I agree that AH is rather limited in Japanese plans as well as Italian planes. There are many Japanese planes missing from the plane set, some of which had very high production numbers.
Yeah, that's right, you just got your rear handed to you by a fuggly puppet!

I THINK SO

PS FIX  THE BETTTY!!!


What is wrong with the Betty?  It was notorious for being easy to catch on fire in real life.

Would like to see the Emily as well and then maybe the PBY and have them enabled at ports. As for night fighters, I say no unless they come with working onboard radars, but really many other sims model these, so why not AH? the WW2 radar sets were not very sophisticated anyways and even in daylight ops a night fighter can get a BVR fix on a con and at least get an alt approximation of up to say 5 miles or so? through cloud. Might be usefull sometimes...even without "night".

Sounds good in theory, but I don't think practical (as opposed to theoretical) range was that great.  Some actual combat accounts would be interesting.  Here's a link for what appear to be theoretical ranges: http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USN/ref/NightFighterRadars/index.html  

On the topic of the OP, I would be interested in the Emily at ports.

 :aok I like the P-61B and i wish that there was better night fighting but thats probably not going to happen so having the plane would be nice.

Thats actually @ 9 1/2 miles or so.

Its not far but I would still like them with working radars.
