We gotta keep the faith Lyric.  Hopefully someday we'll get that Beau in here :)

Thanks for the heads up on this one.

Beaufighter came in third in the last poll, beating the Meteor, and the #1 (Me410) and #2 (Yak-3) aircraft on the poll are now both in the game.

Beaufighter will happen.  Maybe not next, but sooner rather than later I think.

Tu-2 is more deserving if you are MA focused.  Beaufighter is more deserving if you are history focused.

I'd say the Soviet and British war plane industries are most deserving of new air frames.

And yes I'd be hard put to think of an air frame NOT in the game that had more impact in the war then the Beau.

Only contenders that I can think of would be the Pe-2 and the Wellington.  Russian and British again.

The SB-2 BEFORE the Pe-2, imo.

Oh, and a major +1 for the Wellington.   :D

The Beaufighter would be nice to have, no doubt.  But me thinks the Mossi Fb Mk IV "limited" to %100 fuel, small ammo load, 2 bombs in bomb bay OR rockets (not both) would suffice for historical scenarios.

Unfortunately for the Beau the things it did best are not really IN the game.

Thats not to say I mean it wouldnt be an effective air frame in AH, cause it would. But in real life is was a terror to shipping and a very good night fighter, which we dont really have. http://youtu.be/auHYZrNK9wk

My favorite story of the Beau is of the famous 30 squadron RAAF and The Battle of The Bismarck Sea. http://www.battleforaustralia.org.au/2906/Overview/Battle_Bismarck/

Heres some nice shots of it. http://youtu.be/YVLV67xILI4
