Gaijin Please: Blackburn Skua Mk. II

Image from Wikipedia.

The UK is at a pretty significant disadvantage on the attacker front. If you don't have the CAC Wirraway, you're really out in the cold.

The Skua could be a reasonable, low-tier addition here. It would more likely be in the light bomber category, but given that it was designed to fill both fighter and bomber roles from carriers, "attacker" doesn't seem like too much of a stretch.

Approximately 190 Skuas were produced before and during WWII, and it's a notable plane for two missions in particular:

Skuas were credited with the first confirmed kill by British aircraft during the Second World War: a Dornier Do 18 flying boat was shot down over the North Sea on 26 September 1939 by three Skuas flying from the carrier Ark Royal.

Then, on 10 April 1940, 16 Skuas, flying from RNAS Hatston in the Orkney Islands, sank the German cruiser KΓΆnigsberg in Bergen harbour during Operation WeserΓΌbung, the German invasion of Norway.

While not a world-beater by any means, the Skua acquitted itself reasonably well in the early stages of the war. Presumably it would slot in at a BR from 1.3-2.0 in AB.

Specifications can be found here or here.

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
