Please state those reasons.  I can't think of any.

Did that version have the ventral turret? Or was that Mk.I?

HiTech has said on at least one occasion that the largest bomb that will be put in the game is 4,000 lb.

Only the very early examples of the Mk I had that, mostly as a holdover from the Manchester.  The Mk II used Bristol Hercules VI engines, otherwise being similar to the later Mk Is.

The Mk II couldn't carry that, so no.  The B.Mk I 'special' or B.Mk III 'special' were the examples that carried the 12,000 and 22,000lb bombs.

I would rather see the Tu-2, Pe-2, He-111, S.M.79, or the Ki-49 added as bombers first.

We only have a total of three Axis bombers at this point (sans the B5N, D3A and the Ju-87) More Axis bombers/attack aircraft first...IMO...unless it's Russian bomber because I think that is sorely needed.

B52, put something modern in there that costs 20k perks to annoy people. I enjoy a good joke.

I didn't miss them, I said there are only three Axis bombers not including the D3A, B5N and the Ju-87.

The G4M1, Ki-67 and Ju-88 were the three Axis bombers I was referring to.

Where I was wrong at was not counting the Ar-234.  :uhoh

At any rate, some more Axis or Russian bombers would be nice  :cheers:
