Aircraft/Loadouts Bristol Brigand

[Thiky 2,162]

Hi members!

 

I see the British air tech tree and I studied the planned tree (have free place yet). I think need an other twin engine attacker/torpedo bomber/heavy fighter from the post war era and what have a new design (don't similar onto the Mosquito). This would be the:

All i needed for a +1

[MandolinMagi 603]

I'd like to see it. IT should be noted that there were two versions, an early TF.1 with an M2 Browning for rear defense, and the later B.1 version without the machine gun. Might be nice to get both.

[Radium_Bullet 488]

Seems like a decent aircraft, are all the 20mms offensive armament or are some of them defensive as well (I see a turret in the picture)? Anyways, +1

All the 20mms are fixed forward, the rear gun is a Browning M2 that was only fitted on the first 20-odd aircraft.

A Premium AND a standard Aircraft then.

 

Also #gib! It's British for one!

Alright thanks! This doesn't seem like it would be capable of surviving if a fighter attacked it though. Guess you could use that speed to get away.

+1 can it carry a torpedo?

we need more variety in the heavy fighter line

It can yes, same Torpedo as on the Firebrand.

[Thiky 2,162]

I think would be good the  TF.1 (torpedo-bomber) and the B.1 (bomber) variant under one bough.

TF.1

 

B.1

Wasn't the Brigand a trainer variant of the Buckingham?

Nope, it was to replace the Beaufighter, Buckmaster was the Trainer variant of the Buckingham.

I'd rather have the original Buckingham. Much better looking.
