1K numbers were for the N1K2.  If you add in the numbers for the N1K1-J you end up at about 1400 for the N1K series.

You're also missing the Ju188.  :p

Thanks for the corrections.  I'll update my list. <S>

I'd love to see the FW190A8/R3.  This varient of the 190 series was the ultimate bomber interceptor. It's armorment comprised of 2 12.7 mg,2 20mm cannons, 2 30mm cannons, and 2 300mm gondolas.  What more could you ask for!!!! :devil :salute :salute

A turn rate that's slightly better than a 747?

Ki-84-I-b (Otsu) pleeeease....it can be added easily in AH!
20mm*4 would be nice for buffs, and it can fly at 660km/h (410mph) at 6000m (19685feet)!

:pray
