I'm all for the Beau.although I think the axis planeset needs improvement first.Ki45 comes to mind or the Me410 with it's Mk 103/30mm of luv.I'm not sure the KI had the punch to takeout GV's but the 410 with 30mm tungsten core ammo or the BK's would do the job.

As you might be able to determine from the name and a smidgen of thought, it isn't a bomber, it is a fighter.

Ok Furbie, you have me intrigued.

Which, what, where?  Looks like a mark 2, but an upper turret?

I get really really tired of selective realism disguised as a desire to make bombers easier to kill.

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 :noid  Sorry for mis spelling but heck with 4 20mm and 6 303, i can mispell keel too

Have to search the data of the 410 A-3 and compare them with the 110 G-2.
The 410 was superior on anything compared to the 110, better climb, really faster, huge armament...it was something like a Mossi with heavy armor, 4 x 20mm and 2 x 30mm + a great bomb and rockets load and 2 x 13mm rear guns.

Quote
The first few Beaufighter Is were delivered without the wing-mounted machine-guns, and initially it was found that when the cannon were fired, the recoil caused the nose to dip enough for the pilot to lose his target. The seriousness of this fault was such that thought was given to alternative armament and, with one pair of cannon and the wing-mounted machine-guns supplanted by a Boulton Paul turret containing four 0.303-in. guns and mounted just aft of the pilot's cockpit, the Beaufighter V was produced. Only two examples (R2274 and R2306) were completed, both being converted Merlin engined Mark IIs, and these were used experimentally by No. 29 Squadron during the early months of 1942, but the installation of the turret drastically reduced performance, and the Beaufighter V was abandoned.

 :D

Check out the radar on it too.

It was like a Mossie, except Spitfire Mk IXs were capable of running one down and killing it.
