The version we made for our group's campaign was:
Blackburn Skua Mk. II
Fighter 1939 8 points
2 Dice Strafing
5 Dice Anti-aircraft
8 Dice Bomb Attack (We base our stats on bombload capacity)
Armor 4/7/1
Mission Selection: This aircraft counts as either a Fighter or a Dive Bomber.
Cruiser Killer: This aircraft rolls 1 additional die with making Bomb attacks against Cruisers. |

I don't know, it seems a little too strong.
Anyway, how's this sound to everyone...
AA 5
Bomb 5
4/6/1
Mission Selection
Poor Dogfighter
5 points.
Though, I wonder how useful bomb 5 is... it'll hit destroyers and probably some cruisers... but that's about all it will do... only advantage it has over the expertly strafing Beaufighter is 1 die and the ability to apply expert SAs (and the Brits don't have an expert bomber SA) Maybe be generous an up its bomb load to 6? |

Against enemy fighters they were torn up, but they were up against things like 109s and CR.42s (which weren't that bad at the start of things) They did down a few bombers though, including SM.79s. That's why I threw in 'Poor Dogfighter' Against bombers they're AA5, against fighters they're AA4 with 4/6/1 armor... so they aren't really a threat to fighters unless they get reallllly lucky. |

I like the Poor Dogfighter SA, because it does indeed reflect one of the problems with this plane, and it's very simple.
Poor Dogfighter - This unit rolls one less die when making AA attacks against enemy fighters.

You could try to make a case for 6 Bomb dice, but I think it might be a stretch. I'm sure the British also wished it was just a little bit better than it was, so I think it might be good enough as it is, if that makes sense.

Wirraway is bomb 6 and Skua has half the bomb load.

Fair enough, I can live with bomb 5.
Is this one settled?

I think the cost should be dropped to 5. It's worse than a Sea Hurricane by a fairly substantial margin.

A Sea Hurricane can't bomb. But I tend to agree anyway.
