So take a bet...wich one you think Pyro will put in?

Stuka? <giggling>

Gotta be the B29. No other bomber was uber.

B-29. Little doubt about it, its north american and is the most expected perk bomber.

personally I'd like an Ar-234. Hopefully, in the future

He 219?

No really I think the B-29. I'd love to see a German heavy like the He 177.

Dunno.. HTC has been variant happy. Gonna have to go with the A-26.

He219 isn't a bomber.
He177 doesn't qualify as perk quality.
Ar234 would be a possibility.
B-29A would be the other possibility but would require gobs of 3D and texture work.

My bet is on the Ar234.

Ar234, and then Superfly will be driven to tears by trying to model the cramped cockpit arrangement and bombsight.. hehe

I really hope it is a German a/c, can't say I'd be too devastated if it turned out to be an A-26 though

I think the B29 will come late in the game, pyro will moddel other aircrafts before.

Maybe arado, A26, the big canon B25, one of the big german bomber (don't recall), maybe an attack like IL10? I don't think B24s will be perked. Hey...Catalyna maybe? because can bomb and drop troops at the same time (a wild guess?

I have no clue, I would go with Arado, good way to introduce a Jet.

I'd be happy with a A-26B at, say, half the PP's of a B-29

Ar-234's bombload were about 3000-3500lb... not much use in arena dont you think?
Maybe as a recon plane searching enemy flat-tops but usually we already know where they are

How many AR-234's and Gotha 229's were produced and delivered to LW units? Now I didn't ask if they saw combat. I'm just curious as to how many squadrons were out fitted with them by the second week of May, 1945?
