Forget it.  I posted two flight manuals, sent drawings to HTC of the Beau....couple years ago I believe.

We get the B29 instead.  Got the info from the NASM and found an original flight manual to two models the XX and the torbeau (X).

Dunno what happened.  I rarely play now other things to do.  But the plane that flew in ALL theaters of the War should be in game methinks.

Just my opinion.

I'm pretty sure it will come within a year. It's hard to ignore the longest thread in the wishlist section.

HTC's always done the right thing in the past.

(bats eyes at HT, smiles sweetly)
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Right , lets setup a site dedicated to the Beaufighter inclusion.
Focus on fundraising for the purpose of supplying Craggenmore in a steady stream to the HTC office.

OK so I went a bit overboard.  My tax return gift to myself.  An original Beau Maintenence Manual.  600 pages or so of cutaways, diagrams, details etc.  I guess we can start building our own Beau :)



Maybe the cannon installation first?


Those four 20mms and 1000 rounds of ammo might be kinda fun.  Folks like myself need that big slab of armor plate out front too :)
