Title: Heinkel He 219 Uhu
Post by: Duedel on November 19, 2001, 05:45:00 AM

What do you think about this nice plane?
Would it be cool to see this in AH?

Take a look at

Yep, its a nightfighter...  :)

Would go nicely with the Mosquito VI and Lancaster.

Ya I would love to see it to, The idea of adding a plane that mostly saw action at night is not new and not withought precedent (lancaster,Mossie...ect). The He 219, P 61 were very powerfull aircraft fast manuaverable and deadly, they would add alot to the MA IMO.

The P-61 might be the ultimate "fighter-killer" aircraft in AH, even during the day.

4 foreward-firing Hispanos, and 4 .50's in the turret.  OUCH.

This plane would be similar to the A-26 in AW--you could kill it, but it'd take quite a few people with it before it died.

Yep, P-61 is a very nice bird too. OK then, lets change this diskussion to a more general topic:


What about night fighters in AH?

Been asking for the He219 and Me410 for a LONG time now, hoping for atleast one of them in 1.09  :)

JAB, what do you think of 4x 30mm Mk108's or mK103's?  ;)

'JAB, what do you think of 4x 30mm Mk108's or mK103's?"

I think they're prefectly fine, as long as they're not pointed at me  :-)

Much more lethal against bombers, bout the same as 4 Hispanos against fighters--both gun sets will shred any fighter with a single short burst.

The thing that scares me about the P-61's potential in AH more than the Hienkel is that turret with the 4 .50's--buff turrets with only two such guns are already lethal.

I think your mistaken there jab 1 mk 108 hit will kill any fighter in ah.

3-5 will kill any buff.

hiszookas hit hard but no where near a mk108.......

I'm not mistaken at all; number of shells required to kill a fighter is irrevelant in this case.  What matters is the fact that both 4 x hispanos and 4 x Mk 108's will shred any fighter if you connect with even a short burst.

The 108's added lethality over the Hispano will be more useful against bomber aircraft than fighters.

Replaying ot the other post--the "coat hangars" on the Hienkel are for its on-board radar.
