True, not in the May 1941Crete campaign, per se. Other Brit convoys were attacked by LW, with losses of cruisers, destroyers, transports etc...but no Brit carrier operations.

However, Brit carriers Ark Royal and Illustrious and one or two others were active in Med in 1940 (for example, Illustrious in attack upon Taranto in Nov 1940). Later, in summer '42, several carriers were active and Indomitable, specifically, was attacked by LW Stukas.

Game already has the AI Glad so it could be implemented fairly easily. It was also the first defending land based fighter on Malta. The Italians would need the MC-200 for early Malta, and MC-202 for late plus and SM-79.
I agree. Swordfish would be a Must-have aircraft (see note about Taranto, above), and Macchi 200 and 202's also. FYI, if interested in Malta Gladiators, see the "Faith, Hope, and Charity" IL-2 movie here: http://www.flightsimmachinima.com/fa...en-productions
