Here are some planes I saw week before last at the Blue Angels homecoming airshow that AH could use. They would all be heavily perked of course.
New perk Goon:

This is a perk Luftwobble ride, but also RAF and Italy could use it:

For when you just cant find that $@$%^& Panzer in the woods!

This is automatically issued to anyone who runs a mission. It will be available from both CV's and land bases

And last but not least, so 999000 and Tatertot can find and sink CV's more efficiently

Lucky you to see the Blue Angels.
(Favorite air group to watch).

What is that on the F4's right wing?
-
Probably a radar pod the period. I think I remember some of the F4Us being converted / modified to be night fighters. I could be wrong though.
-
Its a radar. Thats a night fighter version, I think this is an F4U-5N which is a post war plane, Dec '45 I think. It first saw combat in '50 with VMF(N)-513 in Korea.
Just for grins, what do you think a 4x20mm cannon F4U-5 would be perked at?

AHhh weird, looks like it would be bad for aerodynamics.

Nice pics Grits.
that is a radar pod on that F4u. Woudl be a neat little option to have in game when Radar goes down in the MA. :)
Here she is at a show here Connecticut

Thats an insulated beer keg cooler

The navy/marine dual engine plane u are talking about being issued to mission controllers looks kinda like a P38 platform :)

Little known fact, but the F4U-4 could replace the 50 cals with 4 20mm hispanos. This was a day one option as far as I know. I am not sure why the -4 doesn't have the 4 20mm option in AH2. Maybe just an oversight on HTs part, or maybe it would just be too good even as a perk.
I doubt if any 4 20mm F4U-4s made it into combat, but I have no proof one way or the other :)

who was the only USN ace of the Korean war? what did he fly?
-
Forgot one we need.

Guy Bordelon had 5 kills of La11's (all of which were at NIGHT) and he flew an F4U-5N in VC-3 off of the USS Princeton the same squadron as the one in the photos above. He was also the last pilot to get ace status in Korea.
