P-61?

[Wyatt134]

i just wanted to see everyones opinions on the P-61 Blackwidow or if it would be out cast as a lame idea for AH in the future eventually

[Ack-Ack]

There is really no role for it in AH other than as another light bomber/attack craft like the A-20.  Kind of defeats its purpose.

Might make for a good buff killer. I mean there some people who love the 410!

Again, it doesn't fit any role in AH that another plane doesn't already fill just as well, if not better.

True but there are many planes that would fall under that category. I think youd have people flying it just for the cool twin tail factor. Not sure how it compares to the 410 or mossie performance wise. I dont think it should be that high on the priorities list.

Id rather see a p63!

+1 for the P-61!

[TWCAxew]

I would fly it!

Love twin engine planes, fly mossies and 110's alot

But if it had its own short ranged radar, would be a nice bloodhound in a hunting pack.

It was underpowered in WWII.  Not until the introduction of the C model did it get on par with other fighters.  It was post-war by the time the C model was introduced.

That would introduce an interesting mechanic, but then you'd have to argue for adding it to ALL fighters that historically equipped radar.

The thing is that we pretty much have that ability in all planes at night with the radar system we have and the ability to see the icons from 6k out at night and with far more accuracy than they had back in the war.  That's why there is no real role for a night fighter currently in this game.

True.

There is also the old CRTs, not the modern ones, to learn.

I believe that people just want a new plane to fly that can cause destruction. Some guy will specialize in this plane and be a big threat in the MA just like; cobia (A20), Ghi (IL-2), and torquilla (410).

This plane is requested every few months, I myself have once started a forum post for it with arguments for it. I hope it will get added someday as it is a cool plane and could have roles in scenario/custom arenas. Perhaps someday
