IAR 80 and IAR 81
« on: July 01, 2012, 04:28:30 PM »
Can we have the IAR 80 and 81 put near the top of the priority list?

The IAR 80 was a fighter, and the 81 was a 'dive bomber' based on the IAR 80, although the only difference were provisions to mount a 225kg bomb under the fuselage.


I propose we add the:

IAR 80A (81): armed with 6 7.62mm FN machine guns (license built browning .30 cals) with 500rpg, and was able to reach a top speed of 337mph.

IAR 80B (81A): Had a pair of 13.2mm FN machine guns added in a lengthened wing.

IAR 81C (80M): Upgunning with a pair of MG 151's in the wings, totaling 2 MG 151's and 4 7.62mm FN machine guns. Top listed speed is 347mph.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.
