No. One of the requirements for inclusion into the game is seeing combat in unit strength. One prototype was built before the Me264 project was canceled.

The Me264 is a four piston-engined bomber.

And BnZ spake unto the people, and lo he said:

"What we needst is ye sacred 20lbs sledgehammer of thrice-wrought iron, upon which be engraved the Holy image of yon He111, with which to smite most smitingly whosoever asketh for some Luftwaffe '46 design that ye olde drunken aeronautical engineer once scrawled on a napkin in the beer-garden, while still there be real and historically important aircraft we havest not."

Production numbers and  active squadron history would be a start.

Here is a couple of places to visit to see Me-264

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_264

and according to one The Me 264 Amerika (America) was a long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft developed by Messerschmitt during World War II for the Luftwaffe. It was intended to support U-boat operations far into the Atlantic, serving both as a scout to direct the attack, as well as launching attacks of its own. The design was later selected as a competitor in the Reichsluftfahrtministerium's (the German Air Ministry) "Amerika Bomber"; programme, which intended to develop a strategic bomber capable of attacking New York City from bases in France or the Azores, although it is highly doubtful that this would have been achieved with a meaningful payload, if at all. One prototype was built, but production was abandoned to allow Messerschmitt to concentrate on fighter production while another design, the Junkers Ju 390, had been selected in its place as a maritime reconnaissance plane.

No, it looks like a pre-Americanized B-36 :D

Here's the prototype:

Four engines, not six. Two prototypes completed, one destroyed during bombing raid.
Never saw combat, dumb request.  :rolleyes:
