Beaufiter

[Nilsen]

You have my vote for the Beaufighter.

Id like to add the He111 and Me410.

It wasn't a copy, it just happened to also be made of wood. Apparently the otherwise exceptional German engineering of the time didn't apply to adhesives. These things liked to disintegrate in flight, just like the He-162, and for the same reason. Apparently Heinkel had already reserved the name "Shredding Plywood Coffin" for the 162, so Kurt Tank just went with "Moskito" (maybe he figured he could blame it on the British ).

The British bombed the factory which made the glue for the 'Moskito', so they had to use another type which wasn't very effective

Two thumbs up for the Beau to be added to the AH inventory!

Ok I have stirred the pot, here goes, the ta 154 Moskito was a direct copy of the mosquito, and being of wood, had some huge glue problems, however, getting back to the beaufiter(wow) how we get here, there is no real equivelent in any airforce, hard hitting, very ellusive and pretty good top speed(329mph at sl), we really need this brit how ya doing sorry had to ruin yer day fiter in the AH air force.  AND PLEASE the HS 129 doesnt even come close...........I SAY GOOD DAY!

Direct copy? With a tandem cockpit and a nose wheel? The only thing they had in common was ... wood.

I believe hiel Hitler said gibt mir eine mossie and the ta 154 was born. YES adhessives Yes the tandom Yes the slower plane but EEEEEEEEEK it was developed in 6 months and really had no after work done on it.  Then you have the He 219 and the super ju88 night fiter coming in, WHY(OH YES WHY) would you keep another plane for the same purpose

Ya it was made from wood it was made for night fighting.

[teufl]

Reeely the mossie was made from wood, the beaufighter was YES originally a night fiter but found its own in ground attack.  Dont know if it was wood but it gives me wood to see it in the game

We've been suggesting the Beaufighter for a long time.

Always better to spell it right in the thread title I'd think

[Ghosth]

Beaufighter is long long overdue. Yep, we want it, we need it, big plus for scenarios and FSO's.

Actually this last patch left me very unimpressed.
I was sure we would see at the very least the 410.

It was a good patch fix wise, but nothing new at all? Come on!
You KNOW we are addicts, you made us this way.
Have a little pity. Give us something NEW to fly please!

[RTHolmes]

for Filton's finest

[JimmyC]

[Denholm]

Do we get night along with it?

Maybe we see something after or at the con?

410 had no real qualities cept guns/ I still think the remote control rear guns gives skuzy more head aches than just hangovers.  410 was a bomber killer and as far as gv attack, bout  the same as 110 but with less performance and if i remember a real spinner, OK for girls but not gv attack.   ALWAYS must see how they are modeled.  Also a mossie want a be, what 376 ar 15k, wel some speed   Sorry for mis spelling but heck with 4 20mm and 6 303, i can mispell keel too
