Yep.  Participate accurately in scenarios from the Bismarck Sea to the CBI (where the Mossie didn't last due to the heat effects on the wooden wonder) to North Africa etc.

The Aussies used it extensively in the PTO alongside the 5th AF.  And as mentioned the TMkX lugged a mean torpedo along with the rocket or bomb loads it could take as a fighter bomber.

Again I don't disagree on the He-111 or Ki-43 as they both are needed to expand the scenario plane set.  I don't see either as being highly used in the MA.  In essence the He-111 is on the list to make sure the Battle of Britain can be run better.  The Ki-43 would fill a big gap in the Japanese plane set and help with early-midwar PTO scenarios

To me, the Beau has the best opportunity to see extensive use in both scenarios and the MA as it was active from 1940-45 and fits the MA due to it's variety of ord loadout and the low level aspects of the game.  

I don't see another bird on the list that provides the most 'bang for the buck' in all aspects of AH.



nice explanation.  So how about that m-18 Hellcat? :D

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

Aces High NEEDS a He-111.  Most of you would WANT 50/50 split between Beaufighter/Me-410.

Actually, the 111 has the lead.

Do-52 < should've been added 10yrs ago

You mean Ju-52, I guess?

Why does everyone want the He-111? I'm betting that it will get massacred in the MA just like the 88 does now. Only place it will be effective is in EW, and 50 people play in EW.

FSO = once a week, and not every FSO is going to have a He111 involved.
BOB = once every 1-2 years
And explain how it is awesome please.
I'm not trying to be an ass, but there will not be much use for this in the MA's, where the majority of the action takes place.
