Perked Bombers

And these P38's had a bombadier in the nose and there were no guns on it.

I don't even like to fly bombers and yet I feel the absence of a good selection of perked bombers is a problem.

My favorites for perked are,

B-29... duh

The navy varient of the B24 with the single tail, remote control 20mm cannon turrets and the radar guided anti shipping missiles I read about in Aviation History Magazine.

I think the Douglas B26 Invader, (Not the Martin B26 we already have), would be a great perk bomber.

Additional non perkbombers should incluce the flying boats.  The Martin PBY5M  the Catalina, those really cool looking Japanese jobs and the German ones too.  And how come we still don't have the HE111?  Wassupwidat?

A26K - get it right. Bring out the Vietnam vet.

airfield bombing is a rare sight but there not realy used for airfields anymore

??
Are we talking about the same game?
I see them much too often in the MA. 2 main tactics are prefered.

1. Flying at lower mid alt and then diving down to the field hopefully hitting at least one objekt before dying in the ack.
2. Flying VERY low hopefully hitting at least one object before they got killed by ack or, whats most funny, beeing destroyed by their own bombs.

I dont like to see both of them.
But i understand: Let them play their own game. They pay for it.
the game is cheap and so are some 'tactics'.
