In the spirit of maintaining solidarity with my fellow Buccaneers, I too gotta vote for the PV2 Harpoon, AND...
The Boultan-Paul Defiant!!! It would make a good artillary spotter plane, one that could at least attempt to take care of itself (as I recall, four machineguns in a powered turret, firing every direction except forward...talk about your experten aircraft). Taking a gunner would be a must, of course, since it would have to be able to manuever to survive. Also, it would make for some interesting dogfights. Finally <drum roll> it absolutely, positively, undeniably has NEVER been done in ANY flight sim before...period!
