What should the next 'new' aircraft be to fly?Rather than variants of existing Models

Besides why introducing an american aircraft when aircraft such as the Wellington and Do 17 Z aren't flyable?

Agree totally with your opinion Thor, and that is why I should have said useable rather than flyable model.

The reason I went for the B-24 was the variety of missions that could be carried out in the seas around 'Blighty' which seem to be very playable on frame-rates. Also the Do is an existing model that could be made flyable rather than a new model.

I also have to concede the point that without ships there wont be much for Coastal Command to do! So fair point.

I'm just thinking of the future and what it may bring. Still it will be interesting to see what models users would be interested to see.
