Seeing how we have Avia B-122 sport aircraft in the game, and looking at it's lines and features, I couldn't help but notice that it has quite a lot of similarities with older BH-33 figher aircraft from late 1920s. It was flown by Czechoslovak, Polish and Yugoslav air forces during the 1930s, although only couple of Yugoslav ones saw combat in April of 1941. It still seems like a nice aircraft for both The Golden Age and World at War segments of BAT mod. Hoping for someone to take it to undertake it. Also, it seems as if B-122 could be a nice starting reference considering that they share some design similarities.
