Just a thought. would love to tear the skies up with a Widow. Either the B or C variant or both
-
Not really any use...It would just be a hangar queen if we got one of the earlier variants, also
Be a man, fly the 38

Performance
* Maximum speed: 318 knots (366 mph, 589 km/h) at 20,000 ft (6,095 m)
* Combat range: 530 nm (610 mi, 982 km)
* Ferry range: 1,650 nm (1,900 mi, 3,060 km) with four external fuel tanks
* Service ceiling: 33,100 ft (10,600 m)
* Rate of climb: 2,540 ft/min (12.9 m/s)
* Wing loading: 45 lb/ft² (219 kg/m²)
* Power/mass: 0.15 hp/lb (25 W/kg)
* Time to altitude: 12 min to 20,000 ft (6,100 m) (1,667fpm)
Armament
* Guns:
o 4× 20 mm Hispano M2 cannon in ventral fuselage, 200 rounds per gun
o 4× 0.50 cal (12.7 mm) Browning M2 machine guns in upper turret, 560 rounds per gun
* Bombs: for ground attack, four bombs of up to 1,600 lb (726 kg) each or six 5 inch (127 mm) HVAR unguided rockets could be carried under the wings. Some aircraft could also carry one 1,000 lb (454 kg) bomb under the fuselage.
:O I hardly call these stats a "hanger queen"

P61 entry into AH will be problematic as it was designed and built strictly as a night fighter with airborne radar. I doubt HT would go through the trouble of designing and adding a on board radar system that would be worthless in the day light and I personally would hate to see night return to the game.
Love the 61 though.

read the last part of my quote again and then do some more research

P-61C was post war.
We have lots and lots and lots of US aircraft to pick from.
Yadda, yadda, yadda.
No.

Add it baby. +1 :aok

I have always loved the P-61. Always thought it was one of the sexiest birds from WWII. Would love to see it. Would think they would have to bring back nighttime though.

Those specs I believe came from the C model which didn't see any combat at all. We'd get the A or B variant if the Blackwidow was added and they weren't the stellar plane you think they were. The C model was the definitive model of the Blackwidow and usually the only one that people think of when they hear the Blackwidow name.

Why I told him to look at his facts again/why I said an early P-61 variant would turn into a hangar queen once the newness wore off.

what about sea planes with torpedos

I agree that the radar issue is a problem but I have to ask why people are against having nighttime in the game, im not trying to be stupid but I wasnt here when apparently was and am wondering about the reasoning.

Because you can't see?
