https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dornier_Do_335
I think the Do 335 would be a great addition to the air list , it finally gives the Germans a heavy fighter option! And yes it did see combat in ww2! And was way fast on the deck! It would have to be perked similar to the tempest (which it out ran on the deck in ww2).
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_P-61_Black_Widow
The p61 I feel dosnt need much explanation , it was the night fighter work horse of the US in ww2 (saw plenty of combat) and would be a perfect match to the 410 and mossie.

The PBY also doesn't need much explanation either , it was the work horse of the Navy in the Atlantic and Pacific and provided an excellent platform for transporting troops , bombing light ships , and search/scout missions . I think it would be used heavily in ah !
What do you all think?

1) Finally a heavy fighter? AH has three of them in the game already :)
2) The Do 335 never got operational status. A few were tested at the front, but no regular combat unit ever was equipped with them.
3) Oh, that old Clostermann story... ;)

Is the BF110g not a heavy fighter?

Let's just ignore the DO lol the p61 and PBY though!!!!!! :airplane: :joystick: :cheers:

The PBY would probably become a hangar queen in short order - unless it was given some kind of exclusive AH superpower, like the Storch has.

A long range icon for TGs?
Or the ability to mark TGs on the map for, say 5 minutes?

Odd, was just thinking the very same thing.

Also thinking of that idea that would come very in handy to do!

IIRC the PBY had air to sea radar (granted I know it was early radar and not what we have today) which could be added to detect fleets and mark them as other people have said. I would love to fly a PBY in a scenario though.

You'd have to give that ability to USAAF bombers as well as these planes were also used widely as maritime patrol/anti-maritime (anti-shipping) platforms, actually much more so than the PBY was. Until by agreement in 1943, USAAF had primary responsibility for maritime/anti-maritime duties.
-
The main power of the PBY was in clandestine troop recovery/deployment operations (downed pilots, coast watchers, etc.), and anti-submarine warfare. I like the PBY and I would love to own one, but I think they would be as useful as crop dusters.

JU88G attack plane would be nice, and reusable for other JU88's

The main job of the PBY was maritime recce/scouting, that was it's bread and butter and stayed that way throughout the entire war.

PBY +1

I wish there was a way to introduce PBY night attacks on convoys. While Im at it why not a scenario like the Guadalcanal Tokyo express campaigns since we have night now. Or even better the Battle of the Bismark sea?
Some of the maps in AH-II look so much like the S/W Pacific to me with all the greenery and the volcanic Islands.

You guys Ack-Ack is not on board!

I was always a +1 on the Do-335. It is such a cool aircraft and I think the German rides are at a bit of a disadvantage by the HTC policy of not implementing anything that wasn't deployed in combat in squadron strength. By the time the Germans were ready to deploy their ability to actually do so had been bombed into oblivion. Do-335 A-1 was in production in late '44, but the delays in engine deliveries and the bombing of the first production plant delayed deployment. A new plant went into production in Jan '45 at Oberpfaffenhofen but had only completed 11 A-1s and a couple of two seat trainers by the time the plant was overrun by the US Army in April.
