If not already stated; the B-26B Marauder. I have the flight training manual if the team needs it. This plane is essential to a Midway scenario.

B-26B, 44-01373, 69th BS

Sorry but this will never happen thanks to the Northrop-Grumman issue

Douglas A-26

And if we talk about smaller updates:

-A-20H Boston
-Bf 110C-1 or maybe even Bf 110C-3, but C-1 is priority by me

Indeed it does! The only way to get to fly Northrop-Grumman related aircraft not already in the stock game is to play mods. Well...or pay Northrop-Grumman what ever they want in some kind of license fee for the rights to such an aircraft.

Yeah the A-26 is a must as well for Normandy missions.


My Grandfather, PFC Gabriel E. Maldonado was a top gunner on both A-20's and A-26's in the 640th Bomb Squadron, 409th Bomb Group.

Only for about one hour, and they all missed I just read the book "Shattered Sword" on Midway, flight by flight analysis of every attack on the Jap carriers with maps and direction diagrams, and full analysis of CAP in the air over the entire day. Awesome book!

In a Midway scenario, its about as essential as the Vought SB2U Vindicator or the B-17.

For SW Pacific, Mediterranean, and NW European campaigns, it's THE major missing USAAF combat aircraft type in terms of numbers built and combat effectiveness. The A-20 sort of fills the same role, but it's not as fast.

I agree with you here Pursivant!

Sure, to have the B-26 in the stock game would be cool! But there are to many other far more important allied aircraft missing.
We already have FOUR American bombers, the two A-20-versions, the B-25 and the B-24 as flyables, but we have NO British bombers at all!!! There is a far more desperate need to fill in for the lack of British bombers in my book.
Especially with the new Channel map comming up.

I'll take the Wellington and the Blenheims as flyables any day over the B-26 to be honest! Off course I would not mind the Beaufort's or the Swordfish reaching flyable status either.

Since the Avengers are out of the question I would love seeing atleast the Swordfish reaching flyable status. And a Sea Hurricane to fill the gap of an early R.N. carrier borne fighter. These are needed for carrier borne operations in the Med especially!
