     We have the Ju-88 series which was one of the Germany work horse , lots of variants of this model was made some in low numbers  but 1 that caught my eye was the Ju-88 C6 , based on the A4 series which we use was also a heavy fighter and night fighter .The heavy fighter version with improved guns ,Jumo 211J engines  had over 900 units built that  would also include the night fighter version in those numbers . Adding the Ju-88 variants would be nice...

Always liked the Condor. Didn't it also carry torpedoes, as well? Yes, the HE-117 or the Ju-188 might be better bombers, but the Condor was historically important in the Battle for the Atlantic.  As I recall, didn't the He-117 have serious engine problems that delayed it's entry into operations and limited it's impact, or am I thinking of another A/C?

Not that I disagree with the position, but that is rather hypocritical of you. You have been advocating for an Italian hybrid bomber/transport using the very same arguments about getting to aircraft for the price of one, despite the fact that, like the Fw200, it would result in a very poor performing bomber.

The Fw 200 would probably be better than his transport-bomber  :lol.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

It would be.  The biggest flaw in his request, in my opinion, is that it would doom the Italian set to go forward for the rest of the game's life with a substantially less effective bomber than they would otherwise have, and the best they can hope for isn't exactly staggeringly effective.

At the end of the days chaps this is bring viresty to the game.

The way I look at it AH could make vertualy do one aircaft and bring out two different variants of the aircaft in the game. We only have 1 dedicated transport aircaft and I get feed up with flying it, it would be great to have a second.

 An FW-200 would be fine but I would rather see the Italian S.M.79-1 Sparviero bomber first. :aok

Ju52 is really the only serious candidate for an additional transport.
