Please state those reasons. I can't think of any.

Only the very early examples of the Mk I had that, mostly as a holdover from the Manchester. The Mk II used Bristol Hercules VI engines, otherwise being similar to the later Mk Is.

The Mk II couldn't carry that, so no. The B.Mk I 'special' or B.Mk III 'special' were the examples that carried the 12,000 and 22,000lb bombs.

Post by: HighTone on August 10, 2011, 09:42:30 AM: I would rather see the Tu-2, Pe-2, He-111, S.M.79, or the Ki-49 added as bombers first.

We only have a total of three Axis bombers at this point (sans the B5N, D3A and the Ju-87) More Axis bombers/attack aircraft first...IMO...unless it's Russian bomber because I think that is sorely needed.

B52, put something modern in there that costs 20k perks to annoy people. I enjoy a good joke.

I didn't miss them, I said there are only three Axis bombers not including the D3A, B5N and the Ju-87.

The G4M1, Ki-67 and Ju-88 were the three Axis bombers I was referring to.

Where I was wrong at was not counting the Ar-234. :uhoh

At any rate, some more Axis or Russian bombers would be nice :cheers:
