Do the USAAF night fighter squadrons flying Beaufighters upgrade to to the P-61 Or the Mossie? I take it they are still in the game.
Other than that it looks OK to me.

416NFS was flying Mosquito NF.XXX in 45
417NFS started converting to P-61A (from Beaufighter VIF) late Mar45

Don't know anything about these units.

Were they doing intruder ops in 43 or in a defensive role ?

If the latter, then they could be dropped.

Defensive operations in North Africa and over convoys in 43.

Not sure about stopping kittyhawks, but then I am not an authority on anything...

Will there be enought Maurarder III units in theater to form a quorum? Or will they just end up running the odd circus?

Yes, we will make sure the STRAT commands get their 51D's. Originally when you passesd a certain date, then all units in the Strat commands were set to take 51D's exclusively... Of course, there have to be enough for this to work...

for the 51's, works for me, we should maybe base it on when the first of the 8th FG's started to change over,

okay a note, the CW bomber names have been changed

the A-20 Boston III

will be called a Boston III

while the US model will be the A-20H

the B-25 Mitchell II

will be the Mitchell II

and the B-25D

and so on

and just a case in point, they are not the same plane with a different name, they are different models

The BCE Kittyhawk IV should upgrade to the Mustang III (which will need to carry 2 x 500lb bombs for use in 2nd TAF and Med Air Command), while the P-40L in the 12th AF should upgrade to one of the P-47D variants in early 1944.

Hi Galvin
 
sorry mate, I had to hold off on the Spit 21, outside of my command type deal, I am hoping after the release, to be able to add it with a patch

Fair enough, even I will have to admit it's not a top priority. Fixing some of the old bugs is better worth your efforts and should dramatically improve the game. I agree with the idea that the F.21 should be put on hold until you're happy with the main aspects of the gameplay, and then revisit it with a later patch if time permits.

it is more a art work thingy, the artwork was already locked in, and at the time, they where not thinking about adding the plane, later on, we may be able to do some work arounds and get it added, along with others
