Default Re: British OOB7 corrections and suggestions

Addendum:

Unit 184: max. speed 544 km/h = Speed 5. I would rename this to Boston III. Available until 12/1945.

Suggestion: add "Boston III Intr" (Intruder) as Ground Attack (unit class 243). Armament: 4 x .303 cal MG + 4 x 20mm cannon, bomb load 2 x 500 lb + 2 x 250 lb. Other specs the same as above. Available from 6/1942 to 12/1945. Historically used mostly as a night intruder, but did fly some daylight missions later.

Suggestion: add "Boston IV" as Ground Attack. Armament 2 x .50 cal MG, bomb load 8 x 500 lb. Available from 6/1944 to 12/1945. Armor 10. Other specs as unit 184 above.

Another suggestion:

I think the Vickers Wellington level bomber would be a nice addition. It was the mainstay of the Bomber Command during the first 2½ years of the war and one of the best medium bombers in 1940 and 1941. Not that most players actually use level bombers, and historically the Wellington was used primarily as a night bomber, but I think it would deserve to be in the game. I will try to cook up a shp file for it, although I have no experience on shp file editing.
