Actually, the B-25J should be first. It was used a bit more than the Beaufighter. This way it can be included in a lot more special events.



It needs the tail gunner position with formations.

No, the Beaufighter won the last poll and as such should be the next addition. It might actually help numbers in the game. Rather doubting your numbers anyway since about 4,400 J's were built versus 5,500 Beaufighters being built in Britain alone.

B-26 was the Mitchell, A-26 was the Invader.

Catalina would be a hanger queen, there is no real role for the PBY in game, other than player made up roles like having it act like an AWACS.

It was, my  mistake.  Was thinking of the previous post on the B-25J.

Not built more. Used more...

That you cannot refute. But, this thread is specifically for Special Events. The B-25J will max out the number scenarios and other events that can be created in AH. The Beaufighter and the "J" are not in the same class of aircraft, ones a bomber the other is a dedicated attack aircraft. We're looking for the right bomber to fill some gaps. The "J" fill a gap in every theater. The Beaufighter North Sea, Norway, some MTO, North Africa and Far East.

We really need the bomber.

I truly would love to see more aircraft models (Sparviero!) added to AH but, alas, I fear we likely won't. Although there are indeed a few models that would help events and maybe even one or two that would see use in the MA, the inventory we have is pretty rich and I suspect AHIII has reached the point of evolution where maintenance and oversight take precedence. I might start suggesting that players try out some of the other toys they've never touched (or hardly). The perspective of 'new' can be overshadowing 'untried.'

I know .... wishlist. Just a little PSA. :)

Yes I can. I just did. The Beau served from 1940 until the end of the war. The earliest use of the B-25 was April 1942.

Well then! The Sparviero entered service in 1936 and served `til 1952 (1959 in Lebanon).

Never mind, others got here first.
