Hi,

your right if you are excluding India/Burma but as these areas are in the game then a torp. carrying Beaufighter did serve,the TF.MK X was used by RAF sqdns as an upgrade from the VIF and the Mosquito [ due to problems with the glue used in the manufacture of the mossy- did not like the humidity]

Hi ,

Ok you like logistics no problem ,your mod , but are you creating a Historical mod? a Beaufighter VIF carring a torpedo is fantasy.

Jap Fanboys didn't think it was fair for the Allies to have them.
So they were left out on purpose.[;)]

Sorry, it wasn't me who made that decision.[:D]

In my database the VIF is a night fighter without a torpedo. Did I post something different? If so it is an error. Possibly you have skipped lines and confused it with the next one below - a X model.

Beaufighter VIF (NF) Night Fighter 10 9 25 10 10 23120 34 0 500 1xTorpedo

sorry Cid the nightfighter seems to have a torpedo !

Great work btw I'm very impressed with you working out the maneuver formula

have you given any thought to making the Fulmar a fighterbomber rather than a fighter !

Dunno how much difference that makes but thats as close as we can get using the rules to its role


Cheers Hipper

A fighter bomber is not very effective (in game code according to the manual and experienced players). I do this for twin engine planes UNLESS like P-38 they are exceptionally maneuverable -
and I do NOT do it for single engine planes - UNLESS very ineffective (there are a few of these).

You are right - in the report it is a typo - but it is right in the database and I corrected the report above. Thanks.
