Henschel Hs P.75

Curtiss XP-55 Ascender

Kyushu J7W1 Shinden

we need to get 1 2 or all of thees aircrafts in the game
we need more pusher propeller planes in IL 2

[NineToes]

Well, as far as i know, the Shinden is already WIP?

[pursuivant]

And the Ass-Ender wasn't so hot. However,it did manage to make the ground crews sick because of the noise. It appears to be one of Curtiss' last gasps to produce a decent AC for the USAAF. The P 40 really was the last plane the company produced that was combat-worthy.

Actually, the Ascender was a product of one of odder USAAF contracts for experimental planes, the Request For Data R-40C, which also produced the Bell XP-52, Vultee XP-54 Swoose Goose and Northrop XP-56 Black Bullet, among others.

I don't think that either Curtiss or the USAAF really expected the Ascender to go anyplace. Of the three requests for a canard-wing fighter, I think that the Shinden actually came closest to becoming a production fighter.

I agree with you about the Super Corsair, however. I can't imagine why some modder hasn't glommed onto that project, given the popularity of late war uber-fighters.

How about the Super Corsair instead? Bubble canopy and a big ol' honkin' 3360 for motivation.

Corsair F2G had a 4360 powerplant P&W, Wright built the 3350.

Corsair F2G had a 4360 powerplant P&W, Wright built the 3350. The Goodyear F2G "Super" Corsair was a development by the Goodyear Aircraft Company of the FG-1/F4U-1 Corsair design as a special low-altitude version of a fighter equipped with a Pratt & Whitney R-4360 twenty-eight cylinder, four row radial air-cooled engine. Although often cited that the origin of the aircraft was as an interceptor of low-flying Japanese suicide airplanes, its actual beginnings came about in 1939 when the Pratt and Whitney company first proposed its enormous new engine. Thus the F2G lineage was tied to its engine design rather than tactical requirements.

if not the XP-55 y not the XP-54

or the XP-56

edit got more pusher propeller planes
Messerschmitt Me 329

Dornier Do P.252/2

Dornier Do P.252/3

[bohr-r]

How about we just switch off the front engine on the Do-335!?

Sorry, I couldn't resist,

[MrOblongo]

Well...here is some that actually flew and was operational .

The Saab 21

[Fryslanboy]

the saab, i know, it's quite a nice plane though, but it was in 2 ''variants(as i say), one with the prop engine, and one with a jet engine

this is the one with the prop(Saab 21)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_21

this is the one with the jet(Saab 21R)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_21R

Fokker D.23
http://www.dutch-aviation.nl/index5/Mil ... 20D23.html

the Fokker D.23 is not a Pusher configuration aircraft it is a Push-pull configuration aircraft

[Fryslanboy]

Did you see what kind of guns a 21R could carry???

Armament

1x 20 mm Bofors Cannon
4x 13.2 mm M/39A Heavy machine guns
Centerline pod for an additional 8x 13.2 mm M/39A Heavy machine guns
Wing racks for either: 10x 100 mm or 5x 180 mm Bofors rockets, or 10x 80 mm anti-tank rockets.

that's a nice pack of arms, isn't it?

[XB-49]

Here's another pusher plane. Something that I might just want to make. :wink:

the good old XB-36

[TinyTim]

Now that's a picture that really puts size into perspective! That B-29 looks tiny.
