Uhhh, you do realize that the Italian airplane you have pictured does not have a radial engine, right? :uhoh
-
The aircraft you have pictured, we have in game.

Trigger you can't copy and paste everything you see on Google. :rolleyes:
And err...didn't you just ask for these about a month ago? :huh

Grabbed the wrong picture from my comp. xD And they're from an encyclopedia set of weapons of the 20th Century I got when my grandad passed away...
Bringing back some old wishes of mine...
And it was about 4 months ago. (:

Keep in mind the Firefly you are showing is not the WW2 version, but the Korean war version.

Which one :huh The top one looks like an LA but the rest look like good add ons except the third too slow ;)

I'm all for the Firefly. But remember we cant have the lV or the V because they dont make the criteria. Which means we wont get the 2,330 HO Griffon 72 because I dont believe the MK- lV entered combat before the war was over with. I'm going from memory here so feel free to correct me.
The MK-l would be a competitive aircraft, but still your leaving about 50 mph on the table. Still a non-perk 4 Hispano CV born ride, and tough to boot, would be an instant hit. Mots of all for the guys who'll ask 4 times if "ack is down" before they launch. :lol
The Firefly had good range, a respectful bomb load, great cannons, and would be a fine fit in the game.
"Is the ack down yet"? :rofl

The first one, maybe so, but the 2nd isn't. ;)I'm all for the Firefly. But remember we cant have the lV or the V because they dont make the criteria.

Glad you think it'd do well. (:
