Yes 8x20mm Me410 pleaseyesgood!  Crew Chief, please remove the MGs from my 109K4.  They are dead weight.

Honestly as much as some of those mods were great leaps forward in effectiveness, I don't want this to turn into 'Pimp my Plane'.  As much as it hurts, I think it's a better fit better for the game to stick with standard plane setups rather than allowing too much customization.

agreed.

I'm a dedicated P38 junkie and have read about some of the Field Mod loadouts the Lightnings had. And some of them would be a lot of fun.
(if HTC ever allowed the L it's 2x 2000lb package, we never hear the end of the "B-38" whines.)

Can you imagine what the purse fights on CH 200 would be like ?
"you only beat me because your plane has a Field Mod."
"(insert usual retort)"
etc.

. . . . . and should I dare mention . . . . . perk farming      :rofl

I would vote no on this one   :old:

I'd +1 this IF when you lose the plane you lose the field mods (and the perkies that paid for them).  Give's people a reason to bring the ride back.

Then there is the high octane fuel for the Allied planes.  Kind of a field mod.

Should we add gyro gunsight and G-suits too for allied pilots too?
