B-17F: I chose this because I think it would be easier to add than a whole new airplane. HTC has an existing B-17 3D model, flight model, textures and so on that they would be able to modify into a new B-17.

Adding a B-17F to AH would give B-17 pilots an interesting decision. The B-17F would climb faster and have a higher level speed than the B-17G. However, the B-17G would have better guns.
