Hitech should make you guys sign wavers befor he introduces new rides.

I agree that counter to my fond imagination most new aircraft introduced by HTC will not perform to my expectations.

On the other hand it will be great oodels of fun having Yak3, Whirlwinds and Beaufighters. And Ki-whatevers and He - howevers and Ju - someevers and G - pastadeoodels and and and.......IAR - harharhars......Oh and a Boomerrang for christmass. And maybe some spiced MigLaag in my hot rum.............

It would even be nice if HTC snuck us a few sneek peeks of coming attractions.

You must have missed the memo on the He111 being the next addition to AH.   :aok

The Beau would be mainly a scenario ride but anything with four Hizookas in the nose ought to see some use in the MA. However from a fighter standpoint it is hard to see why anyone would choose a Beaufighter over a Mosquito. It will be a fair bit slower and probably less maneuverable than the Mossie.

OTOH from a strike aircraft POV it ought to be a bit tougher than the Mossie and would have the option of carrying a torpedo and eight rockets. A Banff Strike Wing style mission with torpedo armed Beaus escorted by P-51s might be fun. The Beaus could come in high, drop some of the fleet's AA with rockets and then make their torp runs. It is never going to be as efficient in taking out a fleet in AH as using buffs, but a lot more realistic. Once the ord is gone the Beau would have a better chance vs fighters than any other torp armed aircraft.

The Beaufort is beat it to death with a stick ugly as well... imho...

Now... for a downright SEXAY maritime patrol craft...




Of course, she's slower than Helen Keller baiting a mouse trap....

But hey, it might give Kate a self-esteem boost as she wouldn't be the slowest plane in the arena anymore... (The storch isn't a plane.)

Hmmm... join me in the O'Club for a sexiest planes of WW2 thread my good sir...

Let's see how long until it degenerates into a flame war over how the 190 in AH isn't modeled with the proper carbon fiber durasteel it was REALLY made out of according to wikipedia...
