The majority of what I have read regarding the Botha has been very negative, all of it in fact. The only reports where it wasn't completely damned were from a couple of pilots who actually flew it. Those however, made me wonder if the plane wasn't quite as bad as thought. Could it have been made at least serviceable? Useful in other theaters? What realistic options are there for this?
The first area of improvement would be to install more powerful engines. However, that may not be possible as aero engines were not easy to make, and other aircraft have priority for them. The visibility issue though, could be partially resolved by fitting a glazed nose vice the half glazed and increasing the number of windows. Since I've the practical aero knowledge of my cat, I'm hoping others here will weigh in.
