Although I'd like the He111 and the Do217 should come first it would be a nice addition. We do have a lack of bombers in AH. The bomber was a level bomber.
-
He111 and Ju188 would be far preferable.
If the Do17 were to be added it should be the Do17Z from the Battle of Britain.
-
It would be nice, but it would only be useful in scenarios.
HTC needs to be making new rides that will get action and generate excitement in the MA - that is their 'bread and butter'.
-
He111 or the Do217 could help.

ehm... the ju88 is badly misused (hangar queen) and totally inpotent in the LW MA.
Add the one what was clearly inferior to it :aok ..... :bhead

it wouldn't be a hangar queen any more if they added the heavy fighter cannon pack for a hangar option (much like the B25C strafer gunpack)

To say it's impotent is wrong. She is capable of inflicting serious damage and you would be surprised how many people line up from the 5-7 positions against her. I've shot down a 262, a couple of Tempests and a few F4U-1C's and -4's with the defensive guns because of this, AND I RTBed. Makes for some good perks. :D Of course there were times I didn't make it home (because the pilot knew how and had the patient to attack the 88's), but more often than not, the person who intercepts me just makes it too easy to rack up perks. :devil
To say she's a hanger queen, you won't get an argument from me. I very rarely see anyone else flying her. I see the G4M1 and Ki-67 more than the Ju-88. :cry
As for the OP, +1 for the Do-17, but make it the z variant. The Do-17z was the primary Do-17 used in BoB. Regardless, +1 for a Do-17. :aok

WHAT IS THIS HE177 WANNA BE!!!

olds: wtf?
Volron: well, poor hymi couldnt outturn my ju88 in his spit16 about a month ago, he had to play the ho and run. Does it mean that the ju88 isnt inpotent? Nope, its still, slow as hell, cant climb, weak firepower with very limited firing directions. Its an early war bomber, capable against early war fighters but totally inpotent against the late war cannon monsters. <S> and respect your kills in it.
Shemp: yup, that would be GREAT. This models screaming for an update, i hope we can get a better armed variant.
-
Let have the Z model then. The Ju88 isn't inferior. A B5N took a F4U out of the sky, Vals can shoot down a corsair, so then why can't a Ju88 defend itself with its more firepower? The Ju88 is a bomber that's just misused, not inferior.

Do-17 +1

Ugly thing, ain't it? :D
