Ju88C6 status?

Earlier versions of the He 111, the Ju 88 fitting for the BoB version of the Channel map, aswell as Do 17 and Ju 87 B-1 or B-2.

109E-3 isnt too important I think. Not so different than E-4, with very similar performance.
As for bombers, He-111H-2 is perfect for BoB. Even H-6 can be used to simulate H4. We have fitting Ju-88 variants too. A-1 and A-5 early are again perfect. They are not flyable, but the later A-5 was also used in BoB, which you can fly. Ju-87B-2 is flyable since ages. Maybe a Ju-87R-2 would be useful later, which is almost the same as the B-2.
The Do-17, I can agree. I forgot about this, it is direly missing from the game.
As for seaplanes, I wouldnt mind, especially the Ar-196. But I dont think there would be any use for them, because you cant damage ship components, like AA guns.
EDIT: I think there is one more plane that would be fun to fly, and would have uses: FW-200

The Bf-109E-3 is greatly needed as it would be used for pre BoB operations aswell. Yes, it is similar to the already present E-4 when it comes to speed an maneuvrabillity, but not in armament. The E-3 was armed with the 20 mm MGFF while the E-4 was armed with the MGFF/M. Might seem like a slight diffrence but latter packe a far more serious punch. But anyway, I do see the need for a Bf-109 version that could be used from the beginning of the war untill the arrival of the E-4.

So would the Ju 87 B-1. Forgot about the B-2 though. Off course we already have that.

I think there is a great use for the Ar-196. Just as the A6M2-N it saw many uses. They patrolled coast lines, performed reconnaisance and anti-submarine missions and saw plenty of action against enemy aircraft awell. It also saw use by the Finnish as a transport and supply plane for the Finnish long range patrols. So in that way it's just as useful as the upcomming transports and can be used for many a secret mission behind the Soviet lines. Over all the game needs more flyable seaplanes than just the A6M2-N. And aircraft like Ar-196 and He-115 are needed for that reason.

+1 for Bf 109E-3 and Do 17
Even Bf 109e-1 would be great!

If we really want to be silly, there's the Ju 290, a hundred or so produced, but a monster of a plane, 20mm cannon all over it.

But this one is really good, although this is a Ju-88R cockpit (C, but BMW engines, otherwise the same)

I'd kindof like to see the C6 version from the Eastern Front that didn't have a gondola! I remember the original modeller of the Ju-88 built it and a few others ...but only one variant made it into the game.

Maybe one day...



A scale model, but it shows well the placement of the MG-17 ammo racks
