+1

Huh...the two ~5000 lbs bombs would ensure a lot of use right there.

That said, hopefully if we got this we'd get the He-111 at the same time so BoB scenarios would have a bomber that can be caught.

[1Boner]

Sorry, its too fast and too good looking!! 

(just how I like my women)

[Baumer]

It definitely needs to be added, however I think there are a few planes (such as BnZ pointed out) that should have a higher priority on the list.

[Denholm]

I'd prefer the He-111 before we get the He-177.

[Silent6]

Id love to see this one make it into the game it so fast they may have to perk it though..

[Motherland]

To be honest I'd rather the He 111, Ju 188 and Do 217 before the He 177. Maybe even the Do 17.
Partly because it's so smurfy.

Not in AH..4K limit imposed by HTC.

[Karnak]

I'd rather see the Ju188A-2 added.  The Ju188 is such a pretty bomber and capable too.

[frank3]

Without engine fires or other failures, the He-177 would be pretty capable too!

Mossie meat, therefore +1

I,m really sick of reading this quote everytime someone suggests a plane.

I'm aware of defensive armament, however unless you're aware of claims which have escaped my attention, the historical equation is heavily in the Mossie's favour.

Not saying it wouldn't be different in the unfriendly skies of AH though.
