MESSERSCHMITT ME 163B-1a "KOMET" circa 1945

This model depicts a Messerschmitt Me 163B-1a Komet 'Raketenjager', Circa May 1945. Intended as a high-speed, short-range defender of important targets given its restricted combat endurance, the Me 163 Komet was a brillant innovation but generally unsuccessful weapon. Even though its high speed seemed to be a virtue was in fact a liability as target closing speeds were so fast it was too difficult for the "Raketenjager" to bear its guns onto the bombers. Various armament adaptions were experimented such as the photocell-sensored SG 500 or Jagdfaust with 10 vertical rocket barrels firing 50mm projectiles upward into a bomber formation but were all too late to have an effect. By 1945, with some 300 in front-line service, only I/JG.400 was able to engage the enemy; it claimed only 9 bombers against a lost of 14 of their own. This HR model and skin were created by Flyright and is for use only with the Version 1.28A exe for EAW. (ME-109E Slot)

SNAPADDON 1A: JUNKERS Ju 88A-4 'AUNIS' (CIRCA 1944-45)

The creation of a bomber group was decided after having liberated the Toulouse area (South-West of France) and the Ju88A was impressed into service with Groupe de Barbardment I/31 "Aunis", part of the Forces Francaises de Atlantique. These Junkers aircraft were available in Blagnac, where they were repaired from spare parts and engines that had been hidden in the area by the Germans. The first mission was flown on 19th October 1944 over Royan (Atlantic Coast) and a total of 312 missions were completed by the end of the war. Out of the (22) Ju 88A-4 that were recieved by GB I/31, ten were destroyed during the conflict. This SnapAddon was created by The Firm. The aircraft colour scheme was based on a camouflage scheme created by Frederic Botto (FreddyB). (P-38H Slot)

SNAPADDON 2A: BOULTON PAUL P.82 DEFIANT MkI/NF.MkII (CIRCA 1940-42)

The philosophy of a single-engine fighter with all armament concentrated in a power-operated turret was proven tactically a failure after Dunkirk. Susequently, since it carried a second crew member, the Defiant was judged a good basis for a dedicated night fighter and was reclassified from the MkI as the NF.MkII series, which was eventually withdrawn from opertional duties by the end of 1942. However, during 1940-41 it did well, starting from the "night blitz" and also served in the air/sea/rescue role in Britain, the Middle East and Far East. Some became relegated for non-combatant duties. After raising the landing gear into its combat-ready postion, the rear turret fairing would have been lowered for a full 360 degree firing range and the pilot had to shut his hood while the gunner would then retract the forward fairing. The tactics employed were as difficult as they were unique, since the turret guns were seldom fired forward, as the flash blinded the pilot. Instead, those aircraft with the radar would gradually draw along side or beneath the enemy bomber, before opening fire with quick direct hits, then taking immediate evasive action, by which time both crew members would have lost all night vision. This SnapAddon was created by The Firm. Some of the aircraft colour schemes were based on a camouflage schemes created by FlyingSheep, Karel, Standley99, Stag and P.Alfaro. The final camouflage upgrading for non-mirroring codes was contributed by Captain Kurt. (TYPH Slot)

SNAPADDON 3B and 4B: DOUGLAS A26B INVADER

The American "attack" designation was selected for initial production and entered combat service with the US 9th Air Force in Europe late 1944. This variant carried six .50 cal. MG in a solid nose (4 positioned in staggered pairs to the starboard side with 2 offset to port side) representing its early batch production configuration, which also began with the underwing packs that added another eight .50 cal. MG in twin gun-pods. Another optional variant provided with six retrofitted .50 cal. MG internally mounted inside the outer wing panels so bombs and rockets can be carried underneath the wings. Plus a further typical feature was locking down the dorsal turret in order to fire a fixed pair of .50's offering an additional battery for straffing. This locked-down barbette version is included within a separate folder as a player preferred addon option with that enhanced forward firing power. This was occasionally practiced as a result of the poor performance of the remote controlled pair of the barbettes. An internal payload of 4000-lbs could be carried plus a maximum 2000-lb external arsenal on outer-wing pylons mounting between 8 to 12 HVAR 5-in rockets or up to 500-lb size bombs with auxillary fuel cells. This SnapAddon was created by The Firm. The aircraft skin was by Serb. The modified gunsight was by Claudio Wilches. (P-38J Slot)

