Bomber crews are the true heroes of WWII and the same applies for the previous but also

the later theatres, therefore a superb game like the forthcoming title should abide to this

Norm and invest in that aspect.


Closing, i understand that dog fighting is an extremely successful stress reliever and appeals

to the general public and shouldn't be scorned for it provides substantial sales on each own,

apart from the fact that it is surrounded by each own myths and the "promise" of easy

sex .. However we must never forget about those that really have guts of steal ...

Best Regards.
Unfortunately Gaga SoW is carrying on in the same idea IL2 did regarding bombers.

Don't quote me on this, but as far as I can remember these aircraft are slated to be flyable:

Hurricane MkI (possible variants based on prop - sorry, tiny pilot not included)
Spit MkI
Blenheim Mk IV (aka Bolingbroke)
D.H. TigerMoth - 2 seat trainer.
Bf-109 (possible variants with or without cannons)
Bf-110 (D I believe)
He-111
Ju-87 B-2
Ju-88 A-1
Fiat G-50
Fiat Br.20 (bomber)

Su-26 as a demonstrator of the FM to current pilots, and just for fun

as AI:

Gloster Gladiator
Vickers Wellington
Avro Anson (2 possible types)
Avro-Rota Cierva Autogyro
Supermarine Walrus
Short Sunderland
Boulton Paul Defiant (possible night-fighter variant)
Blenheim MkI (possible night-fighter variant)
Bristol Beaufighter
FW-200
He-59
He- 115
Do-17 (two variants with differing engines)
Ju-52 (with and without floats)
Fiat CR.42
Bf-108 Taifun

Pretty comprehensive if you ask me, especially for a first release. With 3rd party input it will only get better.

PS- if anyone wants to update this list, go for it, I'm only going off memory.
