Note the glass nose on the screenshots- this version is equipped with a bombsite and no guns.

so did the bomber/navigator have to lie on the floor to use the bombsight? looks like it from the cockpit screenies.

I think, if I recall correctly without digging out the books, that the bomb aimer/navigator sat in a copilots seat for most of the flight and only wriggled into position in the nose for the bomb run. I forget if he laid down or not, I think the space is a bit bigger than it looks in the in-game screenies.

You're right, I didn't realize this model doesn't have the 4 20mms in the nose..

Ok, you got me- but in generic flight sim speak (at least in every one I've ever flown), Norden usually is just shorthand for bombsight like drunks is for paratroopers (and SAPPers).

Not the ride I would have preferred (still hoping) but anything new is a plus for me.

This is a completely different beast which will be used in a completely different way. It's not comparable at all to the Mossie already in game, due to
- having a big bomb load
- having a bomb sight
- having no guns at all.

So it's a bomber which will fill a similar role as the Arado 234.
