Cheers and thanks for your and the rest of TD's great work!

Best way of work is when some gent's take care about planes from their own regions ...

in that case planes made definitely with love and attention for details ... plus read Tech.info on foreign language is really difficult ... like it was with L2D ...

and for now we don't have any person from GB to take care about Blenheim ... but it is really needed plane ...

I understand your problem very well!

The Blenheim would be a great plane to have as a flyable. But also the Beaufort and Wellington would be very nice! But any Aircraft you guys manage to get flyable is a great addition to the game according to me!
Are there any plans to introduce any new map suitable for the Lancaster?

You boys do good work! Really good work!

I think that language fluency is more important than nationality. Any 3d modeler who is a native English-language speaker should be able to do a decent job with British-built aircraft.

Where nationality helps is access to preserved aircraft and high-quality reference materials.

The Beaufort would be a great asset to have as a flyable. It would fill the gap for a Commonwealth torpedo bomber for the early to mid war in the ETO, the MTO and the PTO.

The Swordfish would be a great aircraft aswell when it comes to torpedo bombers as a flyable.

And I really hope one day we will get to see the Wellington as a flyable aswell so there is atleast one British medium bomber. And I have the same hopes for the MS 406/410/Mörkö or the Dewotine 520 aswell.

I would like to see the Blenheims, the Beauforts, the Wellington and
the MS 406 (/410/Mörkö aswell) allready present as AI aircraft made flyable to be used on the up comming Channel map.

The Dewotine 520 would also be a nice addition to have.

Also the Swordfish would be a nice addition to the RN.

It's a LOT of work to make all those bombers flyable.

I'd just be happy with a flyable Blenheim since it could double duty with both the Finns and UK/Commonwealth forces. Of all the British medium bombers in the game, it was probably the most ubiquitous.

The D.520 is on my short list of fighters to be added to the game. Given that it was used in limited numbers by the Italians, and was used by the Vichy French in North Africa, it would be a nice addition to a Mediterranean campaign.

You're in luck! There's alrelady an AI Swordfish I in the game.

But, a flyable Swordfish would be another great addition to a Mediterranean campaign. It also saw some service in the English Channel, notably during the "Channel Dash." There's also that little incident with the German battleship . . .

And, if TD wanted to do a quick and easy upgrade, they could add the Mk.II (early) Swordfish to the game. The main difference between the Mk. I and early versions of the Mk. II Swordfish was that the latter had metal reinforcements on the lower wing so it could carry rockets and the inner bomb racks were removed. Later versions of the Mk.II added a more powerful engine with slightly enlarged oil cooler and extended flame-dampening exhausts, as well as greater overall mass.

The Mk.II, as well as later war versions of the Mk. I also were fitted with ASV radar - with antennae fitted below the lower wing or onto the wing bracing wires.
