My "order of importance" for British aircraft goes something like this:

Historical need:
Beaufighter
Wellington

MA need:
Fairey Firefly
Meteor Mk III

Minor historical need:
Barracuda
Battle
Beaufort
Blenheim
Gladiator
Halifax
Hampden
Skua
Sterling
Swordfish
Whirlwind
Whitworth

Bad idea:
Defiant


When you come right down to it, the Gladiator was not a significant participant in WWII, so I really wouldn't contest it with the Firefly.

where does the lysander come in all this??
 dun forget it was widely used to transport spies across the channel...  :rofl

It doesn't. A Fi. 156 Storch would better serve us in the game. It would be easier to land in the small meadows to deliver GV supps (mostly due to its huge flaps) if that was one of the things HTC would have them do.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

come on... the channel isn't that far apart...even sailing from portsmouth to france.. doesn't take 5-8 does it? but i really can't see the lysander being of any use in the game..

True, but even at convergence, I've had many a plane slip away. For some odd reason I've been getting a lot of mirical shots with the crap guns lately though. I shot my 7.92s in the 190A5 and took out a 109K4 from D1000 out with a pilot kill.


Nose mounted guns hmmmmmmm...... maybe that had something to do with it.
