New bomber? Whats the CT's take?

[Sable]

So there is a lot of speculation over what the new bombers is going to be in the main forum.  What bomber would the CT flyers like to see?

In maybe this order, but we could argue about that:

He-111
Ki-49 "Helen"
Il-4
Do-217
SM-79 "Sparveiro"
Vickers Wellington
North American B-25 Mitchell
Cant 1007 "Alcione"
Pe-2
Potez 631
H8K "Emily"
PBY-5 "catalina"
Aichi D4A "Judy"
Bristol Blenheim

After that, these (in no order):
Ju-52
Ki-21 Sally
B-24
Hs-123
Savoia Marchetti SM. 81
Su-2
Pe-8
He-177
Fiat Br 20
Hampden
Maryland
Baltimore
A-26
SB2 Helldiver
Arado 196
Cant Z.501


I'm sure I forgot several.

Agree with He-111 being number one.  SM-79 would be kinda a unique and interesting addition.

Good possibilities, but whatever bomber is added better have reasonable defensive armament or it will be just another museum piece, admired but rarely flown.

Well ... guess I'll just ditto my buddy Sakai.

[Grits]

I'm hoping for a Swordfish or a Skua, or maybe a B-18 Bolo.

Psssst .... this is CT's take on it. What's the great defensive armament on the Kate? It gets flown here.

[Grits]

Oh yeah, I also want an SB2U Vindicator, or a TBD Devastator.

[Arlo]

Sure. Until then, I'd settle for a nicely rendered skin to magically convert the Kate. Hehe

[Grits]

Nooooooo.....Kate is to UBER!!

[Soulyss]

I stand by my guess that we're getting the B-24.

[Karnak]

Er, Sakai, I think a Russian bomber needs to be a higher priority than all that.

Yep, so does the Val.  I musta been mislead by the multi engines on the original proposal.  

True nostalgia demands eventual inclusion of the Wellesley, TB-3, and CANT Z.506B.

I know what it is but I can't tell ya...nanny nanny booo booo! I will say that Sakai has a pretty good idea of what is being brought up for near future additions; including the upcoming bomber.

To answer all you who don't believe that I know it lets just say that I saw the Ki-84 about a week or so before Natedog posted the screenshots of it and Superfly is working on the bomber. When I saw it the bomber didn't have a texture at all and Superfly was finishing up a few problem areas.

Also the new models support having different textures in the formerly mirrored areas like the underside of wings and tail sections.
