I think they just saw a historically accurate chance to introduce a couple of aircraft that would be useful for a future Mediterranean/N.Africa add-on and took it.

Don't know if it's underpowered in terms of HP per specific power settings but what it's actually missing is it's WEP setting and we all know WEP in CoD is a temporary thing, so i don't expect a lot of performance improvements.

That's pretty much accurate however, in one case a few of them were scrambled against a Blenheim that was overflying their airfield in Belgium through low cloud cover (either on a reconnaissance or a lone intruder mission) and they couldn't catch it.

What is it good for then? Set up a QMB mission against some gladiators and see for yourself, it's actually pretty good fun
