This is only a game to you.

To others, this is history at their fingertips.

Use that pathetic little brain of yours, or even scroll through the wealth of knowledge this
50 page thread has.
wow, i love how you assume that this is ONLY a game to me.
that ive stuck around for it over 7 yr because its JUST a game.
that i pay $14.99 to play it because its JUST a game
That i put up with narcissistic A-holes like you because its JUST a game.

sure, i could sit here and read threw all 50 pages. or someone could be nice enough to sum up all 50 pages within a few sentences.

why dont YOU use that pathetic little brain of yours and do just that? or STFU. My question was not to a child who believes himself to be a better person than others on a forum topic.

The Beaufighter has its own unique little niche as far as the MA is concerned, it is a fighter bomber that can carry a torpedo. Torpedo bombing is suicidal in AH but I like to try it every now and again, the four Hispanos would give it that little extra appeal over 88s or a TBM.

You could even run "Banff Strike Wing" missions to attack CVs. Beaufighters escorted by Mustangs use their rockets to take out some of the fleet's AA before dropping down to the deck to launch torpedoes. It is never going to be the most efficient way to take out a CV while level bombers have such ridiculously high accuracy in AH, but it ought to be fun and would be a more historically accurate way of doing it.

So did anyone count how many posts it took BAR321 to get his M-18?...... :D

how much use would it even see in AH?

Be a bit ironic if it got this big of a fanbase, only to become a hanger queen within a few months.
As it stands now with the game the Beaufighter won't have it's traditional targets. That aside with this game many things we do have are used for other things than what they were meant for.

At some points cargo fleets & transports will appear & then the Beau will be in it's element.

No, I stopped at eleven, but I would hope that the Beau will present itself soon

I figure BAR must have some dirt on HTC.  We've been much more complete in our information and have been asking about the Beau for a long time.   That or large amounts of cash and scotch were involved! :)

It would be perfect for designing New scenarios with the complete planeset required.

Think of the points gained in the MA by a squad doing a co-ordinated attack on nmy targets.

Hey, but ... According to Brooke... The 410 and Beau are the same plane.  You guys can still get a Beau thru the 410
