IT WAS A PRANT!!! Sorry to everyone that WANTED these aircraft in the game.
OK. After being discusted by the constant flow of uber-duber "Luft 46" aircraft, I finally took the initiative to do something to even out the score. I mean come on! Do-335, Ta,183, Go-229 and the LERCHE II, people are still adding more to it!
Lets start off simple. P-38R. Powered by two RR Merlin 130 & 131 "slimline" engines at 2070HP each, clipped wings, and bubble canopy. Armorment increased to 6 M3 guns in the nose at 1200RPM each. Capable of reaching 500+MPH at sea-level.
Now here is one close to my heart. The F5U FLYING PANCAKE!!!
Developed to be a low landing speed carrier aircraft that takes very little space, this thing could HUVER with powerful enough engines. Prototype built with P&W R-1830's buaried in the wings, it could acheave a top speed of 425MPH, and a landing speed of JUST 20MPH! Armed with 4 20MM and the ability to hang on its props like no other aircraft!
Northrop B-35 flying wing. The true ancestor to the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber. So much so, it even had the same wing span, and control system. I guess they got it right the first time in the 1940's! With 18 defensive guns, maximum speed of 393mph, and a 50,000lb bomb load, this thing will decimate whats left of Berlin!
P-56 Black Bullet. Designed in 1939, this radical fighter had a rear radial engine, and *GASP* SWEPT WINGS! What. Didnt we "steal" that from the Me-262? Early war 400MPH+ with 2 20MM and 4 .50 cal in the nose.
Note, this is early work.
Note that a lot of these models are in early development. The B-35 is the closest to being done, as its already getting some paint on it. I just wish IL2 had some type of reflective aluminum shader for it! Soon, us Yanks will be able to match, if not BEST all those 109 K14 and 190D13/TA's online. We already have the P-80 busting up the Me-262 and Ta-183's, so we dont need any more jets.
What do you guys think?
