P61 had air to air kills but i dont know how many, and 706 were built over the war.

It seems that this plane is asked for every 6 months or so.  I think the last time was in June of this year.  But, no harm in asking for it again. Maybe some night time arenas to go with it too.

Note:  The P61 did have air to air kills.  http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/weapons_northrop_P-61_combat.html

+1 It may have been the largest fighter ever, but it packed a punch, was maneuverable, and was very fast.

I'd love to have it but seeing as there is no night in the game, there is no need for a NIGHT FIGHTER... Capiche?

Great craft, though.

then why is there night skins for the b17s?

[JOACH1M]

it doesnt have to be a night only plane...just seeing it saw action in ww2 and did impressive things, and its something else beside a 110 or a mossie!!

[Imowface]

Ki-45 is something else between a 110 and a Mossie, and its not ammerican, and had more wepon load outs, and also worked durring the day

also think it scored the last air to air kill in WWII

[Imowface]

the last air kill in WWII was a mustang shooting down a Ki-100 I belive

then why is there night skins for the b17s?

Because the B-17 is a regular bomber, night or daytime, just because it was also used as a night bomber doesn't mean it is strictly a night bomber, it can have night flying skins if people want to make it. Find someone who makes skins and give them a non-night fighting skin and we might be talking.

The black widow shot down lots of enemy planes the most planes shoot down by a night fighter was set in a black widow

Where's Ripsnort when you need him

[StokesAk]

fly a P38. 

[Nemisis]

Love how we can't have a plane because it was a night fighter. So what if it only flew at night. It still flew, served in squadron strength, and it made kills. Why can't we have a night fighter exactly? Explain your reasoning in detail to me.

[Pigslilspaz]

for once, i agree with nemesis, I've always thought this.
