Well let's look at this from a LWMA point of view, seeing as 90% of players in AH fly mostly if not solely LWMA. So...

#1: http://ww2drawings.jexiste.fr/Files/2-Airplanes/Allies/2-USSR/04-Bombers/Pe-8/Pe-8-4AM-35.htm
basically looks like a basically undefended Russian B17
#2: http://ww2drawings.jexiste.fr/Files/2-Airplanes/Allies/2-USSR/04-Bombers/Myasishchev-DVB-102/Myasishchev-DVB-102.htm
decently defended, horrible horrible bomb load, average speed....
#3:http://ww2drawings.jexiste.fr/Files/2-Airplanes/Allies/4-France/01-Fighters/NC.600/NC.600.htm
Slow, nice guns, doesn't look very maneuverable
#4: http://ww2drawings.jexiste.fr/Files/2-Airplanes/Allies/4-France/06-Aeronautic/D.376/D.376.htm
A bi-plane? REALLY?!...

Well first one, Myasishchev DVB-102 never flew in combat and was only experimental.

Petlyakov Pe-8 would be a decent Russian heavy bomber, however it was made in such very small numbers and barely operational - it does fit the bill to be added, Pe-2 would be a good stand in for now.

SNCAC NC.600 - I think 5 were being built/prototypes when the Germans attacked - wasn't in operational status.

D.376 - no information on I am guessing either prewar or biplane.

Russian:
Tu-2:  Excellent fit for the LWMA, fast, not useless guns and good bomb load.
Pe-2: Good scenario bomber, fast but light guns and bombs.

French:
D.520: Not the most representative French fighter, but the best one.

Problem is the french really didn't combat the italians especially in the meds, British Gladiator would be right to fly against the Cr.42 Falco.
Gladiator was a bi-plane and served quite well, even had itself a few aces.

Really dude?

Stop trying to come up with stuff thats new, origional, and unique. Ask for whats not been beaten to death already, thats usefull, and that, above all, saw combat.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

What your failing to realize buddy, is not everyone flies planes or wants new ones added because they are BETTER then what we currently have. Like your opinion on the Russian bomber.. sure it may look like a undefended B17, but what about wanting to fly it for the significance of it, for the pleasure of it, for the fun. Not everything added to game has to be better then what we have. Sometimes the nostalgia, is what its all about. You don't seem to get this..

Flying the Betty bomber is very nostalgic too. Except that nobody really flys it. Maybe its best if AH models airplanes it customers will actually fly. The TU-2 will do nicely, yaknow Ive been screaming for a level Russian bomber for years now.

Planes that would see a lot of use if added (MA):

G.55
H8K
Ju-188
P.108
Do-335
Meteor
He-162
Mosquito Tsetse
P-61
P-38H
Ki-84 Otsu
Ki-100
Ki-44
He-177
Wellington
A-26
Yak-3
109G6/AS
Me-262 with R4M/250kg bombs



  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Titanic,

Not a bad list of MA things, but take off the Wellington and add the Tu-2 and J2M.  Il-10, Firefly, Helldiver and A7B2 might be used a lot as well.

Hmm true, though I'd think the Wellington would make a nice perk farmer with an OBJ of 25 or 30. Very good bomb load as well.

Would be great for EW/MW.
