no

1. minor use in battle
2. no onboard radar in AH1 and AH2
3. Bigger and move worse then b25


why do you need one more mossie, a20 and 110?

why couldnt you use it during the day? Eliminate the radar part and it could be used like any other JABO in the MA , its black so itd prob be easy to see but doesnt make much difference could still be used, id like to see it add sometime.

p-61 is not made to drive and drop......
maddog of course it is possible like it is possible fly in MA with a D3A Val, for exemple, but  it was introduced to work in scenario, use it in MA sometime is funny becouse it is crazy, u are a dead-Bird. infact tell me how many D3A Val do u see in MA?
i made this example to say that all is possible
:rolleyes: but if it will be usefull in some ARENA
..r me a p-61 in AH have no sense:
it is not a bomber
and it is not a jabo
it 's only damned speedy and very well armed,
designed to be able to operate at higher altitude but without the nite and a dar is not usefull


:cool:

A20, Mossie and 110 are great planes, they just don't fly 500mph so they don't get that much use.

Frankly, I don't want to see a single piece of new US iron in AH until the dismal state of affairs for the IJ planes is fixed. Maybe even add to the Italian's Regio Aeronautica and give them a bomber. Last for chrissake where is the Finnish Brewster? To put it in other words I think the order for adding planes should be...

1) Imperial Japanese (ALL)
2) Italian (ALL)
3) Finnish Brewster
4) Luftwaffe hvy bombers
5) US Wonder Weapons

Since the Finn's only need 1 plane perhaps even make them 2 on the list.

P-61A and B (WWII versions) topped out a 360mph.  It would be neat, but it isn't going to be unseating the P-38L as the best jabo.

You are a cluedart.  BTW the P-61 was actually very manuverable for it's size.

i also agree that i dont wana see any more american iron, id much rather see the Japanese and German Plane set filled in  not to mention Italy they are the worst off of em all cept from countrys that dont have planes in AH yet, but if you think about it in AH2 the ability for us to reskin planes will probably open up stuff for some other countrys. I was just sayin if HT did decide to add the P-61 it could be used, and the fact that some planes dont get used much is just life, when AH is all said and done like 15 years from now if its still goin and we have all the many planes of ww2 im sure there will be tons that dont get used, doesnt mean HT wont add em, look at the 163 i remember way back along time ago when i posted a thread about adding the 163, i think every person that could cept 2 said it should never be added and look what happend it all just comes down to what HT wants really.
 Just my 2 cents!:aok
