You smell that? Do you smell that?
Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
The smell, you know that gasoline smell, smelled like victory.

Do we need more buffs for MA gameplay? IMHO no. The B-17 and the B-26 fill the heavy/medium bomber role excellent. A Lanc could maybe sport a bigger bombload but lacks defensive fire power (no belly turret, .303 MG's for defense), a Ju 88 could carry torpedoes to attack shipping in later versions, although torpedo attacks were until now usually replaced by Jabo attacks in a MA environment, but has rather anemic defensive armament.

Regarding Scenarios and a possible RPS any additional plane is certainly welcome, and everyone awaits new planes eagerly, but the MA can only be filled with more underdogs or some late war uberplanes - exceptions like P-47 taken.

Az - I believe I heard the Lancaster will be one of the variants that used .50s for defence(but it is still extremely lacking defence wise).

I know, the fighter pilots are a squiggly bunch that can't designate compass headings, don't know how to hold course or to navigate and all, but that's going too far rip: fighter-bomber != bomber
