Westland Whirlwind

Britain
a) Beaufighter

And stop asking for the P-61. Just take up a light B-26.

Well I guess a light B26 would do for the Beaufighter as well

p63!!!

The Beaufighter was just a teeny tiny bit* more significant to WWII than the P-61 was.


*I lied, it was incalculably more significant than the P-61.

Im not arguing historical significance , im responding to the performance comparison made.  To be honest ,I'm not arguing at all.
Most planes mentioned would be hanger queens after a month in all but special events arena's , P61 included.

Everything I mentioned on that list I posted would see notable use in the LWMA.  I ought to have put the P-61 there as well, but it skipped my mind.  I am not advocating anything on that list, simply giving people who want something that would be usable in the MA an idea of what to read about so they can ask for something specific.

Oh... not your list karnak .  I was looking at the guys list that gave me crap for mentioning the P61 .

The Beaufighter would most definitely not be a hanger queen.   My 38G would spend a lot more time in the hanger though as I'd be in a Beau

[Interceptor]

Totally agree : this plane, in its own Tier, would be great to fly in a df for sure ! 

D.520!!!

Beaufighter would be awesome and it would affect more than one arena.

Do-217 might be the most capable non- perked Luftwaffe bomber, depending on if an He-177 would be perked. Imagine a Tu-2 with a B-17's bomb load all internally.

[FTJR]

IL-2 with PTAB anti-tank bombs would be nicer...

Based on my observations of the last 16 years of everyone beeeoching missing plane sets...we need:

Britain
a) Beaufighter
b) Vickers Wellington
c) Avro Anson

Anson? Unless I am much mistaken it was pressed into service as a anti submarine machine but that as close as it got.

Hudson/ Ventura would be more useful.

Yup, that is why I put it on my list on the first page along with the He177A-5 and Ju188A-1.  Personally I think the Ju188 would prove more survivable than the Do217, but they both clearly would see use.  The only plane that I forgot, as far as I can tell, is the P-61.  Nobody has mentioned anything else that is LWMA viable that isn't on my first page list.

[Lazerr]

If we perk a few speed demons and cannon dweeb rides in the main populated MA.. a lot of these planes would see use,  and the fights would be like they were 10 years ago.  FUN.

[Ack-Ack]

I'm still waiting for a jeep with a recoilless rifle.

You're in for a long wait, jeeps with recoilless rifle weren't used in WW2, that didn't come until after the war and was used in Korea.  The closest thing a jeep came to having a recoilless rifle were the field mods used by a lot of recce units that would mount 1 or 2 bazookas with an armored shield on their jeep.  It wasn't to engage other armored vehicles, it was to engage machine gun emplacements or other hard points like roadblocks.
