Why does everyone like the Beaufighter so much?

Just curious.

I’d like to see it because it served for most of the war on multiple different fronts. Would be great for special events/FSO.

Although most of the planes on that list would also be good for that so I voted for them too lol

Wow the Mig-3 has come outta nowhere to reach 2nd place.  Wasn't even on the poll last year.  Wonder if its related to IL-2 Battle of Moscow recent release?

I also forgot about the Hs.129...

It just looked mean to me. Could probably use more Russian planes.

I'd preferably like to see more late mid war planes, which ever those might be. Just my opinion, but I feel they make the best fighter action.

Sounds reasonable. The mossie and P38 need more competiton! And 110 for that matter.

This. Served on every front from 1941 until the end of the war in a variety of roles. It was the true workhorse of the RAF.

Last year (January 2017), my poll consisted of only 12 aircraft and you could vote for only one.

Back then there were 63 voters and the top vote-getter was the Fiat G.55 Centauro with 21%, followed by Beaufighter at 17%, Meteor at 14%, and King Cobra at 11%.

Hope we get more voters this year!

The EasyPoll software doesn't support ranking choices, unfortunately.   You get what you pay for :)

Good point.  Lol

I think most important is adding planes made in other countries in support of those players in other parts of our world.

Well done poll OBOE.

The Fokker D.XXIII never made it past the prototype stage so would not qualify for inclusion in AH- but, 50 Fokker G.1 were made and saw combat, so that one could fit with our early War plane set.  Cool-looking aircraft as well:



I'll include it in next year's poll.    :salute

You're right about that, Kanth!   I'd thought briefly about including vehicles, too, since we don't have any British tanks in game and wondered whether people would want a chance to vote on those too...

Haha your right! But i was only joking and the propeller at the back looks awesome.

But it would be very cool to have some Fokker planes in AH  :angel:
