Grumman F6F-6

[Juicey1]

The next time you guys do a re-model or version of the game will you consider the re-model of the Grumman F6F Hellcat. Just like the BF109, F4u, Spitfire and p51 there are several models to choose from. Would be nice if the F6F-6 would be added to the line up. Airframe and platform was pretty much the same except for armament and engine. The F6F-6 was equipped with 4 outboard .50 cal Mg's, and 2 inboard 20mm hispano cannon's. Also the engine was changed to the P&W R-2800-18w with a 4 bladed paddle prop with a top speed of 416mph at altitude. Thanks for your time and consideration.

Never saw combat. Never even got out of the PROTOTYPE stage with only two airframes constructed.

Now the F6F-3 would be useful.

If only the Bearcart saw service. It's such a beautiful airframe and the performance very good. Hawker Sea Fury also.

Bearcat was in service before end of the war. it just never saw enemy planes, since the front lines was 5k miles away, took time to
travel there. Too me the only diff between ta 152 n F8F is the Ta saw combat because the enemy flew over their airfields everyday.

F8F was in production and in Squad level service.

In my opinion,,by those standards, it should be in the game then, at a high perk price!  that said there are many other planes that did see the enemy, that we still don't have   Yak 3!!!!

[Baumer]

Just remember the F8F's that were in squadron service at the end of the war only had 4x.50's not the  4x20mm's.

I'd love to have the F8F and the F7F, but it will probably never happen.

Silly me, I ment to say it didn't see combat.

If  a plane was in production and in squad level service, it should be here. I thin F8f should be here
 eventually with a high perk (50 to 100).

So, you do thin every plane that was produced in any quantity and put into service at a minimum of squadron level should be included? Or just the planes you like?

TA152 saw combat because it was shooting down enemy aircraft and beeing shot down in turn.

F8F was sitting on a ship in the Pacific out of harms way.

Just a minor, little difference.

of the what 50 152s produced, they only saw combat because Allies flew over their airfield, the F8F had to
travel to Okinawa area to find enemy.

That which they did not find enemies, did they.

A few other points:

1) The Allies weren't losing, so we weren't rushing our latest ideas to production and service and throwing them into the mix.
2) The Japanese were hoarding their best stuff for the defense of Japan, so much of it didn't see combat or much combat.
3) If we were to start seeing almost made it stuff, it would favor the Allies quite a bit due to the lack of performance documentation on much of the Axis almost made it aircraft.
