some would argue against more american daylight bombers but the truth is they were built to survive in daylight attacks.

And as for Daylight bombers that could survive in the MA, what about this beauty?

He 177 is another,Emily is another, Coranado is yet another,TU-2, is another.....


 I realy dont think adding yet another Allied bomber is going to realy help or Hurt except in the case of Event's or the CT, it would Help to have their time spent on somthing other than yet another Allied Buff at preset.


 But hey were going on a long prettythang time now without any new plane so as a man dying of thirst I dont think I would realy care how dirty the water I was given was, it would nice if it were clean and clear but I would settle for some more of the ushual Allied High Brand Texas prary water.

Instead of adding more bombers right now, how about being able to add more gunners to the bombers that have more then one turret/gun. :aok

Just my 2ct worth.

That was one nice thing about AW, couldnt gun yer own plane, but *could* pack a full boat of squaddies into a B25 or 17 and go out looking for trouble. :)  That 25 had murderous coverage to rear even without belly turret; waist guns seemed to have 160 degree field of fire, and actual 25's I've examined seemed to bear out the AW plane model.

MA Survivable Bombers:

B-24J
B-25J
B-29B
Coranado
Do217K-2
H8K2 "Emily"
He177A-5 Greif
Ju188A-2
Mosquito B.Mk IV
Mosquito B.Mk XVI
P.108
P1Y1 Ginga "Frances"
Pe-2B
Tu-2S

All of these are MA survivable to one degree or another.  As can be seen there are quite a few more MA useful (inasmuch as bombers are useful in the MA anymore) bombers that could be added than just the three in the opening post.

Focusing on just the most survivable in my list we would get:

B-24J
B-29B
He177A-5
Mosquito B.Mk XVI

The runners up:

H8K2 "Emily"
P.108
Tu-2S
