Let me guess what Karnak is thinking.... :)

I sympathize.

Don't worry though, Karnak, it has to even out eventually. Sooner or later ALL the German planes will be modeled.  ;)

So you can't even read in States. Let me give you a helping hand:

G E R M A N S  N E E D  A  H E A V Y   B O M B E R

Read it VERY slow and think about it. Germany was that Axis country in WW2. Heavy is something with bigger bomb load than in Ju-88; something like 4000-6000 kg.

Now if you want HTC to add some another plane in AH please start your own topic and don't try to hijack this one. You got a topic where ppl asked a Japanese bomber but AFAIR no'one went there to ask He-177.

Why is it that you need to toejam on every topic where someone asks a heavy bomber like He-177 ?

A wellington? or a Whitley?...maybe a hampdem...  ;)

was a good joke funked. RAF needs a Mosquito or/and a Beaufighter. We LW guys miss the Me110s and (PLEASE!!!!!!!!  :)) Me410s.

But you wont tell me that the german bombers are well represented in AH.

I dont say is an overriding need (frankly I'd get five times a Me410 before a He177) but well, a german heavy would be quite welcome...I think  :)

Do217 would by my vote.

It is only fair when it comes to an Axis vs Allied arena.  You can argue history and real life production numbers all you want, but when it comes to play balancing an Axis vs Allied historical arena (not a scenario, but a 24/7 arena) the Axis and Allies should have a comparable force.  The need for a heavy bomber is quite clear.

The Germans didn't HAVE a heavy bomber, at least not in sufficient numbers that would justify an implementation in Aces High. The HE177 was the worst piece of crap due OKL stupid request of dive-bomb capability, the thing looked nice on the drawing pad, but killed problably more crewmembers in flying accidents then combatmissions. The Dornier 217, well,as as far as i have heard (and i may be wrong) was the prefered travelmaschine for Gernerals and Parti Hot-shots. And by the time beeing the Ju188 was operational, all the remaining bomberpilots had been transfered to fighterunits, 'cause thats where every single man was needed.
So i dont realy understand all the hysteria.
Unless you know something that i don't know.
In this case i would appreciate futher information...

Too funny Staga.

Guess you have forgotten how other threads get hijacked when asking for aircraft for the other nations, eh?

Pot and kettle, I think.

You guys don't need a 'heavy' bomber... just send over more JU88's!

Need German heavy bombers in the HA?  You do realize that HA stands for "Historical Arena"?

BTW DjV do YOU realize He-177 bombed London, it saw action in East-front as bomber and tank-killer, transported troops, food and gears, sinked and damaged couple battle-ships and several destroyers and cargo-vessels?

Do you actually know anything about He-177 ?
If not maybe you should search some info about it before typeing comments like that.

I agree. The Germans need a bomber that is superior to the Lancaster just as they need fighters that are superior to the Spitfire F.IX and Typhoon IB.

An He177 in AH wouldn't have any of the mechanical short commings.  It would climb faster and fly faster than the Lanc, be better armed and only carry 1000lbs less in bombs.

By all means, complete the sweep and give the Germans all of the cards.
