My desire to fly a Swordfish in AH is still overwhelming, so - time for another BUMP.

I detect a serious need arising from a very small number of toon pile-it dweebs who have a strong desire for something to make them whine endlessly about the lack of performance in their new "cool plane"...just to have what will inevitably become a hangar queen faster than it took for the WWI "cool factor" to wear off.

Me thinks you miss the point entirely...

While the "subset" that has a fascination with "less then stellar" aircraft is certainly somewhat small its far from being "pile-it dweebs".  For some of us a lot of fun involves figuring out how to be competitive in an airframe viewed as substandard by most of the player base.

You bump the thread, i bump my reply

Wasn't important in any carrier attacks. important in the sinking of Bismark, and in blowing the French out of the water, but in AH a 130mph biplane attacking the ridiculous very late war type ack over carriers would be suicidal
 
 
To add, in your defence, and in retaliation at ridiculous fleet ack, when the stringbag first attacked the Bismark, 52 AA guns fired on 16 stringbags with 0 kills
