i think that will be great that the Bristol Beaufighter night fighter will be flyable and not the BlenheimIV. The Beau have 4 × 20 mm Hispano Mk III cannon (60 rpg) in nose and 6 × .303 in (7.7 mm) Browning machine guns (outer starboard wing). and the BlenheimIV only have 4 x .303.

And will be a nice experience fly a night heavy fighter whit radar included whit a big operational range of combat.

"entered service with the Royal Air Force in July 1940. In the winter of 1940 - 1941 the Beaufighter was used as a night fighter"



"German bombers were relatively free from RAF fighters when attacking at night. The Beaufighter represented an ideal platform for this night fighter role. It was fast enough at 360-MPH to catch German bombers, it was heavily armed, and the observers position was an ideal spot to incorporate a radar operators controls. These night fighter versions were painted a matte black. On October 25, 1940 a Beaufighter recorded its first night victory. The Beaus utilized a transmitting antenna mounted on the nose, and receiving antennas mounted on the leading section of both wings."
