If you are tired of your regular LW monster there are plenty of other fun planes to fly. For ex:
I-16 type 24 - Yes its an I-16 and yes its weird to prefer 2x .30 instead of 2x 20 mm but there are some upsides w the .30:s. First of all are they significantly lighter than the cannons and they also have an insane rate of fire, 1800 rpm each... This means that together with the cowling guns you can pop away 90 rounds per second and that makes them surprisingly dangerous. you also have 30 seconds of firing time for all guns so you have plenty of ammo.
Ju-87D Awfully slow and vulnerable but it can carry a lot of ords. 2300kg, which is more than most twin engine bombers. its the only single engine plane capable of killing a cruiser (afaik). I however prefer to leave the 1800 kg nuke and use the 1000kg GP or AP instead, the AP bomb can kill a hangar if you drop it through the roof. This means that you still have 2 x 250kg left for gvs or bunkers. Its also good for gv hunting, just use the 500kg plus 2x 250kg. Its especially effective in a "wild weasel" role, fly at 5000 ft agl and let the wirbles open up on you and give away their position, then just do a spiral dive and drop an egg in their head. You will win that duel 80 % of the time.
Tu-2 - ok everyone flies the Tu but not as a long range bomber. If you go with just the 9x100 kg internal bomb load you are not only outclimbing and outrunning the Ki-67, you can also go just as high and almost as far so hitting factories deep within enemy territory isnt a problem. You can also, if you want, drop your drones and dogfight anything that come after you. light and at 25k most interceptors will have a hard time to turn with you.
