If you ask me, It looks like a B-24 Liberator bomber.

It does, a little bit. Notice how the wings connect at the middle of the fuselage, unlike the B24.

just like the wellington the halifax was able to do multiple missions
just look at these examples it did more than what the lanc could do. please

Hailfax B.II Series I (Special), SOE
Special version for Special Operations Executive (SOE) used to drop supplies over Europe. Nose armament and dorsal turret removed, the nose being faired over, as well as changes to the fuel went pipes and exhaust shrouds.


Halifax B.III
Main production variant, fitted with Bristol Hercules engines. B.III bombers were fitted with transparent nose dome with single machine gun, Boulton Paul dorsal turret with four guns and tail turret with four guns. Some B.IIIs had extended round wingtips.

Halifax A.III
Halifax B.III bombers converted into glider tug and paratroop transport aircraft.

I used the search and found that people before asked for multible players manning the guns on the bombers. Why did that get rejected? I mean in missions i see that as a possability,  Especialy if its BUFF missions.
