Why add more american (or even any allied) bombers when there's serious holes in AH's axis bomber selection?

There's only 2 axis multi engine bombers, isn't there?

I'm working on it...(unofficially...). Here's where I'm at with it, with still a lot to do:


Update 12/13/02: added recessed wheelwells for all gear, added all gear parts; rolling wheels; steerable nosegear: working "snap-action" bomb bays with Mk17 and Mk6 bombs inside; retraction sequence for landing gear perfected; virtual cockpit in progress; flight model better, and still being tweaked. All that and still much to do.

looks like it - i see double turrets on top - that certainly was the point of the program anyway - but it went further w/ the B-17/B-40 i think...

Unlikely Corey - Germany had surrendered long before either of the A-bombs were dropped.

Of course it is, this is a WWII sim, HTC isn't going to model post-WWII planes to put in it, then it would be a 'WWII and after' sim. [/B]


no its not, the US kept them ready in case the war started up again.:p :p :p

He had to kill 7 men. It was ether a lanc or a halifax but he hated himself for doing that till he died in 96. Grandpa.


This attitude deserves positive highlighting.

And, at least according to a conversation I had several years ago with Gunther Rall, Luftwaffe officers were required to resign membership in any political party, including the NSDAP. A military regulation that was intended to eliminate political affiliation as an issue for leadership and promotion, as I recall.

I doubt that I would be able to say the same to many veterans of SS units, but I told Gunther Rall, Walter Schuck, and the other German aces and veterans who attended the 'Gathering of Eagles' event that I attended that, while I couldn't respect the regime that sent them to war, they fought for their country and did their duty to the best of their ability, and I respected them for their skill and dedication, particularly considering the odds that they had to face as the war continued.
