Halifax was a great plane. I just dont see it being that different to a Lancaster.

A Halifax B.III would be pretty cool, with the 4 gun top and tail turrets.

they are different than the lancasters

it looks like a B-24 and a Lanc mixed into 1

The Wellington and the Halifax both preceeded the Lancaster. These three planes (Lancaster, Wellington a.k.a. "Wimpey", and Halifax) made up the mainstay of Bomber Command throughout the entire war. Especially the early war. As it is we really only have the Lancaster for brit level bombers, and it's mid-war at best. We need the Wellington and the Halifax to better represent the early planeset. While they could still carry good loads (I think the Halifax also carried 14x 1k bombs) they were lightly defended and slower, and had much less powerful engines.

I say we need both! Halifax AND Wellington!!!

The Wellington was supposed to be VERY sturdy, due to its latice-work wooden frame. Suppose that means it could take a lot of damage, but once it caught fire I guess it'd be like B24s (evil grin here).

so the Halifax is slower than the lanc:confused: and the lanc is already as slow as a turtle so why would we want a bomber slower than the lanc:huh

Hallibag was the first to have H2S (ground mapping radar) I suppose that would make it original.

(see the belly dome on furballs 2nd pic)

However Lanc also had H2S and the B17 latterly had a H2X option
