I would love to see this added.  For further consideration check out the PE-2 as it would be a worthy add to the game also.

Would be some nice additions right there.  More Russian and Jap planes would be nice as they are rather under represented. A few more British bombers and Italian planes would be killer too.

Pe-2  wasthe most produced bomber of the VVS after the Il2.

Strangely the IL2 was not considered a dive bomber but rather a low level ground assault aircraft.

The PE 2 was infact designed as a level & dive bomber (like the ju88) with early versions having a glass nose section and air brakes to facilitate dive attacks.

The TU-2 is just the prettiest bomber of the GPW with a B17 payload and a decent air speed the 1943/4 model could be very popular

Strangely?  With those cannons that's exactly what I'd expect! :P

I think we need a balanced planes/vehicles across all countries and across all time periods.
