Would seem.most of the groundwork is in game already, Basically just glue some dive brakes on a Bravo Pony. :)

+1 But after the Beaufighter :old:

Well the Apache had four of its machine guns in the nose and was essentially a P-51A model that had dive brakes and a little but more armor added to it, I definitely think that both the Apache and the Beaufighter would be great additions to the game.  :rock

Yeah that would be even better! Just to balance don't give it tons of ammo, but so much to were you can't do anything. :banana:

Hitech needs something for the future to add into the game after AH3 and the new terrain engine.

It would be a good strategy to have a future track for filling in the stables over the next 3 years to keep the air fans quiet. It's obvious if Hitech doesn't retire, FPS squad action on the ground will become a development focus. Consider Waffle's brain storming session over the new Large airfield object and it's future implications.

Can you not see Hitech finishing the Pony family stable?

The A-36 and P-51A would both be good additions to AH.

You are aware that the A-36, P-51 and P-51A all had Allison engines whereas the P-51B (and P-51C, P-51D, P-51H and P-51K) all had Merlin engines, yes?

Does anyone know why the lower nose guns were removed from the 36/ 51? The only things I can find just say they were removed.

Actually no 51A version is needed only difference is the motor between it and the 51B ......

P-51 and A36 nets us 3 count them 3 planes for the price of 2.. and have better armament options than the 51A  :aok   I do think the 51A is cool tho.
