Only if they model it breaking in half when it lands. :)
-
it was common for the breaks to catch fire on landing as well!!!!
can we have a fire engine??? help put out the hanger fires quicker

Fw200 = Mossie food.

I'd say add it to give the Axis a 4-engine bomber option. However while it may find use in scenarios, judging from the quoted stats in the Mains she'll be a hangar queen.
