did anyone do a comparison of the Beaufighter and Me410? hate to see another drag get added :(

     If you don't like the Beaufighter, don't fly it.  That way it will effect your game exactly like it does now, not at all.

Should we really consider something a fighter when it is slower and less maneuverable than some contemporary multi-engined bombers?

The 410 handles like an overloaded Banglasdeshi ferry.

One of these would be nice:

Boomerang
G.55
Yak 3
IAR 81C

Upgrading the old models would be nice too.

You accidentally left off the Ki-43-II, Ki-44-II and J2M3/J2M5.

Was only stating my preference.  The Boomerang would only have a small cult following, but I would fly it.  The other three planes would get some decent use. 
Still not sold on the Ki-43.  It would turn like a frisbee, but the weak firepower and lack of speed give it less of a chance than an A6M2 or C.202.  The other Japaneesy planes would get used.

Guess the P-40C ain't a fighter as well then  :P

Nobody said "good fighter" or "supreme air superiority fighter". Just because some people are disappointed, it doesn't make it a bomber, and last time i checked it was still put under 'fighter' in the hangar ;)

Not that I disagree with you as my post was in jest, but which contemporary multi-engined bomber out performs the P-40C?

I don't think the B-38 is contemporary.  The earliest B-38 we have is the B-38G from 1943.  P-40C is really a 1940 or 1941 version.

By the way, I took a look at the archives. The additions in the past 2 years:

4 fighters
4 bombers/attackers
4 vehicles


Time for a new ship I'd say...  ;)

Ah.  I was thinking the Boston Mk III might out perform the P-40C.
