Westland Whirlwind

So what would yall think about adding it? Might be a good early war bird, and 4 Hispanos sounds nice. Plus it is good at low alt, very fast, and most of all it looks awsome! Good alternative to the BF110 and Mosquito in the attacker-heavy fighter role also.

Would do fine in the new Early War arena.

Add to the list ...
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

It would be a nice early war perk. Not to big of a perk tho. Just think BoB and your cruising along in your Ju88 when from your high 6 a Westland Whirlwind comes down firing 4 20mm cannons in your A hole.
