Bomber,

I'll need to double-check but I'm pretty sure the SBD had the Helldiver beat in tonnage. Actually, I think the SBD had EVERY purpose-built divebomber beat in tonnage sunk or destroyed.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Im going from memory but TU-2s did fly in combat, squadron strength, in 1943. I believe they were at Kursk and the Kalinin front 1943. I dont have time to research it now. :salute


By January 1944 the first production Tu-2 and Tu-2S bombers had been passed to the regiments of the V-VS, but it was not until June of that year that Tu-2s saw action on a large scale on the Karelian (Finnish) front.

Do 217
Ju 188

The Do-217 could carry two radio controlled anti-ship missiles. :t

Part of the B29 problem, which has now been corrected, is that HiTech Creations, on the website itself, mentions the B29 as a perked plane.  That was last year and now I don't seem to be able to find it.

It's still there in the help files...
Quote
Perk planes (and vehicles) would be things like Me 262s, Ta 152s, Tempests, B-29s, Ar 234s, Tiger IIs, etc.  These are interesting rides but would be very unbalancing if they were available on an unlimited basis.  So there won't be unlimited availability but they'll be available as bonuses or perks every so often.

re: A-26 & SB2C:

I know, but we also 'need' a more useful perked bomber.
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:

You just won't let go of that A-26 pipe dream...  No more American bombers until we get the Betty, He-111 and a Russian bomber.  Think of what's good for our scenarios and not just yourself.

Mosquito B.Mk XVI, He177A-5, B7A2 "Grace", Il-10.  Each of those is a potential perk bomber.

Congrats....didn't know you bought HTC and now have the right to say what we get.  again congrats  :salute 
And the A26 did come in high on the voting we had awhile back.  If you notice we have gotten the planes from that vote.  So since you run HTC now you need to honor what the people voted for way back when.

And if the planeset were a popularity contest we'd already have the B-29 with a nuke. :lol

Well, no, because that wasn't an option in the vote.
