I don't think any EW or MW birds have a chance to win a vote if there is a LW capable aircraft in the vote. Not sure where Beau qualifies but due to good armament it should do good, unless there is Meteor in the vote...
Maybe HTC should have two branches of development:
Branch A, voted birds (B29s Me410 etc, mostly LW stuff)
Branch B, historically significant birds that do not hold that much glamour in terms of performance or armament but are essential to have in scenarios (He111, Lagg-3 Mig-3, Vickers Wellington etc) that will be added to game without vote but with some kind of relevance to scenario schedule.
Maybe they could be added in turns: voted bird, scenario bird, voted bird, scenario etc etc.
