but are those gun options packages for the same model?  are they in the front, rear, where?  this guy just posted a bunch of airplanes that just duplicates current threads.  and most likely did it to be obnoxious.

those are gun options for same plane, different models. it's not that difficult to comprehend. like the difference between the ju-87d3 and the ju-87g2...same plane different model.

if the guns are the only differences between models, then they could very well end up as gun packages in the hangar...choose the loadout.

Different model gun packages I believe Semp.

Your wishes might be better received alpini13, if you didn't just cut and paste text, but added some pictures, commented on why you thought it would be a good addition and made other people interested in the aircraft or excited about the idea.

Take a look at the most recent and truly epic Westland Whirlwind thread for a good example (plug plug  :rofl):-

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,313538.0.html

We tried to contribute every resource we could find, to stimulate interest and just in case HTC was interested in adding it. I even stole the blueprints from the National Archive and had to run away with a large Alsatian attached to my nether regions  :cry

It is not the same at all!  Especially since the gun package options might be extremely interesting.

Japan didn't use "A, B, C" to differentiate between different models of the same plane type.

Ko was armed with two .50 caliber machine guns in the nose, a 20mm cannon in the belly and a rear mounted 7.92mm machine gun.
Otsu was armed with the same nose gun package but the 20mm cannon in the belly mount was replaced by a 37mm cannon.
Hei had the .50 cals removed in the nose and replaced with a 37mm cannon.  The 37mm cannon that was in the belly mount was returned to a 20mm cannon in the belly mount.  Some Heis had oblique firing 20mm cannons mounted behind the cockpit and the 20mm cannon in the belly mount removed.

I was kind of sad that this plane didn't make it into the in-game poll but, I also knew it wasn't going to make it to that poll anyways. :cry  I still hope to see it one day. :aok
