Unless I'm wrong... The 217 had 4 engines. Each prop had 2 engines powering it. How would this affect an engine if only 1 of the 2 connected to the prop got damaged/died?? Wouldn't it effectively kill the engine, thus taking out 1/2 the propulsion with only 1/4 the damage?

I think that might nerf this plane, damage-wise.

Hmm it's not the Do-217 Krusty, I know what aircraft you mean though, it's Heinkel He.....?

I have a modell of that too, I'll post some pics aswell.

They placed 4 engines in 2 pods because (I believe it was Goring?) didn't want a 4 engined bomber.
They solved the "problem" by placing 2 engines in each pod, but it had lots of problems (it kept burst out in flames)

thats the Heinkel 177 you are thinking of, the 277 was the 4 engined (conventional) version.

yah, the condor would be sweet if we could code in anti-shipping missiles.

Condor was easy pickings. It had a light bomb load (doesn't take much to sink a ship) and was very vulnerable. Once they began encountering resistance they were pulled from duty because of losses, if I recall

Precisely how long to you think any carrier group would have a Condor orbiting it?

Carriers have these things called "fighters" that merchant convoys normally lack...

I'd enjoy seeing to Condor as it is one of the naturual prey items for Mossies.  I just don't think I'd see very many people willing to play the part of prey.

I've often reported CVs and been far enough away not to be bothered. Especially at long ranges. I've even torpedoed CVs and survived (just) using JU88s - provided the CV is far from the action.

Anyway, I just like the idea of using different aircraft for usefully in the MA.
