Is there a possibility of the Blackburn Skua for BoB? Loads of info here;

I just think, when you read the information of it's service up to 1941, and which is well within the limits of BoB time-zone, the Skua would be a great plane to have in the game, and seeing as we are not even at a WIP of the launch game, is it possible to have this included?

I'm all for more cr@p planes.

I have a couple of photographs of a Blackburn Skua that has crash landed somewhere and it is a plane that has always interested me. I would not mind its inclusion.

i, for my part, would like to have all the planes who participated in ww2!!!
BUT, foremost i would like to have BoB, even with only the basic planes.
Expansions may, and will follow in short time after release, me thinks.
So my suggestion is: wait with such exotic wishes until we have BoB and the 3rd party tools are released. The probability of fulfillment will be much higher then.

Wise words.

errh...what role did this plane have from June to October 1940?

It was the primary fighter of the fleet until Fulmars were introduced in late 1940, and it was retained on ARK ROYAL until winter 1941 to be used as a dive bomber. It is absolutely necessary for any Norwegian Campaign scenarios, and equally necessary for 1940 Mediterranean scenarios.

Here are two recent, excellent books on the Skua:

and a very good model:

The closest thing to a Skua in IL-2 would probably be the Su-2?
Maybe some of our talented skinners could make a Skua skin for the Su-2?

It's not even close. The Su-2 has a turret and, more important, armor. Also, it was incapable of vertical dive attacks. The Skua had a cradle, like the Ju 87, to throw the bomb outside the prop arc.
