Val or 17 ?

Only right choice would be the HE177 together with Anti Shippings missiles, this would allso give the allies some opposition trying to shoot it down, not very many buffs are flying around with 20mm

Ju290 had one hell of an arement but if it is a heavy bomber we want it must be able to carry more load. It could take anti shipping missiles aswell.

I counted serial-numbers of Ju-290 and got about 50.
IMHO its place is not in AH.

Staga, part of the problem is with the LW there were only low numbers of heavy bomber types. Luckily (for AH) both the HE-177 and JU-290 saw action - although I beleive KG-200 used the JU-290 the most for clandestine operations. Even then they used the few rebuilt/captured B-17's or B-24's they had for the long range trips to Afrika, etc. I've always favored these two and I hope either one gets included in AH.

Some Ju-290 got quite impressive defence with 9*MG151/20 + one MG131 or MG81 if I remember right but if only about 50 planes were made...
Of course I would be glad if HTC would decide to model it but there's still dozen planes which should be modelled before Ju-290

Like He-177
