Title: re Bof B
Post by: Yarbles on August 15, 2010, 06:28:55 AM
I put this in here as no one seems to look in special events general.

I reckon we desperately need an early war German medium bomber (Heinkel or Dornier) for the B of B scenario which is arguably the most important air campaign in history. The ju88 is too fast and unrepresentative the JU87 is better but still only represents a fraction of the bomber force.

I hope this becomes a priority in the near future  :pray

I agree.  Need the He-111 and the Do-17z and also the D0-217.

+1. We also need the Betty bomber. I dont like chasing down Ju88s in a P40B.

Didn't we used to be able to do something like pork fuel or maint at a base so something like the Ju wouldn't get as good performance out of its engines, or am I misremembering?

I am not a fan of German airplanes and will avoid flying them if at all possible.  However I do agree especially in light of the various scenarios the Axis planeset could use some new platforms.

Used to be able to pork fuel to limit aircraft range

Unfortunately if this comes to a vote I cant see many voting for a German Bomber that wont be used in the MA. In the abscence of a representative aircraft I think B of B would be better just using the Stuka but have 50;50 sides for fighters and a further 20 for the stuka so Germans v British (and all the other nationalities eg commonwelath plpolish etc) around  70:50.

personaly i think the he111 should be brought to the game,it is need for early  war and for special events.OK  so
it wont be great in the late MA but hell id still fly it i love the plane and it looks quite sweet in a german sort of way
