I'll pile onto the people asking for the Mosquito. In terms of numbers built, successful use in the role, etc., it was a very important night fighter type, although it's more than a match for the Bf-110G-4 NJ.

If you want a U.S. type based on planes already in the game, you could include the P-70 Havoc, the F4U-2 (or F4U-4N) or the P-38M.

The Soviets could use the Pe-3 or Yak-9 nightfighter variants. The Italians could use the Re.2001 CN.

If you wanted to make the Luftwhiners squeal with delight, you could consider adding the Heinkel He-219 Uhu to the game. If you're just wanting to do conversions of existing planes, the Bf-109 and Ju-88 NJ variants would make solid mates to the Bf-110.

Sadly, the P-61 Black Widow, the one night fighter that every U.S. player wants will never be in the game. Damn you Northrop Grumman!
