Many more pages on the Beaufighter and it was an aircraft that served in all theaters throughout the War.  Requested before the whirlwind also.

A mossi6, beau, whirly and 110G show up to mess up a small airfield. How long will that last.......

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Arlo swore if they blew up everything a giant 1000ft tall bottle of Bock Beer would suddenly appear. Look for BEERWEP in the skinviwer.

Can you imagine being the lucky SOB D9 who hops over to checkout the darbar and thinks he's got a picking vulcherama 4 kill streak? Then he dives in to pick and all 4 HO him and unload long streams of 20mm and 30mm........ That would finally be the magic flying OstiWirbel. Just show up with a squad full of them and burn everything down.

And 200 lights up with it ain't fair perk a,b,c,d while he lobs 88 at them from the last soon to be dead 88 on the field......... :O

And the POST's to wish list perking all of them becasue they are unfair HOing monsters. I want the Beau and Whirly just to see that.

Found this recently. War Blunder so I watched it without sound. Does look good though.



Armament devastating. Nice to see the automatic slats progressively deploying in contrast to the 109's abrupt popping.

Would have loved to have flown this once with AH's flight model.
