Hello!

I'm planning on playing Poltava's Battle for Berlin 1943 campaigns (for both the Bf 110 G-4 and Ju 88 C-6 NJ) sometime soon, but I have some reservations about doing the Ju 88 C-6 NJ version, mostly in regards to enjoyment.

You see, the issue is that the C-6 NJ is only armed with 3 x MG FFs for cannon armament, with no options for alternatives in loadouts. Now I just finished the Kammhuber Line campaign with the Bf 110 E-1, which also has MG FFs, and scoring kills with them was a little irksome at times, even against twin engine bombers (For the record, I finished that 8 mission campaign with 19 kills, so I can certainly still work with MG FFs), but it's what they had at the time so it's what I had to work with. Late 1943 is a different story however, as the MG 151 had long since replaced the MG FF as fixed armament for most LW aircraft, and as far as I'm aware, there were cases of the FFs being replaced by 151s on the 88 C-6. Not to mention Schräge Musik on Nachtjägers throughout 1943 of course.

I just don't really like the sound of fighting four-engine heavies in late 1943 with a mere three MG FFs , all the while the 110 G-4 is stacked with heavy armament, both fixed and SM. Despite being pretty fond of German twin-engines, I could never really get into the Ju 88 personally. I want to give it a proper shot here, and I'll play it regardless of the FFs, but I can see that something like the current limitations of a mod will be getting in the way of that, after testing it a bit in QMB. I'm aware that the 88 C-6b mod has 151s as a loadout, but that doesn't have working radar. I'm also aware that the 151s would largely only improve velocity and fire rate, but those alone would make it so much better.


TL;DR: It'd be nice to get a loadout for the Ju 88 C-6 Nachtjäger mod that replaces some (or all) of the MG FFs with MG 151s. Schräge Musik would be nice as well but I imagine that'd take more effort to implement and I don't want to ask for too much

For BAT a simple exchange is absolutely no problem to do.
I will add a loadout option with the 151s.

good idea ... would be nice to have it in Vp modpack too.

Best Regards,

Thank you! I assume it'll be included in the next BAT update or hotfix, whenever that'd be?
