First off I would like to thank the game God's for bringing to life this amassing plane Supperfly she is a thing of beauty...
I was wondering if at some point in the future the drag chute would be added?
I was wondering if at some point the rear firing 20mm MG 151's would be added.
I was wondering if we would get the option to sling the PC 1400 and or the SC 1000 bombs from the AR 234 (3,086.5lb's & 2,205lb's respectively)
Finally the Periscope was as we are well aware the sighting device for the cannons, it was also used to look forward as a shallow angle dive bomb sight...

don't forget 1000kg bombs for Ju88.. (didnt 190F carry 1000kg bomb? not sure)
-
Cluster munitions like the AB 1000-2 Container for the Ju-88 and AR234. And Panzerblitz/R4M rockets for the 190F-8.

PC 1400 would be nice for splatting hangers - bonus being that it would make less drag than the 3x500kg.
Rear MG 151/20's: How would you aim them in AH? One idea I had is that they could make a little "tunnel" up into the periscope so that you can move your "virtual pilot head" up inside it when looking back, then have a ring+bead type gunsite that you would have to line up yourself. Maybe HTC could provide a .hps file that lines it up correctly for you.
-
couldent the arado carry like 10-12 smaller 50kg bombs also?? I twould be vastly better at killing ostis that way.
-
the back-firing mausers had no more use than a little moral add for the pilot, as it was very difficult to aim them.
PC1400 and SC1000 would be great for the Arado.
Fw190F8 could carry a 1400kg bomb, with some modifications to the landing gear, and a 1000kg with no problem. I think that the SC1000 should be added to the F8 ordnance.
Also panzerblitz are needed in this plane, IMO (rockets are the best de-acking weapon in aces high).
Wobble, the Arado could carry external ordnance only. IF you tell me how did they put 10 50-kg bombs on three hardpoints I will believe that it was possible (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
But I think that this is not true.

There are already speed brakes, there just ain't a lightbulb to show if they are deployed or not.

I read it could carry 9 50kg bombs 3 in a row under each hardpoint (had some kinda rack they could attach) Or it could carry 1 large bomb and 3 on each hardpoing, and vice versa, I read it way back when the Arado was announched and i wanted info about it, ill try to find the sight again, has pictures too.
-
I wouldn't mind getting the drag chute since the current brakes are effectively a joke. It takes nearly the entire runway to slow the thing down!
As for the other options, I say we get the Panzerblitz rockets plus a few more toys for the F8. Right now it's just a 4 gunned Fw-190 with one extra bomb option.

I think the lack of guns is a playability option. The Ar234 IS a perk plane. The only way to catch one is to dive on it. Its high speed means that your shot will inevitably be a dead six shot. A pair of mausers would hurt! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
