1. only 4 engine bomber besides b29 that will survive in the MA.

2. carries large bombload.

3. heavy defensive armament

4. AH needs a new buff that can survive the MA.

5. the b24 is so ugly that it is beautiful.

6. I want to fly the B24 liberator

And the B17 is not survivable?

Anyway the B24 was said to much more vulnerable than a B17, especially to catasrophic fuselage fires. I hear this was due to some very vulnerable fuel lines running through the fuselage. If anything it would die easier than a B17.

B24 is not ugly, it looks great.

Im all for it it in AH, but hopefully after some other planes are put in.

b24 is roadkille theres no need for it.

AH buffs are easy kills so would a b24 be an easy kill.

b25 maybe but enough us ack platforms.......

Fighters and more fighter earlier the better....

B24 is an excellent request. I don't think there's any need to scoff at any new addition to the planeset, except perhaps MORE models of stuff we already have. We got nothing but time and the best in the buisness doing the hard work, I'm sure everyone will be happy eventually. The more planes the merrier. I'm just guessing, and hopeing we get the B-29. HTC did say in the MA once a long time ago that the 29 would make an excellent perk plane hehe.

I want MORE MORE MORE and I want it NOW! They day I spend 10 or 15 minutes browsing the hangar for a good "pick" to fly, I'll be way happy.

I disagree and think it's an attractive bomber with simple lines for ease of construction. But would you be expecting one of the early variants or the later variants with all them guns?

4 engine buffs that would survive in MA:

He 177
P 108
Coranado
Emily
Pe 8

The B 24 is a nice looking plane but why add another US heavy?, unless you are talking the B 29 whice I would rather see than a B 24, and you all know how I feal about adding more US stuff. I do howeaver feal that a Cornado would be a great choice for a US Buff/Sea plane. I say if you must do another US plane add a Coranado.

Theres far too many bloody fighters in AH,we need more bombers (medium bombers) especially on the German side,plus Id like to see more Gvs,trucks,Jeeps and tanks,we need to branch out a bit,get the strat sorted,not add more fighters

Because it played a very significant role in the war. Its name is infamous, unlike the AC you have mentioned. It was a maintstay of the USAAF. You just dont want to see more AC that are US in origin? Even given this AC's substantial credentials?

I love the Liberator but I can think of a dozen planes that would add more to the planeset.

Well Funked....let's hear 'em.

The Coranado is of US orgine.

In general I am apposed to the addation of US anything unless it is to enhance or fill a gap in an area that neads filling. the Coranado is a prime example. We have a US heavy, in the intrest of fairness I feal the adation of aircraft in other areas or for other countries would be more benifical for the MA. The primary reasion I generaly appose the addation of more US stuff is that we have so much of it already.

The B24 carried a larger bombload than the B17, and it also had a longer ranger and higher cruising speed. There were also more B24s produced than the B17. About the only places the B24 falls short to the B17 is in defensive armament (some didnt carry ball turrets), maximum ceiling, and the the amount of bomb tonnage dropped in World War II (B17 dropped more bombs in WW2 than B24).

So in conclusion, I would rather see the B24 introduced into AH than some unheard of piece of crap russian or german or itallian bomber that had a production run of about 20 aircraft and has no chance of surviving in AH combat.
