Presumably, the U.S. Navy first did tests with the mixed 20mm cannon/0.50 caliber MG armament, and then added the radar pod to make the nightfighter variant, so "day fighter" versions of the F6F-5 with mixed armament existed.

Even if this variant never made it past the testing ground, it's still a cool idea, and would make Hellcat a more effective bomber interceptor.

But, like I said, it's a cool MOD idea. DT can't touch it due to the consent decree. Talk to the excellent people at SAS or Free Modding.

Can we have an update?
We have nothing since January.

A Request for,
FoW option for recon spotted units (ground, ships, aircraft, etc.) to stay on the map for x amount of time after the recon plane moves out of the range it can spot the unit. And even better, a time stamp option adjacent to the spotted units icon on the map, and also, along with options for the units type, heading and speed stamp as of the last sighting adjacent to the spotted units icon.

Dear Team Daidalos,

I know that you were offered and accepted the He112 and that you will included it in one of your new patches. I would like to ask you if it will be in the 4.13 or 4.14.

Thanks a lot and keep on with this amazing simulator

like i said on SaS you need ask not DT ... ask Author of model ...

as far i know author of he112 have conversation with DT some about year ago ... model was checked and given some advice to author of model ... from that time i can't see any movement ...

would be really good if work on that plane will be continue ...

all possible... but most likely in 4.14 ...

From my recollection, the 20mm's gave a lot of trouble at higher altitudes due to the actions freezing. The only Hellcats I have ever read about using the 20's were the night fighters, as they were intended to be bomber interceptors and it was considered worth the trouble to use the cannons (The base where they were trained is close to me and I have a book that is locally published that goes into great depth on the subject). Otherwise the light construction of the typical Japanese aircraft rendered the 20mm not worth the trouble.

All of that said, I also think we'll have to look to the mods to make this a practical addition to IL2.

Maybe they are skipping 4.13 to do 4.14?
