There's only a few heavies I would really like to see

The four engined He177 Greif



Long range bomber which struck enemy supply depot's and other targets deep in Soviet territory. Also bombed convoys with radio guided bombs, but it was not successful at that task.

And the Martin Marauder, the only beautiful Allied WW2 bomber IMO

More produced than the B-17,but never as popular..

Often compared with the better-known B-17 Flying Fortress, the B-24 was a more modern design with a higher top speed, greater range, and a heavier bomb load; however, it was also more difficult to fly, with heavy control forces and poor formation-flying characteristics. Popular opinion among aircrews and general staffs tended to favor the B-17's rugged qualities above all other considerations in the European Theater.
The placement of the B-24's fuel tanks throughout the upper fuselage and its lightweight construction, designed to increase range and optimize assembly line production, made the aircraft vulnerable to battle damage.
The B-24 was notorious among American aircrews for its tendency to catch fire. Moreover, its high fuselage-mounted "Davis wing" also meant it was dangerous to ditch or belly land, since the fuselage tended to break apart.
Nevertheless, the B-24 provided excellent service in a variety of roles thanks to its large payload and long range.

The bombers in CLOD aren't so heavy.. yet.. The wellingtons in there but as we know it cant be flown yet. I wonder if the 'C' version with waist side guns may be added?

Nice picture.

If the Blenheim is any indication, I'd say the devs are a long way from making the Allied bombers properly flyable.



And yes I know that you can "fly" the Blenheim. But if that's your idea of how this, or any aircraft actually behaved, well, then I'm looking forward to your entry of an Austin 7 at next years LeMans 24 hour race.

AFAIK someone, guess Loki, was beginning to build one.

Then the Halifax and some other toys for night raids and night fights would round it up.
