Me-410,P-61,A-26

I think the main reason we don't have night fighters is because we don't have night.
-
Me-410,P-61,A-26
Only one of the three aircraft that you listed is a dedicated nightfighter.
-
Me 410: yes
P-61: no, we don't have night.
A-26: Why?
-
It's enough to make ya weep sometimes.
Beaufighter. 1940-45 Those other three are all latecomers and didn't do half the jobs the Beau did.
-
Really?
A-20G Night Fighter Equipped with four 50 Calibers and four 20 mm cannons
-
Me 410: yes
P-61: no, we don't have night.
A-26: Why?
P-61:can be used as a fighter bomber :D

Search is your friend :aok
All of these have been brought up before. There was a push for all three in the poll (am I remembering this correctly)?

We have enough fighter bombers :devil

I thought the P-61 was in the very first round of the poll? :headscratch:

Jeez, is the Mossie not good enough for you guys??? :old:

Is anything ever good enough for us?

The Mossie we have is not really a night fighter. For the best night fighter of the war we'd need the Mosquito NF.Mk 30. Did about 430mph at ~27,000ft. On the deck it would be a bit slower than the Mosquito VI we have already.
And yes, hunting B-29s in a Mosquito Mk 30 does sound good to me.

Did the NF. Mk 30 have the same loadout as the fighter/attacker we have now?

No .303 machine guns, no bomb bay, no capability for rockets. More 20mm ammo. It could carry a 500lb under each wing, but that was the limit of its ordnance capability.

whatever happened to the b29? i hardly see it anymore.

I see them every day but the long chase in my 110 usually ends up with a 163 fight deep in enemy territory.
-
"our night isn't night."
So true. And with every plane equipped with awacs radar and a big neon icon
how are 'night' fighters going to stalk and catch anyr prey?
-
its a cool idea but i laugh at this for 1 we need night first in order to have night fighters and 2 even if we did have nightfighters and night you would have a bright red color above your name so either way your not hard to spot.
-
My thoughts...you do not need night for night fighters in AH. Reasoning? If everything in AH 100% correct, 1 country would be Allied, 1 country Axis, and 1 country Switzerland, and we must all fly our countries respected planes.
-
If we are going for nightfighters:
JU88 G/R series. Later in the war, with some modifications and with more speed and firepower - the JU-88 was probably the most successful night-fighter of the war (namely because the germans had more stuff to hunt at night) and mighty sexy too.
(http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr52/existentialvoid/Junkers-Ju-88G-1-NachtJager-1S.jpg)
but really, night fighting - to be frank - would take a lot of new code and some actual technical skills (operating the equipment) - but a proper 24 hour time cycled AH 2 would be ideal - so that the there will be real night and day cycles with different skills and equipment. But thats all distant future stuff.
-
I don't think night is needed for night fighters to get some use. Sure, a pure day fighter will have the advantage, but there are people who can use the Mossie VI, Bf110G and A-20G as successful fighters in AH now.
A fight between a Ju88G-7 and Mosquito NF.Mk.30 would probably be a lot of fun, daylight or not.
-
How about a C6N night fighter?

lol i fly them alot. unfortionatly i havnt ran into anyone at 25,000ft to 29,000ft they always up from the base i drop on then they chase me and fail cuz im at full power going 350mph. and last night when i was empty i clocked it at 392mph.
as for night fighters yes it would be better if we had night time for night fighters. an i dea that i thought of was to have a small dar circle around the nightfighter so you wouldnt need another player opperating the radar(or you can if you want).

Changing enemy icon's colors to brite yellow or orange would look good at night.
Night time is a deal close to my heart. I loved it back in the day and have posted many times.
Someone mentioned above about a real 24 hour cycle and having nightfighters. Not a bad idea except who gets stuck with the night? The Euro crowd, the Asian folks, or the USA? Maybe a 6 or 8 hour rotation might be best. It might also help do away with the Arena changes daily - (Off hours). Yet, the window for many is small. I understand the reasons, but still wish we had a way!!

No, we'd need a dedicated NIGHT Arena.
Otherwise, here we go again.

A quick search would show I have submitted a lenghty post about Night Arenas. HT, himself, squashed that one! :)

I'm quite aware of that, K-Ken, and basically share your view on the matter.
BTW, that handle always reminds me: "Oh no, it's k-k-k-ken c-c-c-coming to k-k-k-kill me."

I took in in Air Warrior in 1996, "A Fish called Wanda" of course. :)

That's what I figured. My quote is, of course, what Klein says when K-Ken hops aboard the steamroller.
