No Hijacking please Rosco   Even though deep inside you want the 410 as well.

You guys are too optimistic about Me-410. Jumping to gunner position while fighting is not the easy way to survive

I would prefer to have my Ichiwon in the back seat.  It is always nice to have a rear set of guns going 400    As the 410 is a str8 at ya kind of fighter only have to worry about the ones that get behind ya.

-If I'd have to pick one completely new twin it would be He-177A-5.

-...if variant, it would be the Ju-88G-7c. Of course to make it viable choice there would have to be some kind of limited icon-system at night times.

He 177 not a twin, AFAIK.  Way cool, on the other hand. If it's modelled ala AH (I mean, precise and accurate FM, but no engine or plane-specific problems, like Grief's engine fires) would be a superb adition. Wiht that naval missile thingy, if possible  

Cheers,

Pepe

These are all great suggestions, I think to only be fair 1 from each country should be presented and no single engine planes in the next patch.

That told here are the winners:

GE ME-410 "Duh"
JP KI-102 "Brady will end his pilgrimage finally"
SU TU-2
GB Mk VI mosquito "Bloats won't be crying they don't have a mossie in here"
US P-61 or A-26 "Rip gets his wish"


Honestly any of these would be great the 410 well even better.  But the 61 or 102 would be great to fly for they have never been in  flight sim before.

Pepe engine related problems were associated with the first 177's A-1.  A-5 had a lot of improvements to it.  Twin props is what he might be thinking, and I would consider it a twin as well.  And the HS missles would be nice to use on CV's!!  The more I think about it the 177 would be an awesome addition.

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.
