Hey, im just lookin at different planes, what about the FW-200 Condor. A 4 engine german plane. Sounds Fun to me. It saw squadron service and responsible for sinking alot of allied shipping. Winston Churchill called it the "Scourge of the Atlantic" during the Battle of the Atlantic (1939-1945) due to its contribution to the heavy Allied shipping losses by German U-boats. Here is a link to it.

Slower, less payload and more fragile than the Ju88.

Four engines does not mean it is a heavy bomber.

Look at the He-177 if you want to look at German Heavy bombers. Maritime patrol planes don't work well in the game: no sub war and no supply convoys to kill.

I just think it would be cool for something different.

w00t! A request for a german bomber! This kids alright in my book! Im more hot for the He-111 though. And the He-177 is a bet better equiped than the Condor. besides, my religion forbids me to fly Focke Wulfs

Me-323!!!!!!!!

Not a bomber but hey it would carry 130 troops. Max speed was only around 177mph but it has some good armament.

The Me-323E-2 had had 8x Mg131 13mms and 2x Mg151/20 20mms. The 20mms being in turrets mouted on the top of the wings.
