Don't the allies already have enough Heavy Bombers? Come on! Even the odds and get us the HE-111 along with the P.108.

Why would we need the Halifax, when we already have the Lancaster, B-17, and B-24 is a mystery. Hell, throw in the Stirling, so we can fly a real dog. :uhoh We need a German heavy, the He-177.  Oh, and give Denholm his He-111 already. Then maybe the SM.79  :aok

You and Denholm need to stop spamming forums, hijacking threads with the same crap over and over.

Come on Krusty, lighten up. You know it would revive the BoB scenarios. ;)

Nothing will make BoB scenarios work unless the bombers actually fly at historical speeds.  Redone flight models on the Bf110 and Hurricane Mk I to take them down to their correct places would be nice too.
