Will the lady pilots be offered again, or are they now and I simply missed it?

I've seen them swing by with the U.S.O. a few times. I'm sure they will be back again.
Fair warning. My success rate at speculative guesswork is very hit or miss. Usually I start on the right track and then a make a weird left turn and get lost in the weeds ...
And yet it doesn't stop me from speculation.

When they came around the last time, that was the second time. Hopefully there'll be a third, with less ridiculous condition (or were they on premium shop then, I can't remember).
The one with black cat is obsoleted though.

WoWP makes a great jousting game...especially with the 262 and people busy in furballs...
I am deaf, silent, and fly with unrealistic controls. Do not count on me to carry - my back's already broken from overweight.

Heck no she is not. 
She still kills ground things after you leave them still in tact, and kills things faster. And she has a black cat.

Automatic fire starting is not at all obsolete.
same as double damage ordinance in a dive and double damage forward guns in a head on attack.

You want one of the Night Witches?
Here's their history:

Logic is a feeble reed, friend. "Logic" proved that airplanes can't fly and that H-bombs won't work and that stones don't fall out of the sky. Logic is a way of saying that anything which didn't happen yesterday won't happen tomorrow.

Excellent short read. Thanks Moonrider. Hmmm, Moonrider and Nachthexen...Coincidence?
Interestingly, the flat-black painted Black Cat PBYs on night operations in the Pacific Theatre used the same technique of stifling engines on approach and it worked quite well, too, I understand.

It only works on unarmored targets now so it really is only good at lower tiers where guns do not obliterate unarmored pieces.

Has to be, Moonrider is my 80's era CB handle, taken from a character in the Roger Zelazny novels Changeling and Madwand.
