Simple.

Besides the US and UK. One of the largest contingents of AH2 players is Australia....

including myself, Lyric, Phatty, FTJR and alot of quite notable players. Who tear it up in the MA quite often.

We would LOVE, our only native fighter, just so we can blast about in something we can be patriotic about..

plus, just look at it. Its sexy AND cute... with 20mms...

Interesting to see that it could rest on its wheels without the wings, similar to the 109, but of course its wheel base is wider, more stable.

Now we are getting the Storch, it completely invalidates the "didn't shoot down any planes" theory. So I guess there is now one less reason not to have it.

There has never been a "didn't shoot down any planes" theory.  AH v1.00 had the C-47A in it.

Actually I forgot the C47, but many people have used the "theory" (actually not a good description, reason would be better) as to why the Boomerang doesn't warrant inclusion.

I am just stirring the pot Karnak.

Pretty good write up for the Boomerang. 

20mm cannons only had 60 rpg and 7.7mm had 1,000 rpg.  Still would be good for multiple kills.

Also mentions at 10,000 ft, the Boomerang outperformed the P-39D and P-40E in maneuvering tests.
