Pepe, Sturm, Heinkel He-177A-0 had 2x 2 DB 601 joined through a common gearbox to a single propeller. So A-0 was 4 engined aircraft.
He-177A-5 had two DB 610 engines. I know DB 610 is basically two DB 603s coupled together but DB 610 is still one engine with its own designation so therefore I consider He-177A-5 to be a twin.
Yep, He-177 wasn't nicknamed "flying lighter" for nothing

. But as you said we wouldn't have these problems in AH. Historically He-177 was far from succesful plane. Along with the Me-210 it did more harm than good to the german war effort. No other aircraft-project ate so much rescourses with basically no gain. But in AH He-177A-5 would be great in many ways. Most of all it would bring heavy axis bomber into an online flightsim for the first time as far as I know.
