I was being sarcastic. Any pre-1939 light bomber design was an easy target if it didn't have decent fighter escort, or if it faced heavy concentrations of flak. The Midway Vindicators got lucky, the French V-156s not so much. Had VMSB-241 run into an entire Air Wing of Zeroes, like VT-8 did with their TBDs, the Vindicator would have been notorious rather than obscure.
But, since I love obscure, crappy early war planes, I'd be happy if the Vindicator/V-156 was added to the game. Most folks would probably prefer to see the F4U-4 or FG-1, though.
