Excellent book, and it's on my shelf. Been a while since I read it though so thanks for the prod!
I'm just finishing Arthur Harris' 'Bomber Offensive' at the mo.
Love Johnny Kent's tales of home built 'planes and sneaking engines into Canada from the US, and all the test pilot stuff too.

So anyway, no need for cannons on Spits in 'Cliffs' then!!

I'm all for historical accuracy in aircraft performance, even if that puts one side at a disadvantage. There are several aircraft types/models (including the Spit Mk1b) of the period that could be added to a BOB scenario on both sides. I look forward to the day when the modders can work their magic and introduce these aircraft types to the game.

I'd rather have a flyable Defiant or Gladiator.

Lots of aircraft that would help the sim more than a 1b.

What's the point of the thread? To get an idea if red flyers are the type that just want game advantage?

No. But I'd be happy to have it as long as the cannons jammed randomly, but I wouldn't fly it and see it as big a waste of developer resource as 'heartbreaker'.

Id be happy if we can have the loadouts that were used frequently in any aircraft.

I would appreciate anything that is purely historical no matter if guns jam or bombs and torpedos are duds.
