 Ok, ok I'm dreaming but why not a
Beaufighter?

= A non yank/Wobble a/c
= Anti Shipping..which means:
= Torpedoes!
     
the MkVIC to MkX had:
4x20mm
6x.303-in (4 in Stb wing,2 in port)
a .303-in, or VickersK gun in rear turret
up to 8 rockets, 500lbs of bombs
and of course a Torp


         

Bring on the whispering death

   Just asking....

Wow, that thing could put some major hurt down, i think it would make a good meduim price perk ride.

[Jimdandy]

May I add:

2 1,670hp Bristol Hercules VI or XVI radials

Top speed 333mph at 15,600ft

7.8 min to 15,000ft

Now compare to a B-26

2 2,000hp Pratt & Whitney R-2800-43 radials

Top speed 282 mph at 15,000ft

24.5 min to 15,000ft

Nice little plane the Bristol Beaufighter I would say.

[-tronski-]

Well I figure..we've got the fleet, and the ships...now lets  kill em!
It'd be if not the best, then one of the great antishipping platforms avail.

 Yes please add one, The British/ Commonwealth need another plane so why not, I do not think it needs perking though.

I think the Beaufighter would be a great addition. But before they add it I really would like to see the Mosquito added. The Mossy Mk VI with the four 20mm and four .303's with 2 500lb bombs and eight rockets or four 500lb bombs. The reason I'd like to see the Mossy first is because it was on of the best known British aircraft and it really should be represented on AH.

[Ripsnort]

No, because its just too ugly.
J/K.

Beaufighter works for me! But I'd say leave the Mosssie until later. It's needed, too, but I'd prefer to see the Beaufighter, first.

Beaufighter needs no perk...

Oh there's always some LW character that has to throw in his two bits.  

So I will too.   He 219. The Mossy/Beaufighter bane.

In case their was some confusion LJK Raubvogel, It is always understood/implied that I want a Me 410 before anything, no matter how enamored with the Beaufighter  i may be Me 410 UBER ALLIS!!!!!!(unfortunately the Brits have fewer birds currently than the Germans so It may be their turn first if that is how it works that is,of course the Italians and the Japanese are before them....)

The 'Brits' are getting a 392mph at sea level G10 climbing monster, they can wait.

[-tronski-]

Maybe, but what we 'need' is a dedicated attack a/c, which the Beau would fill.
I agree the FB/Bomber version of the mossie is a must..but the Beau would be an badly needed anti-shipping asset, which until they maybe give the Ju88 torps, fills a niche the TBM can't ie. killing PT's as well~!
Till then I guess we stick to the Tiffy, and Typh combo..

  Well, how about a Jill, or a Grace, or a P1Y1, or a peggy, or a Ki 102 for Japan
