searchlights would be good and a mossie with a canon and more english bomber planes Stirling,Manchester,Halifax,Blenheim and Wellington they played there part in the war how about cv plane like the swordfish

1) no night time settings so searchlights not needed
2) Fly the mossie youll find it has 4x.303 and 4x20mm Hispanos
3) Halifax, Wellington, Manchester, Stirling are being represented by the Lancaster III
4)Blenheim is being represented by the much better Boston III (lend lease A20)
5) swordfish well that would be nice but its to outdated in the areans most play in, it would only fit early/mid war with some sucess so dont count on seeing it anytime soon.

Yes we need more brit bombers but we need more russian, german, and italian before another brit heavy bomber is added. And night time would be nice but id probably be a hanger queen when its night cause earlier versions of AH1 had that, and IMO sucked to fly at night due to red icons to give location away. Hope i've helped ya

It would be interesting to have HTC shorten the icon visibility range significantly at night, like it is in fog, for example.

Maybe to only about D800.

zoozoo, almost too late, learns that searchlights are NOT better then tanning beds for getting rid of that pasty-white squeaker look.

canon on mossie like on b25 mossie had one for ships

Other fighter-bomber variants were the Mosquito FB Mk XVIII (sometimes known as the Tsetse) of which 27 were made by converting Mk VIs. These were fitted with a Molins 57 mm cannon, a 6 pounder anti-tank gun modified with an auto-loader to allow both semi- or fully-automatic fire, in the nose, along with two .303 in (7.7 mm) sighting machine guns. The Air Ministry initially suspected that this variant would not work, but mock tests proved otherwise. Although the gun provided the Mosquito with yet more anti-shipping firepower to pit against U-boats, it required a steady and vulnerable approach-run to aim and fire the gun, thus making rockets more effective, especially because Mosquitos without the 6 pounder didn't suffer the weight penalty of the gun. The FB Mk 26 and FB Mk 40, based on the Mk VI, were built in Canada and Australia and were powered by Packard-built Merlin engines
