Bristol Beaufighter

[BudHeavy]

My experience with the Tu is limited I admit, and you all make excellent observations. If we ever get the Beau it may well become my fave attack ride, as the B25H and P40N are now. Flying the older and more challenging birds is just my way of being different, I suppose. The Beau would fit my personality and I gravitate towards the more rugged rides because I tend to collect alot of damage any time I sortie.

The minute it becomes available, I will likely fly it exclusively for an entire tour.

[Ack-Ack]

From a fighter point of view, I actually find the TuTu's to be delightfully fragile...

Extremely fragile.  A snot nosed kid with a spit wad can shoot down a Tu-2.

Not to mention a Beau lobbing Hispano rounds from 4 nose-mounted cannons, and a bunch of 303s or 0.5s.

Why are we discussing tu-twos in a Beauthread?

Was there another wish for the Beau?

does it matter? no planes have been added to this game since jan 2014

You do realize that the reason there hasn't been any major additions to the game is because HTC is working on a new version[/b] of the game.

You do realize you are pissing into the wind with this response?

I don't think the Beau will see more use than the 110 when it comes to hitting a town in the end.  Though I would expect to see more Beau's on towns than 410's though.  My question would be if we'd get a "hybrid" Beau or if we'll get a couple variants.

It carries a torpedo, and I know of three people that would love to fly this plane regularly. I include myself in that desire.

[guncrasher]

I know of more than 4 people that would love to fly at a26.  so the a26 should be added first than somewhere down the line after every other airplane has been added, the beau should be added to make you 4 guys happy  .

Beaufighter will likely see more use than the A-26 due to the free and high ENY nature of the Beaufighter and perked and low ENY nature of the A-26.  Assuming the Beaufighter's ENY is as high or higher than the Mosquito Mk VI's.

according to reports only 4 guys will be using it.

Which reports?  Challenge said he knew four guys that would be using it, not that only four guys would be using it.  Being intentionally obtuse is unbecoming of you.

Besides, the Beaufighter is an Early War plane that was in service until 1960! The A26 didn't come along for two more years, but didn't see action until four years after the Beaufighter. I would have to ask Lyric to research it, but I believe there were more variants and roles for this aircraft than even the Bf-109. The Beaufighter is already long overdo around here.

[Zimme83]

The role for the beaufighter would probably be something similar to the 110, it is too slow to survive as a pure fighter so the option left is a s a suicide JABO or in the NOE strike missions.
It's not a reason to not add it though, more planes is always better.
