Well according to wikipedia none were used by the Japs but the French Air Force is said to have rebuilt at least two left behind by the Germans after the war

Good catch.  :rofl

I want the plane.

I want it with the 111 in a pack.

Both at the same time.

I also want the A-26 and the unperking of the Spit XIV in this pack.

 I'd fly it as long as HT don't model all the engine fires the thing had in real life...  That would suck, take off, get a few 1000 off the ground, look out the window to see your #2 engine burst into flames and try turn around and land or in the world of AH your wing just falls off. :)

AFAIK HTC is never going to model any type of random mechanical failures so don't worry about that.

And yes, this bomber would be a great addition to the game!  :aok

We have them... The B24 and B17 would still be just as/more effective than the Grief.

Or maybe bombers that fill gaps in the planeset.

Not sure where I got 8,000 lbs from. Could be that that was the actual max used, and that 6,000 KG is just a meaningless (for practical purposes) technical number; like how max bombload for the B17 is often listed at 17,600 lbs although that was very rarely (never?) used in combat.

Or I could have just 'made it up'. Who knows :lol
