Any of the prior mentined aircraft would be great.
I just can't get away from the P-108 an Axis bomber with the punch of a B-17 plus it just looks ugly enough to be cool.

lyric1,

If we're going for an Axis heavy, at least pick one that saw significant service such as the H8K2 'Emily' or He177A-5 Greif.

The SB2C Helldiver....

Remodel existing first. Then add new ones.

WRT the wing turrets on the P108, they look remote control to me. There appear to be gunner positions on the fuselage above the wing trailing edge. I vaguely recall there was an experimental British bomber that tried that arrangement as well. It did not work because the wing flexed and screwed up the gunnery.

I can't disagree with you I just have a thing about this plane.

[Volron]

The P-108 had remote turrets on the outboard engines, but they had a lot of trouble with them...

"The wing turrets were vulnerable to battle damage, icing, jamming, and were notoriously unreliable due to the complexity of the sophisticated gun control and computing device (the hydraulic systems had circuits stretching for several meters to the external engine turrets)."

I would love to see how they would model this plane into Aces High...

I would have to agree with you on the remodeling of the current line of bombers, but you can't blame me for putting this one up, can you?    I do enjoy flying bombers quite a bit (although my score might not reflect that), and I'm sure that it would make many of the FSO and Snapshot events that much more enjoyable.  Wait a tic, aren't you the "Bomber Man"?  The man to talk to when it comes to the bombers in Aces High?  Or is that a misconception on my part?  Oh come on... You know you want more bombers to fly. 


I am seeing some really nice choices showing up.  As I look these planes up, I start to drool at the prospect of (hopefully) flying them in Aces High one day.  Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta clean my desk...and my keyboard.
