Flying the modded game I have done several multi hour missions in the H8K "Emily" flying boat on the 1 to 1 scale "Slot" map online. I can assure you that after all that time over open water, navigating with a stopwatch and compass headings only and delivering the bombs on target, it was very satisfying.
There is room in this sim for long range aircraft, and there are folks who are interested in flying them in a realistic manner.
Do we need a dozen different types of heavy bomber and recon aircraft? No. But to have some is a good thing. And more very large maps to use them on.
