Not much of a choice is it.

I voted for the Beau. I really thought the betty and 111 had  great chances as they are really needed.
Dude, where ya been, Betty is in regardless of the voting. Don't think Waffle is going to let all his hard work slip away.

Sorry but don't think we need anymore American bombers. B29 is getting votes cuz everyone is hoping for a nuke to wipe out a base or strats. The A26 and the A20 are basically the same type of role aircraft, and according to pilots in the Pacific theater, the views from the A26 sucked so it was lousy at low level attacks. Look to maybe a heavier gun package on the A-20 instead...

Same issue with the Me410. Yes, some variants had some big guns (such as the U4 with the 50mm BK-5 cannon with 21 rounds), but they were simply for hunting bombers and were not successful. From my research, it seems most units had Bf110 and Me410, since they were pretty close to roles and capabilities.

My vote is for the He 111, perferably a later model H variant, simply due to the role it played early in WW2 as it was used in all of the early German invasions and Battle of Britain.  :salute

The Me 410 was just a redevelopment of the Bf 110, thus the designation (similar to how you had the Bf 109, Me 209, Me 309 etc, the Bf 110 went through the Me 210 and 410)

The Me 209 an 309 were completely new planes.

As was the 210?
They were still single engined fighters built on the same basic design philosophy, intended to replace the 109 is what I was going for.

210 was underpowered, they put different engines and made a couple of minor changes and got the 410

The 210 shared parts with the 110, particularly in the fuselage (the wing was all new)

On the 209, I have to correct myself. the first, basic 209 was entirely different from the 109. I forgot about the later Me 209 II - that one was idneed based on the 109.
