Nah, it would have to be the Mk.21, it had 4 x 20mm and 4 x .50s (instead of 6 x .303s).

Yes they did.

Heikel He177 Greif. 13,200 lbs ord. 3,107 mile range. (early mods had engine probs.) Service delivery March 1942, about 700 served on the eastern front.

Junkers Ju288. 11,023 lbs ord. 2,237 mile range. 416 mph top speed! Only 22 were finished but saw service in 1944.

Unfortunately for the Germans (and fortunately for the allies) the impressive bomber-B programme was cancelled in 1944 as Germany needed fighters not bombers. Planes like the He274, He277 and others were completed, flown and operated by the French and Soviets after the war.

In short fill out the plane set for each country. Japanese & russians need the most work, Germany needs a good long range hvy bomber. (I know I know, they didn't make one)

If I remember the count correctly, the Italian planeset is the most under represented out of the bunch. But the Japanese and Russian planesets definatly need work too. That German long range buff would be appreciated by many also I'm sure.

1. Nakajima Ki-84
2. Brewster Buffalo
3. Reggianne Re-2005
4. Polikarpov I-16
5. Heinkel He111
6. Dewoitine D.520
7. B-25H Mitchell (Fifth AF solid nose)

P-39 and P-40N would be cool too.

TF.X had 4x 20mm in the nose and six .303's in the wings which could be removed for more fuel tanks in the wings. The Mk.21 didnt have the 4 x20's in nose only in the wings:)

HTC should annouce once a week a new plane that will come to us with AH2. That should keep the community excited and interested.

The one I've seen of a Mk21 had 4 x 20mm in nose and the 4 x .50s in the wings. It's the Australian built version of the TF.X - only main difference was the .50s replacing the .303s.
