ANY early war bomber

[Furball]

I don't care what it is.

Getting outrun by Boston's in a 109E irked me in the BoB Scenario on Sunday.

We need any early war bomber to be a useful substitute for the bombers which took part in the early war campaigns.

...and yes, before any of the He-111 crowd comes in, i am suggesting that as one option.

[bongaroo]

Agreed!  I'd like to add that I'd prefer a bomber that wasn't an allied job.   

[Furball]

B-25C is a better sub as an early war aircraft IMO, don't know why that isn't used more in scenarios.

That made me laugh.  Thanks for the humor.   

I agree, if there are early war bombers that need to be substituted... the Boston is the fastest of the early war bunch is isnt the most typical of early war bombers.  I too suggest one of the B25 or even one of the larger bombers but limit the payload (100 or 250lb bombs) and limit defense to a certain turret or two only based on the bomber they are substituting for.  It shouldnt be too difficult.

There are lots of buffs that could be added... I think Germany had one called the He-111.  The Brits had the Wellington, iirc.

Definately. He 111, Vickers Wellington, Mitsubishi G4M, and Tupolev SB2 would be great in rounding out the EW bomber set

Ju-52.. both as a transport and a light bomber. I'm not sure if the bomber version ever served in WW2, but I know it was in the Spanish Civil War. Answers your wish, a new transport, and AvA setups.

Do-17 Sm-81 would be great to have.

Wellington B.Mk III should also be added to the short list.

Just make 'em use Lancs; running just two engines.

I would welcome a he11, wellington, g4m or a sm79

I am pretty sure it was used, but dont quote me on this.

I too would like to see an early-war bomber, however I think we need one more perked bomber before any others are added.

The reason for this is primarily that at the moment, our only perked bomber is the Ar-234, which is fun to fly every now and then, however it's usefulness is quite limited.  This is why I support adding next the A-26 Invader as a perked bomber, and then any early-war aeroplane to help out in scenarios.

Boooooo!  No more American bombers until we get something different.

[Denholm]

Boooooo!  No more American bombers until we get something different.

Amen! I'll drink to that.

Ok, well can you think of any bombers that you would like to see added next that would be perkable?
