Blitz is in 1941... but in 1941 you have cannons spitfires and 12 machineguns hurris. and E7

Found a referece to Beaufighters in the Battle of Britain

"Entry into Fighter Command service came during August 1940 with the Fighter Interception Unit at Tangmere. The following month, five squadrons received the Mark 1F equipped with Mark IV Air Intercept radar for night-fighter duties although the type's first kill wasn't until November of that year."

So even though they didn't get a kill they were still in service?

Cheers!
