mhhh nice bro
100% agree

But that would be a bomber everyone would uses.
So better model a favorite german buff like He111 or Do217

Yep, Ju290 is cool plane, but only 65 planes was made. Would be ideal perk bomber to LW... ;)
More info from here:
Junkers Ju 290 and Ju 390
Junkers Ju 290/390

Pick is showing Ju290 A-5...

Yeah, i would expect it to be a perk bomber...around 5-15 perks would be nice. It only goes 240 MPH @ 18K so perking it higher that 15 wound't be too good :)

AH already got Ju88, which is better armed than either of those and it's a flying coffin.
No need for more flying coffins for germans :>

What kind of bomb sight does it have? what kind of bomb load outs are possible. What do the cockpit and gun positions look like? (needed for a model in the game)..

Do217 E-2 got quite good defensive armament and bomb load.  One fixed MG 151/15 in the nose, one MG 131 in dorsal turret, one MG 131 manually aimed at lower rear, three MG 15 manually aimed in nose and beam windows plus 8,818 lbs (4000 kg) of bombs, including 3,307 lbs (1500 kg) carried externally...;)
Max speed was just 320mph (515kmh), climb rate 216m/min, service ceiling 9000m and range 2800 km... :p

sounds like a decent plane. we totally need more german bombers and another transport plane wouldnt hurt either-adds variety. i know germans prefered medium bombers there needs to be a heavy bomber to counter the allied heavy bombers.

The germans were in development of heavy bombers but the process was obliterated by the allies and their bombing.

Cant remember designation but had an uncanny resemblance to the B-29.

The He-177 was in limited service/development but had teething engine "heatng" problems.

The fw-200 and the ju-290 are cool in that they both could carry guided missiles. Great for hitting fleets.

I'd love to see the Grief in the game; there are a couple of really well done versions for CFS2.  Relatively small production runs though, so would probably be perked.  The Condor on the other hand, would be the obvious choice: many produced, saw wide usage on several fronts, strengths and weaknesses--and I've always wanted to fly one!

Again Senna early production models of the He177 did have problems but were later resolved with the A5 version. Same Myth goes about the Fw190. The Fw190 had heating problems with the first version the A1 then later the A2  fixed it by re routing  the exhaust and the engine troubles all but dissapeared.


The He177 would be great for an MA buff It wouldn't inbalance the arena any more than BNZ Lancs and B17s we have currently.

Anywho considering some other planes we have unperked (N1K2) ,and perked (F4U1C,Ta152) that had low production numbers I wouldn't disregard them to not being modeled and portrayed in AH.

Do217 K-2 could carry two Henschel Hs 293s or two SD1400 X (Fritz X) missiles under wings. Max speed was 333mph (533 kmh)...

This pick shows Do217 K-2 with Hs293 A missile and drop tank ? under wings :p
