On the subject of night fighters, I'd like to see the Bolton-Paul Defiant, known to Luftwaffe night bomber crews as "The Steel Bat".

It would make for a good two player team mission aircraft needing one player to pilot and one player to operate the turret guns.

The Blenhiem II and Blenhiem IV night fighters with belly mounted gun packs would be another interesting aircraft to fly.

The Bristol Beaufighter was a more successful night fighter than the Mosquito.

On the subject of the few WW2 fighter aircraft that aren't in IL-2 yet, any chance of the Chinese Airforce lend-lease Republic P-43 "Lancer" and Vultee P-66 "Vanguard"??
