Why would we need the Halifax, when we already have the Lancaster, B-17, and B-24 is a mystery. Hell, throw in the Stirling, so we can fly a real dog. :uhoh We need a German heavy, the He-177. Oh, and give Denholm his He-111 already. Then maybe the SM.79 :aok

Nothing will make BoB scenarios work unless the bombers actually fly at historical speeds. Redone flight models on the Bf110 and Hurricane Mk I to take them down to their correct places would be nice too.
