I recall readintg elsewhere on this board that someone (who has enviable chatting access to Dale) talked with him about HTC's future plans. In that discussion, both the B29 and the A26 were "down the line" perk plane projections.

If I werent about to go out for a Saturday afternoon of shopping with the Mrs., (I will endure, I will endure...) I'd do the search for details...

When I talked to Pyro a couple of weeks ago he mentioned the A-26 as one of the potential perk bombers in the future.  There are really only four bombers that have the performance/capability to be perk bombers, the Ar234, A-26, B-29A and Mosquito B.Mk XVI.

Pyro didn't give any indication when the A-26 might be added though, so don't get your expectations up for seeing it in a near future release. just that it will eventually get here we hope.
