RAAF a/c request
#1

I've been going over some historical RAAF unit deployments and found some of the most significant types aren't in il2, which is a shame. We've got all the lesser types employed in relatively small numbers like P-400, Buffalo, Mosquito FB and B and Spit Vc/XIII but as it turns out these flew mainly domestic home defence, training and recon (i.e. civilian morale boosting in a nutshell). P-40E and M (plus pretty much synonymous K) were of course the main fighter type up until 44 but there were only ever small numbers of them. And thankfully now we have the Beaufighter Mark X so the type which was actually used by the RAAF before it was all over is now there.

In significant front line service we're missing:
P-40N Kittyhawk Mark IV (single most numerous type employed)
I hope the difference to the P-40M is obvious, it's lighter, faster and has better pilot view

CAC Wirraway (didn't do too well but was there)

CAC Boomerang (pilots liked it...but look at their choices)

Vultee A-31 Vengeance (primary attack aircraft of the war)

Dornier Do-24K tri-engine (tell me about it, but handled the bulk of transport work for RAAF PNG)

Any of these considered for a future mod would be, well fantastic for RAAF enthusiasts, or New Guinea mission builders.