SNAPADDON 5: FOCKE-WULF Fw 190A-8/R8 RAMMJAGER

Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-8/R8 Rammjager (circa 1944-45). This variant was initially conceived as a Ramming Fighter intended for testing the feasibility of new tactics attacks against the Allied bomber. It was fitted with (R7 Rustsatz kit) as added armor to the leading edges of the wings in order to increase its chances to penetrate the defensive screen of bomber formations and upgraded as an experimental close-fighting anti-bomber version replacing the standard outboard armament with a pair of 30mm. MK 108. A small number of these heavily armored assault fighters delivered were operated for the special "Sturm" (assault or shock) role, such as Assault Squadron 1 or "Sturmstaffel 1 which was an experimental fighter unit first formed to use this new method. The pilots also personally modified their own fighters with additional armor plating or "Scheuklappen" around their cockpit canopy whereas these blinkers were incorporated later as standard factory installation to most A-6, A-7 and A-8 series. This SnapAddon was created by The Firm. Loadout and hardpoint hexing by Moggy. Camo themes originally by Migge, A.Alonso, J.Junqueira. Externally modified by Captain Kurt for Panzerglass canopies. Additional enhancements to Woolfmans sliding canopy and the non-mirrored effect, incorporating 3dz antenna array, by LLv34_Doc. Claudio Wilches inner structure fix from cockpit-view and cockpit files originally created by Mikko "Migge" Kosonen. Assortment of Luftwaffe drop tanks by Mosi, Ghostboy, etc. to mix and match with skin pack.    Rammjager main file    Skin Pack No.1    Skin Pack No.2 (FW-190A Slot)

SNAPADDON 6b: FOCKE-WULF Fw 190TL

The Fw 190TL was an early Focke-Wulf attempt to produce a jet powered fighter in 1941 by replacing the BMW 801 twin-row radial with a simple centrifugal jet engine. The Focke-Wulf T.1X 1 turbojet was initially selected to replace the BMW to an existing production Fw 190A frame but with the project being abandoned in 1942. Maybe in time the pioneering of this early vision of jet capability might have been overcame and as an interim jet-fighter applied as a stop-gap while the Me 262 became fully operational. This 'WHAT IF' SnapAddon was created by The Firm. The 3DZ model modifications and flight dat editing were created by Moggy. The default skin was by Woolfman, modified by SagginB. Additions include Woolfmans enhanced cockpit with sliding canopy and cockpit gauges by Migge. The flight model and loadouts were modified for an enhanced Turbojet by Flyright. Additional skins by Serb, Lagarto, Julio Junqueira and Greg Thompson, modified where necessary by Gramps (FW-190A Slot).

SNAPADDON 9a and 10a: SUPERMARINE SPITFIRE MK.XIV

The Spitfire XIV was essentially an intermin stage of development of the Griffon-engine fighter and with refinements would eventually emerge as the Mk 21. In early production form the Mk XIV entered service in January 1944 with the "B" -wing armament configuration having two 20-mm cannon and four 0.303-in (7.7-mm) machine guns for which this craft represents. Later standardized with the "E" -wing when substituting a pair of .50-cal (12.7-mm) guns for the above quartet as already being available when using ECAPanels Spit Mk XIVe. In addition, a clipped wing version to help out those immersive "anti-diver" patrols has also been included with this same gun armament. Plus an interesting note was that over 300 German flying bombs were destroyed by the Mark XIV. The aircraft in these SnapAddons 9a and 10a packs provide two versions of the aircraft, the Mk.XIV and the LF Mk.XIV. The original skins were by Flying Sheep and Nico I'As and were modified, where required, by Redeyes'. The SnapAddon packs, modified flight model and loadouts were created by Flyright. (SPIT 14 Slot)

SNAPADDON 11a: NORTH AMERICAN P-82B TWIN MUSTANG

Before the war ended the contract for five hundred production P-82B's were ordered by the USAAF using the British licensed Packard Merlin V-1650 as well as the radar equipped P-82F, P-82G and a winterized P-82H. The P-82B provided provisions for underwing racks capable of carrying payloads up to 4000-pounds. Also a central gun pod carrying 8x0.50-inch machine guns was also applied as a Heavy-fighter variant now adapted for this new addon. The (P) designation reflects US Army pursuit aircraft prior to 1948. The original 3DZ model and skin were created by Charles and modified for this release by Gramps. The SnapAddon pack, modified flight model and loadouts were created by Flyright. (P-51D Slot)
