I'd like to see the earlier variant added in as well, or at least the ability to pick and choose which rear turret we can take.  If memory serves me correctly the earlier version had quad .30 cals instead of the current dual .50 cals.  One would think that would be a ton more ammo and quad .30's might not be too far off from dual .50's in terms of ability thanks to rate of fire.

Quad .30s were the standard fit. Only a small number got the dual .50s.

Probably why its perked in the early war (or is it mid war?) arena.

I think all of the early rides need a refit. Lanc and Hurrie gears are way too fast. Modeling is not as smooth as later work.

I don't think the .50s are the reason for its perk price in Early war.

You have, level bomber wise:

B-25C
Boston Mk III
G4M1
Ju88A-4
Lancaster Mk III

One of these is clearly in a different category of capability as a bomber.

You are correct! The Bostons are completely aerobatic and will not lose their drones! Thanks for posting!  :D

IRL lancasters and halifaxes where easy meat trying out daytime raids the few occations they did 1944 , when Allied thought they had total supremacy.
According to JG26 war diary volume II , the brittish bombers where almost defenseless with their .303 against the fw190s and 109s.
6th august 1944 they claimed to have shot down 4 halifaxes and 3 lancasters without any loss for themselves.
