The Bristol Type 156 Beaufighter, often called the Beau, was a multi-role aircraft - primarily heavy-fighter. Developed by the Bristol Aeroplane Company in the UK. It was used as a long-range heavy fighter, bomber, torpedo bomber and night fighter.
Beaufighter was a very successful aircraft that entered the war during the Battle of Britain. It was relatively slow by fighter standards but could carry more weight, which allowed for the installation of powerful armaments and radars.
Starting late 1940 many Beaufighters were equipped with radars for night operations and proved to be a very effective counter to the German night raids. Additionally, it was often equipped with air-to-surface missiles.
In the game
Like other long-range fighters in the game, Beaufighter has 60 fuel instead of the usual 40. That allows it to operate across larger distances and be less conservative with skills like Afterburner or Overwatch breakthrough. In that regard, it has a similar role to the German Me-110 series. At the same time, it is better at attacking ground targets and could be used successfully in the ground attack aircraft role. You can also equip it with air-to-ground missiles.
We will keep posting new units that will appear for the first time in the Strategic Mind series, so stay tuned!
