heh...was waiting for someone to say that magpie...though really i'm curious if you're saying that more to the OP or all of us...as i already put it in as being a new plane, not new armament for a current plane and everoyne since has kept that line too as you'll read we're calling for a 'late' FM-2 to be added, not for adding the rockets to the current FM-2 anymore. Anyway, as to other modifications i'm not personally sure, though the literature only seems to point to rockets being added, so i imagine that and maybe the spinner modification would be the only changes necessary for a 'late' model FM-2.
and to Standds, good point on the -1C production numbers there, i'd forgotten about that one, was only thinking of the planes with the moniker 'late' *smacks forehead remembering the 'late P-47D* as examples. and i agree on the F4U-4 and the 47N too but think the FM-2 'late' would be a quicker addition and easier for our already rather busy mod team and/or an easier job for some of our other budding mod makers to cut their teeth on. it would be putting out 'new' planes faster into the game to try out until the more truly new planes are ready is the main reason i show more support to these smaller mods than the big ones atm. I figure it as a decent balance between quantity and quality (the latter of which i always expect from AAA's great team of course but all the same).
