What about the Henschel Hs-123, the plane in which Adolf Galland began his career...

the Hs-123 was already obsolete at the start of the war. Slow, small loadout, small guns, hangar queen.

They ought to put in the Swordfish.  Not tell anyone.  Just do it.  No promos or advertising.

That applies to any biplane you could add. Most have a top speed in the 200mph area and almost all that I've seen so far are armed with 2 rifle caliber machine guns.

Gloster Gladiators had a top speed of, IIRC, ~265mph and were armed with four .303 machine guns.  I believe the CR.42 of the Italians was faster and comparably armed.
