That's all that is left of the AH1 aircraft, they will likely start on the early AH2 ones after that.

Hope they have the Ju-88C-6 when they update it.

Ditto, the C6 would be swell, any other night fighter/fighter-bomber variants would be great as well.  Various P models, or G models as well.  It'd be really cool to someday get a Luftwaffle plane with that jazz music upward firing anti-bomber pew pew system, and the Ju88 IMO would be a great way to implement that.  Oh the wailing and nashing of teeth from bomber pilots (except 999000 who would just shoot you down with the belly turret), can be heard already.

I see no way that this "wailing" is going to happen. The Ju-88 would be a very slow and large target trying to get into firing position, and the way aiming would be quite unusual for the fighter pilot.
Just like in real life, it would basically only work on bombers unaware of the enemy's presence.

I envisioned a Ju 88 with 4 AR-15's shooting up from the fuselage.

I'm pretty excited about how short that list has gotten.  Personally IMO the rest are "good enough", I hope they bring some new stuff once they've completed the AH1 model upgrade.  G55 or J2M would be my preference, but pretty much anything that would fill out the scenario/FSO planeset would be great too.

I would love to try that loadout on a formation of bombers.  According to the article, it took 100 man hours to load the battery though.
