It would be like the often used JU-87 we have now that every one wanted, and would live only a a wee bit longer in the MA.

Would be kinda like an A-20, no real advantage as we all have radar in the air craft now.

Would be a great buff buster though 4 20's and 4 .50's sure would hit hard but then the 110 does that now.

Black widow almost did me in, no thank you.

No, we wanted the JU87G with the big cannons and the siren.  What we got was a JU87 with peashooters and no siren.

P-61 would actually be a heck of a turnfighter, believe it or not.  For destroying bombers or b&z it would be viable.  I'd rather have an A-26 though.

If it gave the player flying the P-61 dot dar for a certain range even when the HQ is down or in areas outside a base's radar service area, it might be useful.  It might end up being used by players as an AWACS.

The Ju87G did not have a siren, the dive flaps were removed. All it could do was make about 7 passes on tanks, then rtb.


The model everyone wanted was a late D model, that had 20mm cannons in the wings instead of the 7.92s, although there still were no dive brakes (except the first production series) and had no siren.
