Are you sure you want this update? I don't think I'd fry the prane, it has such row speeds, it would be an easy target for other pranes. I mean at high artitudes, it's stirr srow.

Kinda like how the He-111 was also a passenger liner? That itself had mild success, and clearly extensive use.....

I'm down for the Fw200... Want more 4 engine aircraft to intercept  :aok
yes.. thank you, finally someone that understands the need for more large aircraft.

the PBY is a flying vulch. and accual vulches would be like cheating. its just like killing a hovering blackhawk with a F-16 from 3 miles away with a missle

Please explain in what way is the Fw200 "pretty sweet"?

Is it the fact that it is slower than the Ju88A-4?  Maybe the fact that it carries less bombs than the Ju88A-4?  Perhaps the fact that it has poorer defensive guns than the Ju88A-4? It might be the fact that it is much more fragile than the Ju88A-4?  Which of those were you thinking of?
well actually only one of those is true :headscratch:,   .. yes the JU-88A4 is faster with a speed of 292 mph against the fw200 with a speed of 224 mph.
but when it comes to payload, the JU-88 can only carry 4,420 lbs of bombs while the fw200 can carry 4,626 lbs of bombs.
And then when it comes to armement,  the JU-88 has two 13mm(52cal) machine guns and three 7.9mm (31.6cal) machine guns. giving it a total of 42.7mms of defencive armement
then the fw200 has one 20mm(80cal) canon, three 13mm (52cal) machine guns, and two 7.9mm (31.6cal) machine guns,, giving it a total of 74.8mms of defencive armement.
soooooo.. ya.. the fw200 is better actually... not to mention that we just straight up need more big bombers and jets in the game

Ju88A-4 carries 3000kg (6600lbs) of bombs.  The Fw200 was so structurally weak many broke their backs landing.

The Ju88 is in all ways, other than range, superior to the Fw200.  The Ju188A-1 would be the best bomber to be added for the Germans, from a capability standpoint.

Not too banter on about this, but where in the game today do we stresses like this? It's not like we up an aircraft and because it had a history of problems in reality, that you randomly get a lemon and kaput on the runway. Take the 109 for instance.... notorious landing gear issues.

If the VH is near the ocean it could spawn in the water like a PT boat, no need to add a hanger since the majority of the time they were either moored off shore or to a flying boat tender.

Try taxiing a 109 for rearm and tell me they don't have issues...

Anytime you get shot the aircraft's durability comes into it.  People expecting this thing to hold up like a B-17/B-24/B-29/Lancaster just because it has four engines would find that it is more fragile than the G4M1 when under enemy fire.

With scout/observing planes being introduced it just gives us a bigger reason to include...
