I love the Typhoon and Tempest. I'd pay for either of them to be modeled and added (with cockpit! ;) )
Glad the Hurricane is in there tho. It had to be though, really. Can't have a Battle of Britain campaign without it!

i'll be flying the hurricane online to!! it may lack speed against the later models, but it has eight .303 machine guns so enough to do adequate damage, and its a sturdy gun platform, and can turn very very well!! people will see you flying the hurricane and see you as an easy kill........ more fool them!! you fly the little lady well enough and she'll see you through and look after you.

would be nice to use the typhoon though, with that huge radiator and them 4 hispano cannons..... deadly. Would be a superb aircraft of choice for the demo mission where you use the P51.

However, they slowed the aircraft down and cause a roll instability to the left, as the K-4 was designed to be a high-speed interceptor and as such, sucked at low speed. They only put them on the Stuka as an afterthought, since it was the only low-speed attack plane in the inventory. Low-level, low-speed was contrary to everything the Luftwaffe was trying to do.

Cheers, I will see if I can find a copy of the book in my Library or Amazon.
