Scenario: With America at the footsteps of Japan preparing for invasion, the Soviet Union begins the repreation of lands seized by Japenese forces in the early stages of WWII.  Part of their last Allied meeting, Stalin promised Truman that he would begin his push late June against former Soviet lands now occupied by Japanese forces.  With assistance from lease-lend bombers and other aircraft as part of that agreement, the VVS (Soviet Air Force) is poised to strike hard against their much-hated enemy.  With little armored forces but with agile and nimble fighters, Japan is not willing to let go these conquest east-asian lands without a fight.

G4M (sub Bf110)

What....not even close...in my less than esteemed opinion it would be better to have the B-25 subbing for this one. Granted the B-25 is a little bit faster in max and cruise speed but at least it is similar in weapon loadout and IS not easy to turn into a fighter like the 110s are.
