Yes it would be a massive amount of work, but I would be happy with atleast one flyable British bomber. And I agree with you that the Blenheim would be a prefered addition since it was used by the Finns as well! :)
And the Mk.IV is a beautiful aircraft aswell. :D

But since there are flyable German, Soviet, Japanese, Italian and US medium bombers present in the game allready it would be nice to have a British one like the Wellington aswell just for the heck of it. So from that aspect I would actually prefere a flyable Wellington to a Blenheim.
The Beaufort would be a nice addition as it can be flown for both conventional bomber missions and torpedobombing. However it's last on my interest list when it comes to these three.

Yeah I know the Swordfish is already present as AI, so it was a flyable one I was thinking about in my last comment.
I do like your idea about the Mk.II. Would be nice to have for some sub hunting with rockets hehe. And it would be nice to have some other British carrier born aircraft than just the Seafires. A Sea Hurricane would also fit in here.

Oh well, the wish list just goes on and on haha ;) But no matter which aircraft TD will add in the near or a more distant future, they will be appreciated! :grin:
If one is lucky it might just be the ones on that wishlist hehe

Of all the a.i. aircraft in the stock game the Blenheim IV is the one I'd like to fly the most because it was so ubiquitous. Basically wherever the RAF flew, regardless of the theater, the Blenheim served at some point during the early and mid war periods... BoF, BoB, Norway, Malaya, Burma, NEI, all over the MTO and also with the Coastal Command and with the Finns of course.

But seeing as Channel maps are being developed I'm inclined to make what must be the eleventy billionth request for a flyable mid 1940 production spec Mk I Spitfire! ;)
I realize the maps won't be available for some time and the BoB era version will be the last one to be implemented but as it stands we have three flyable 1940 LW aircraft but only one British, hence the call for the Mk I Spit... and the Blenheim IV :razz:

Given the choice for a real Brit medium bomber, I'd probably go for the Beaufort, just because it looks cool, and is okay in performance.

For the new Channel map, I second the request for an early Spit.
Also while we're in Dreamland, a perfect fit for a Channel map would be the B-26. It looks pretty awesome, was initially hated and then later adored by its crews, was very common over occupied France. Yes of course I know its role can basically filled by either the A-20 or the B-25 for almost any mission, but neither got the same reputation, or the same lines.

The B-26 would be a nice addition! :) Preferably as a flyable off course but AI would be good to! :)

Not sure if this quite classes as a plane or ship request...

But would it be even remotely possible to add CAM ships? That would be quite a different experience, launching with a rocket's kick in the pants, climbing all the way up to splat a HE-111 or a Condor, then seeing if you had enough fuel left to fly to an Allied airbase, crashland on friendly territory, or have to ditch in the sea for pickup!

For a 1942-44 English Channel map the B-26 would be a nice addition.

For the UK, the planes which were most associated with that area are the Typhoon and the Griffon-engined Spitfires, and perhaps some of the mid-war variants of the Beaufighter.

CAM ships and catapult take-offs exist as mods, so they are feasible - although I don't know if the "under the hood" details of the mods iin question would be acceptable to the stock game.

While the Tiffy would absolutely be welcomed, my personal opinion is it looks like a Tempest, performs like a Tempest, is armed like a Tempest, so a Tempest is a very good replacement for it. A Griffon engine Spit would be absolutely nice for later war years, especially against the D-9 and K-4. Beaufighter, any British model would be welcome, even early war ones, and they would also make welcome addition to all Med maps.

Not true on the Typhoon.
Typhoon doesn't perform like a Tempest. At least on the diving speed department.
