Hello,

1)The Do217N was produced in very small numbers (240 Do217N-1s with 95 being refitted as Do217N-2s). Compare this to the 2800+ Ju88Gs built for the same purpose. Since we have neither, I'd say the Ju88G would be the best choice based on service numbers. That said, it really depends on DT and if they want to make a Do217N. I wouldn't underestimate the amount of extra work it would entail however, Since the upcoming Do217K-1 in 4.10 has BMW801 engines versus the DB603s of the Do217N. This would require an extensive rework of the 3D model and a different FM to show the improved performance of the the engines. The cockpit would also need to be rebuilt. Sounds like a ton of work. I do have detailed Do217N references if DT wish to proceed with it.

2) I'm with you all the way on the CR.32. Heavily used in the SCW it was also deployed in large numbers in North Africa in 1940. CR.32bis & CR.32quater would be the best variants to make IMHO. The CR.32 was used by 9 different airforces (including Hungary if somebody wants to make a stink about no Med airplanes).

3) The Ki-10 is indeed interesting and 588 were built, but given the sparse coverage of the Pacific I'd say there are more pressing concerns (Japanese bombers, TBD, SB2C, etc). It's up to DT again.

Cheers,
