Title: A plane I want to see
Post by: Precha on March 13, 2003, 02:58:46 PM

The under-rated, rarely mention, but always awesome Northrop P-61 Black Widow.  I don't know of any game that currently models it and I would love to see that sleek black beauty flying through the virtual skies.  And it isn't jmust the looks, but the 4 20 mm cannon for offensive punch and the 4x .50 cal in a turret for defense that I would like to see in action as well.

Just my 2 cents worth :)

(sorry...hit the wrong button.  Meant to have it with the other thread...oh well) :D

Great idea, add a station for the EWO.   Although the German ground crew got a shock when they were straffed by black P-38s  shooting sideways!

:eek:
