What this game truly lacks is a free B24D. That would cover MAW, ETO, and PTO. A very much publically neglected aircraft in its day, in the shadow of the B-17 who got the glory, but more 24s were built, could fly faster, farther and carry a bigger bomb load. Even today the B-17s name is more recognizable than the 24's. Pity
I'd go for Sunderland. We already have a B-24 in Firepower, even if it is payware. Sunderland is an iconic aircraft sorely missing.
@ Warfreak, Luftwaffe might not agree with you. From Wikipedia - "On 3 April1940, a Sunderland operating off Norway was attacked by six German Junkers Ju 88 medium bombers and managed to shoot one down, damage another enough to send it off to a forced landing, and drove off the rest. The Germans are reported to have nicknamed the Sunderland the "Fliegendes Stachelschwein" (Flying Porcupine) due to its defensive firepower and to the several prominent antennas protruding from it".
@ Nachtpiloten - whichever aircraft you choose, I'm positive she'll be a real cracker and a welcome addition in the hangar.
Absolutely Stan and Ted after your recent Sea Eagle venture, the Sunderlland seems a natural progression, besides your Ju88C-6's want a rematch. It'd great to have big flying boat too. The Sunderland saw action in every theatre in WWII and Korea. I'd like to see a freeware B-24 too, as we're limited with what can be done to the present copyrighted Firepower model. Coastal Command heavily modified it's Libs. I'd love to see one carrying 20mm cannon gun pack, rockets, a leigh light and British turrets. So for me Queen of the Seas first then a Lib.
You must have broad shoulders, Ted! I'd rather see something that isn't yet available, and from the local interest point I'd like to see a Sunderland: there were lots of them based fairly near to me once (plus Catalinas, Walrus, etc, etc, hint, please!) :d
