Can't believe what I just found while trying to check out wether Beau's were actually allowed to perform Immelmanns: http://www.burrowes.org/FamilyTree/E.F.G.Burrowes_LogBook/extras/Beaufighter-Manual/index.html

People with eyesight issues beware! (and that includes myself)

Did it answer your question?

My guess would be that they could perform Immelmanns but maybe not when they were loaded with bombs or a torpedo.

Yes, yes it did. Aerobatics strictly forbidden, and your guess is good. Just wanted to share the link ;)

Very interesting as far as my use of them goes in my Desert campaign then. No clever stuff whilst loaded or in sight of any "Brass".

No Immelman for airplanes that carry bombs is even a part of the game. "Full load", page 40-41, RA pack rules. Well done Andrea :)

I was actually suggesting that we took it even further Jan, and did not perform any clever stuff at all whilst fully loaded.

The rules also suggest slow speed and +1 to a climb rate. I really understand to these rules, when Me110 was released we tried a bomb mission with it and it was really overpowered. That's why i also welcome the new rules for non-bombers carrying a bomb. It all makes sense and helps the game great deal.

The ban on intentional spinning and aerobatics reads to me like an instruction not to 'fool around' rather than a ban on their use in combat.
