Thing is, I'd be willing to bet that when we get the Beaufighter we only get one version of it. We only had a single mark of the Mossie for nearly a decade and are still missing core versions of the Mossie. I really don't see use getting more than one Beaufighter, so the question is which makes the most sense and can any of them bye hybrided the way the I-16 is to effectively give us two or three versions all in one package?
I like this.
I've seen the PE2 in another sim that was "hybrided" by virtue of selecting the loadout in the hangar.
PE3 was one of the loadouts.
It would allow aces high to reduce the amount of plane numbers in cases of variants that are close performance wise but vary greatly in loadouts.
