I wish for the IL-4

We could use a russian bomber.

Crew:   4 (pilot, navigator, gunner/wireless-operator, rear gunner)
Length:   14.80 m (48 ft 6.75 in)
Wingspan:   21.44 m (70 ft 4.5 in)
Height:   4.10 m (13 ft 5.5 in)
Wing area:   66.7 m² (718 ft²)
Empty weight:   5,800 kg (12,787 lb)
Max takeoff weight:   11,300 kg (24,912 lb)
Engine:   2× Tumansky M-88B radial engines, 820 kW (1,100 hp) each
Maximum speed:   430 km/h (232 kn, 267 mph)
Range:   3,800 km (2,052 nmi, 2,361 mi)
Service ceiling:   9,700 m (31,825 ft)
Armament:   2 × 7.62 mm ShKAS machine guns
1 × 12.7 mm Berezin UB machine gun
Up to 2,500 kg (5,500 lb) of bombs or mines. Alternatively, 1 × 940 kg (2,072 lb) 45-36-AN or 45-36-AV torpedo. Very rarely, 2 × BETAB-750DS 305mm rockets.

I think we need more medium bombers for sure ,but with are current FSO's running well over 400 people flying a week in it,i would start with Japanese and medium Germen buff's,as we have plenty of allied bombers.

The early bombers are exactly what we need. Despite the fact that the DB-3 (IL-4) was a mid-1930s plane, and obsolete in WW2, it has the early-war performance that could fill in for a number of RAF, VVS, IJA planes.

The only issue is that it has a heavier bombload than most of the planes it could sub for hehehe

Fits perfectly in the early Eastern Front, in the CBI theater and along the Soviet border with Japan.

I say yes to the IL-4.    Let HTC decide it's priority...

The Soviet Union has no domestic multiple engined aircraft... it's probably the most lacking planeset in the game.

[Sunka]

But we do have an overwhelming majority of allied bombers.(Medium or Larger)

Yes, the Il-4 would be nice, as would <real> buffs for Japan (G4M) & Italy (P.108); Germany would do well to get the He-111 <scenarios>.

The Il-4 would be nice, but I think that we need the Tu-2 or the Pe-2 first.

You realize that the G4M would be much worse than the Ki 67 in almost every respect right? And that less than 50 P. 108's were built?

305 mm rockets?  Yes please.   http://vvs.hobbyvista.com/Research/Ordnance/Betab/  (scroll down a bit)

Rarely used...yea.  Fun?  Oh yes.

I was hoping someone would say just this  *points up*

Yes the rockets are very fun looking. But the implications of the torpedo are even more tantalizing.
