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?

Hey Sven, who stuck the extra 2 engines on the HE177, its 2 engine bomber only.

Yes and no. Each 'engine' is in fact two mounted side-by-side, geared to a common propshaft. Not a very good idea, as it turned out. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_177#Engines)

Although i prefer the early model with coupling fires, could have been used in BOB?
