Also some combination of 60 Kg bombs, but I can not find the number.

In the german wikipedia for the attack on Dutch Harbor, they say the B5N carried each one 250kg-bomb and up to six 60kg-bombs. Increasing the bombloads possibilities of the "Kankoh" would be a really cool thing (f.x. 6*100kg, 2 or even 3*250kg, 1*250kg + 4-6*60kg).

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!

Maybe it is possible to include a new (british) bombsight into the game, instead of more aircraft (of course I will be glad for EVERY plane that might come in future
). After patch 4.13 with all the beautiful US, german, russian and japanese bombsight, and after investigating what the british used to hit their targets, this might be a "gap" which would be worth to close (in principle, vector bombsights exist in Il-2 since patch 4.09 - in the SM-79). Including a Mk. XIV bombsight into a Mosquito B-version (or a Mk.III for Coastal Command Mosquitos) might be "realtivly easy" (compared to a complete creation of the interior of a Blenheim or even a Wellington) to get a lot of possibilities to bomb the Germans bits and bytes out of France... It also would be a formidable platform for modders to include this bombsight in a modded aircraft.
