Post by: Karnak on January 30, 2008, 08:28:04 PM: Over 11,000 Wellingtons were built.

A Wellington B.Mk III (1,519 built, primary RAF bomber in 1941-42, acceptable standing for the Mk I of 1938 and Mk II of 1940 )would be a great addition to AH.

Slow at ~250mph so early war Axis fighters can actually catch it, unlike the Boston Mk III.

Light defenses, two .303s in the nose turret, one .303 in each beam and four .303s in the tail turret. Heavy enough to be a threat to early war fighters, but light enough to be managable for them.

Tough, geodetic construction gives the bomber a fighting chance despite the .303 defenive guns. The Wellington was quite possibly the toughest two engined aircraft of WWII.

4,500lb bombload is a useful warload, but not imbalancingly large for early war settings.

Makes for an interesting choice between the Ju88A-4, Boston Mk III, B-25C, G4M2 (when it comes) and Wellington Mk III (when it comes) for the EW arena.

I remember flying a Bf109E-4 in a snapshot that was run way back in AH1 days. It was a German Invasion of Norway setting and the RAF was equipped with Hurricane Mk Is and Boston Mk IIIs. I don't remember the goals, but I do remember fighting the RAF players until my cannon ammo was dry and I was on the deck. I tried to disengage and was easily pulling away from the Hurricanes. But even on WEP the RAF's Boston Mk IIIs were slowly overtaking my Bf109E-4, and while I had no doubts about my ability to fight a Boston even armed with just two 7.92mm machine guns, I could not fight the Hurricanes at the same time. Bluntly, the premier Axis fighter in the setting was chased down and forced to turn by the RAF's "bomber". The Hurricanes just took credit for the kill.

Imagine how bad off the A6M2 is against the Boston.

We need an early war Allied bomber that can be dealt with by the early war Axis fighters, but one that Allied players still find useful (so no Battles or Blenheims) and I think the Wellington B.Mk III is the best one for it.

Post by: Angus on January 31, 2008, 03:38:34 AM: Would like her, but I'd think it's going to be a while. Would like to see the He-111 as well.
For just the BoB, an earlier Stuka, and a He-111 would fit in nicely. It is frustrating chasing our Ju-88 in a Hurricane....
BTW, wasn't UBI making a BoB sim (on Il-2 engine)?
