Yes 8x20mm Me410 pleaseyesgood!  Crew Chief, please remove the MGs from my 109K4.  They are dead weight.

Honestly as much as some of those mods were great leaps forward in effectiveness, I don't want this to turn into 'Pimp my Plane'.  As much as it hurts, I think it's a better fit better for the game to stick with standard plane setups rather than allowing too much customization.

agreed.

I'm a dedicated P38 junkie and have read about some of the Field Mod loadouts the Lightnings had. And some of them would be a lot of fun.
(if HTC ever allowed the L it's 2x 2000lb package, we never hear the end of the "B-38" whines.)

Can you imagine what the purse fights on CH 200 would be like ?
"you only beat me because your plane has a Field Mod."
"(insert usual retort)"
etc.

. . . . . and should I dare mention . . . . . perk farming      :rofl

I would vote no on this one   :old:

I'd +1 this IF when you lose the plane you lose the field mods (and the perkies that paid for them).  Give's people a reason to bring the ride back.

Then there is the high octane fuel for the Allied planes.  Kind of a field mod.

Sorry gents, Tuesday's are our squad night. Waystin can only make it to Sunday before he needs his next red guys fix. I think it's Lawndart's turn to put on the Monday red bunny suit and race off screaming into the bushes. Just keeps your hands and fingers away from your monitors and you should be fine....... :angel:

Perked field mods would be fun.

An asterisk next to the plane type icon would be a good indicator that it's field mod equipped.

Why don't we have them already?

The reason why we don't have any field mods is that in a lot of cases there is no reliable data on the performance these mods had or in some cases, no proof these mods were even in place or they were one off field tests (like the M-24 Super Pershing with the additional armor field mod or the B-25Bs used in the Doolittle Raid).
