YES!!!!  the quad .30 cal MG's in the tail with boat loads of ammo will be BETTER than the lightly fed dual .50 MG's we have now.  I've wanted this version ever since I've started playing AH in Jan of '08.  Woo Hoo!!!   :)

This is great news!  I hope to see a few more updates or another plane or two before the next version.   :pray   :D

The modeling of aircraft gets better and better each time; the Lancaster looks beautiful.

You do realize they went to the 50 Cals for a reason right?  Be careful what you wish for  :)

Very nice.  As one of the most used aircraft this update is long due.

Nice to see the quad .303s in the tail.  As I recall it had 2000 rounds per gun for that configuration.

I do hope the dual .50s are still an option for those who prefer it.

109E and C.2
C.20x, yes, absolutely. Bf109E, no.  It is already at 2.0 standard and while the older 2.0 models are looking long in the teeth, they are all still far better looking than the remaining 1.0 models.  I will accept the Bf109E fans word thay the 3D model is poor. The Spitfire Mk I, Mk V and Seafire all have the wrong shaped nose as well.
