Aircraft/Loadouts Handley Page Hampden

[Kempston 342]

Looking at what has and hasn't been placed forward onto the suggestions, I noticed a somewhat iconic aircraft that has neither been suggested and isn't in game. The Handley Page Hampden -  one of the first bombers over Reich territory (poor ol' Goering, he'll never live that down!) and was one of the early war bombers that could prove to be an effective bomber preferably tier 2? or maybe 1'll do,? anyway, I won't be expecting it to have a high BR as like all British bombers, they were poorly armed with a half decent bomb load (excluding Lancaster).

I think this would be a good aircraft to go into game as at the moment it goes: Swordfish, Wellington (Escalates quickly doesn't it?) and that doesn't look good for the Brits as you go from a bi-plane with until recently just a torpedo, to a Wellington, which is capable of carrying cookies!

 

Hope you like the idea and pictures attached below! :salute:

I feel sure that this has been suggested before, however looking at the list it has not  8/s

 

Open for discussion

Doesn't a suggestion need a bit more info? Maybe add the performance

i like the Hampton and the Blenheim mk1 (of which i had suggested and is documented) and would love to see it in game

I was actually quite surprised too when I found it hadn't appeared to have been suggested before!

That is indeed the case, therefore this thread can be closed as it's expected to enter the game at some point in the future.
