Go Deeper, What was it used for? Where was it used? what was it's History? Why should AH Add it?

I think the answers to your questions are pretty obvious... 8k of bombs would mean that its a med/heavy bomber... the prefix 'Do' is for 'Dornier', a German aircraft company, and history is probably rather short, considering unless it was around before 1940, (which it doesnt look like, based on performance), it would not have seen action in the BoB and probably was not used all that much. It think the answer to the last question is pretty obvious, being that the German bomber fleet is extremely anorexic.

Introduction: 1940
Number built: 1,905
In almost every way, the Do 217 was a success. It could carry a much heavier bombload than either the Heinkel He 111 or the Junkers Ju 88. It was also very fast, surpassing both aircraft in maximum speed. The Do 217 was built in series from November 1940 to May 1944. There was a desire for the Do 217 to be capable of performing dive bomber duty, so it was therefore fitted with a tail mounted air brake. It was Germany's largest bomber for nearly two years until the Heinkel He 177 was finally safe enough to use. Do 217's sank the Italian battleship Roma with Fritz X missiles as she steamed to the Allies after Italy's capitulation. Do 217's were phased out of combat use in mid 1944.
