A NEW GERMAN bomber!!! (heavy)! TAKE A LOOK

[jolly22]

Wouldn't it be nice if we had ALL four of these variants?

It doesn't carry the same load from England to Berlin and back though.  There's a difference in what the bomb bay is capable of versus range.  6,000 lbs of bombs wasn't the B-17s maximum bomb load, unless it needed the extra weight for fuel to get there and back.

a bomber is classed by its bomb load
light bomber-2,000
medium bomber-4,000
heavy bmber-6,000
so there you have it

Seeing that the Ju-88 is a medium bomber you are wrong.

A bomber is classified by its bomb load. The list being:
Light Bomber - 2,000 lbs
Medium Bomber - 4,000 lbs
Heavy Bomber - 6,000 lbs

So there you have it.                         Is that what you were trying to say? I could barely understand it.

As larry said,

Seeing that the Ju-88 is a medium bomber you are wrong.

You ARE wrong, as another example is the A-20 or the G4M1. The A-20 is classified as a light bomber, and it could, and does in game, carry 4,000lbs of ordnance. The G4M1 carried 1000 kilograms, or slightly under 2,205 lbs, yet it is classified as a medium bomber.

AFAIK a bomber is classified by its weight, not by how much it carries. Its classification is also determined by the country that operates/operated the craft. An example would be the Ar 234, which was classified as a "Fast Bomber" by its country of operation, Germany, not a "Heavy Bomber" like your list would suggest.

Little tip: Before you make blanket statements, spend time researching for an exception, as there always is one.

I can't wait to see He-177s subbing in the next BoB scenario.

[Simba]

He111 was the Heinkel bomber type employed by the Luftwaffe during the BoB; the He177 didn't rear its ugly head over Britain until the 'Baedecker Blitz'.

HE 177

HE 177 

is it a necrobump if it's the OP's thread?

also, I counter your He-177 with my Short Stirling

People moan about the lack of German heavy bombers in this game. I don't feel as though it's because HTC doesn't want to model one, but due in fact that there isn't a lot of worthy air frames to put in game. As you all know, it was the German policy to deploy smaller bombers.

I WANT IT!!!!!

fixed

[mthrockmor]

So instead of focusing an a great plane, we focus on a typo? Plantee of typn errers ta werk wit.

I give the idea of the 177 being developed a thumbs up.    New challenge, right after we mastering shooting down the B-29 and He-111.

Not sure where any place in my post that it says I want it.

Would love to have, but...

He 111, Do 17Z, Do 217, Ju 188... all higher priority IMO
