it's would be difficoult introduce the nigthfigther
not only for j88 same to p-61 ; 110 ecc.
(http://www.iss.northropgrumman.com/gallery/historical/images/p-61.jpg)
but there were j88 figther version without radar
i mean
Introducing a new plane in AH is difficult:
it involves working to build up all Grafic, skin, FM, cockpit ecc...
but in some cases we Have already about the 70%, becouse HT staff have done it, of that big working done...
i want for example speaking about the j88
now we fly the Ju-88A-4 version
but there were a lot of version
take a look here:
story and specifications:
j88 figthers version (http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/types/germany/junkers/ju_88/Ju_88_nf.htm)
all the j88 models pics, from the born to the end:
j88 model pics (http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Waffen/Bilderseiten/Ju88-R.htm)
so for the lazy boys it could be nice have the Ju-88C-6
becouse realize a model like Ju-88C-6 would be moore easy then add something new...(i think)
Ju-88C-6
Motors:
same of A-4 ---->Jumo 211j 1.340 HP
weight:
8600 Kg instead 8000 (A-4)
Fast:
480 KM/h instead 433 Km/h (A-4)
guns:
3 X 20 mm MG FF in the nose
3 X 7,92 mm MG 17 in the noose too
2 X 20 mm MG 151/20 " Schrage Musink" That is mounted oblique towards the high
numbers:
about 2.500 unit produced
example of new nose that have to build

details of
" Schrage Musink" gunns : That is mounted oblique towards the high
(http://www.raf.mod.uk/bombercommand/anatomy/images/ju88guns2.jpg)
what i mean in that example is that ( i think) add this airplane would involve a smaller job that to add of one new everybody wants news planes in AHII, me too
i still waiting ONE ITALIAN BOMBER LIKE CANTZ OR SM79 !!or Fiat G-55
but ....
i think we have to try to discuss, not only about any new plane we wanna see in AH, but also about what plane that will be easy to add, modificating what we already have....
Isnt it?
-
Just dont give us more versions of the spit and im happy.
-
<---agrees.
But I don't think we'll be getting any nightfighters, or the Icons should be disabled...what's the point of painting a plane black while you've got an enormous range - plane icon above your head which can be seen from 6000ft!
-
that's 6000 yards
-
how much is a yard? about 33 feet? (100 meters)
-
One yard is deff not 33 feet. :rofl
-
A yard is three feet, roughly equivalent to a meter.
-
One yard is equal to 91,44 cm.
One foot is equal t 30,48 cm.
One inch is equal to 2,54 cm.
Are you Comboys ever going to adopt the international system? :D

Nope :cool:
actually
Proponents of the metric system in the U.S. often claim that "the United States, Liberia, and Burma (or Myanmar) are the only countries that have not adopted the metric system." This statement is not correct with respect to the U.S., and probably it isn't correct with respect to Liberia and Burma, either. The U.S. adopted the metric system in 1866. What the U.S. has failed to do is to restrict or prohibit the use of traditional units in areas touching the ordinary citizen: construction, real estate transactions, retail trade, and education. The U.S. has not made the crucial transition from "soft metric" to "hard metric", so that "1 pint (473 mL)" becomes "500 mL (1.057 pint)", with the traditional equivalent fading into smaller type sizes and finally disappearing.

:confused:
How did this go from being about a tailgunner to nightfighters, and then about the metric system being better than imperial system, which it is.

sort of back on topic.
I picked this up a couple of months ago and personally think it is a great book on its subject. Gunner (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1550463322//ref=ase_zenoswarbirdvideA/104-2377098-0792760?v=glance&s=books&vi=pictures)
