I would like to see the Dornier Do 217 as a german bomber in the future. It was produced in decent numbers (around 2000) and it served from 1941 until the end of the war as a bomber, dive bomber, and night fighter (even though we would never see it used as a fighter). It could carry more than a JU88 and was just about on par and sometime higher than a B17 (depending on the mission distance of the 17). Think it would be a good future aircraft to see. Of course the M-1 model is listed for the specs but I would be happy with any version if it in the game (sources: combination of wikipedia and a few other sites)

Crew: 4

for MA bombers, we could add:
Ju-188
Do 217
He 177
Ju-188 would have guns and bombload
Do 217 would have speed and bombload
He 177 would have all three, and need to be perked rather highly.
Also, the Ju-88 could carry about as much as the B-17 could on a typical run.
