B24 would be about the final straw in the MA for me.  That is all we need right now is anothe ubber American bomber with the 50 bizillion 50 cals that are lazers still.

Il-4 and Pe-2, along with the Il-2 which we alreday have, provided the bulk of Soviet Bombers outside the lend lease.  Since we already have the A-20, we have arguably the best soviet bomber with wide use.

I listed both planes in the first cut, as noted we can argue about which goes first.   I'd love to see the Il-4 next, or the Pe-2 which would get use in the MA as well.  My gut feeling though is we will get the He-111 next.

Heck, even though they did not get much use, I would love to see the Pe-8, Piaggio 108 and the He-177.  But what I want more than anything is the early desert war, early Russian fornt planeset.

Gotta have the TB-3.  Something mesmerizing about a four-engine monoplane bomber with an open cockpit and fixed landing gear.  Fun just watching them trundle along in IL-2/FB/AEP.  Even Fighter Ace has the TB-3.  

And the Wellesley -- longest wingspan of any WWII single-engine warplane, and with those two weird bomb pods (?) underwing.    

And the CANT Z.506B -- can't be without one of the ubiquitous Italian trimotors, especially one atop two big pontoons.

or maybe a B-18 Bolo.


Put down your crack pipe Grits... whats the matter, can't find a more obscure plane to add to the list?

I'd put my bet on He-111  :aok

Gotta love them.

The Heron is one of my all time favorites.  TB3 only after many otehrs made.  The Chinese used some against the Japanese so we could justify it in early Pac setups with P-40Bs and Claudes.

Just need the claude . . .

Also would love to see the Short Stirling and the Sunderland.

That is my way of making fun of the B-29 types, go the opposite direction with the B-18. :)

I'd have all the "average" twin engined planes, early war fighters, various float planes and dive bombers modeled before I would add the B-29, He-177 or even the B-24.  I'd love to see them all, but lets add the odd ducks and flesh out the early war set first.There is not much disserence between a flight of B17s and a flight of B24s.
