Title: He 219 Uhu
Post by: captkaos on September 07, 2006, 05:29:08 PM

How about a German night fighter, the He 219 Uhu (Owl) would make a great addtion.  I am sure I am not the first to ask for it, and I won't be the last.  Lots of cannons to do bomber control, as well as being effective against fighters, plus faster than the 110.

You see it listed as 416mph, but that was just Heinkel's claim.  It never broke 400mph in service.

I have seen a number of photos of the He219 being shot down by Mosquito intruders, which had a very positive kill ratio against it.

I love the 219, but without true night combat it has no real place in AH2 right now. And under MA conditions, it would be not as good many people might think. Higher wingload and worse power/mass ratio than our 110G. It wont be that effective vs fighters.
