Give us these planes and check "Game feedback/issues" Condor thread as a possible usage for maritime patrols.

Hi Mandoble,

>Give us these planes and check "Game feedback/issues" Condor thread

Sounds interesting :-) I'll have a look for it - but I'm sure posting a link would have helped capturing the audience ;-)

I'd love to see the Ju188A-1 (A-1 and A-2 were the best of the Ju188s, not the first as the name would suggest. E-1 was first). The Ju188A-1 is one of the nicest bombers of the war.

Fw200 would be a waste of effort, IMHO. It was slow, carried a light payload, poorly defended and so fragile that it sometimes broke on landing.

While the JU 188 is one of my favorates, I would rather see the He 177.

Karnak, I was not referring to use Fw200 as a bomber, so, the payload is secondary, speed may also be secondary having a radar.
The idea is to use these Fw200 to discover enemy CV groups at long distances, even to coordinate and control "future" submarine groups. Check the link above.

Ju188 had also the same radar, but it had much more limited range than Fw200. In fact, Fw200C almost doubled the B17 range.

As a "plus", some Fw200 were armed with two guided missiles or two guided bombs, and were able to transport supplies and troops (big goons?).
