Beaufighter

[Docholiday]

Great News !

 

In one picture I saw MK IIIa RP-Rails !!!!?

 

Costal Command used them in combination with drop tanks.  Will You implement Drop tanks for the Mossie too ?

 

 

I am really excited to fly these beautys in the future

Agreed, two thumbs up on getting a Beaufighter, would also like the Blenheim too, for missions in France in the early days on the Normandy map. Escorted by Spitfire Mk.V.

If you want to employ that Tsetse you'll want a map for the Norwegian fjords, plus a map of Scotland with the Coastal Command airfields of Banff and Dallachy as part of the Banff Strike Wing, disrupting the flow of iron-ore to Germany.

Oh, in case I forget, you'll need some Beaufighters as well... (I can dream!)

You bastard. Don't remind me.

I know Mossie are better. But Beufighter is damn cool.

I think Coast of Norway and Scotland is doable. And a realistic wish. Luftwaffe had quite a force there. 

Finland and Norway became my wish #1 when I gave up PTO

The only thing left is a Tirpitz model to sink.

IL2 is not unfamiliar with the Tirpitz.

Maybe they can include one as AI-only?

 

Have a nice day.

Yep, I've been playing il2 since since the legacy version was released. AG-51 the group I flew with the longest used HSFX mod and mainly flew Pacific Fighters when that was released. But I enjoyed flying Mosquitos, Beaufighters on the Norway map against the Tirpitz and all the other ship mods they produced. Even Swordfish against the Italian fleet at anchor in port.

Not really surprising, considering that's about the time it takes from take-off to the front-line...

Bah. Your calculator is broken.

By my calculation it is 3 complete missions, as I say it. Others would say it is 6 incomplete ones. Like the po 2 you can't get close enough to any kind of target if it is protected by minimum a pistol.

I bet on 1 000 meters range torpedo will do the trick before my plane disintegrate by that sniper pistol

Very slightly by the looks you could skin a Hs129b2 as Beaufighter, but it's probably not quite fast enough. Skins later on Haluters, starting with a +
