It would be like the often used JU-87 we have now that every one wanted, and would live only a a wee bit longer in the MA.

Would be kinda like an A-20, no real advantage as we all have radar in the air craft now.

Would be a great buff buster though 4 20's and 4 .50's sure would hit hard but then the 110 does that now.

No, we wanted the JU87G with the big cannons and the siren.  What we got was a JU87 with peashooters and no siren.

P-61 would actually be a heck of a turnfighter, believe it or not.  For destroying bombers or b&z it would be viable.  I'd rather have an A-26 though.

If it gave the player flying the P-61 dot dar for a certain range even when the HQ is down or in areas outside a base's radar service area, it might be useful.  It might end up being used by players as an AWACS.

The Ju87G did not have a siren, the dive flaps were removed. All it could do was make about 7 passes on tanks, then rtb.


The model everyone wanted was a late D model, that had 20mm cannons in the wings instead of the 7.92s, although there still were no dive brakes (except the first production series) and had no siren.
