I would love to see it, since we have 1 prototype built and flyable, but the payload must be carefully identified for this aircraft.

it’s great plane for Germany but i don’t think it’s good idea to add this for tec this would be very great premium event plane !

We already have a high br prop premium bomber, the Ju 288. The Ju 390 would be much better as a tech tree plane.

If GJ fixes damage model of planes that they won’t die to single 50 cal and bombers won’t die when someone looks at them funny we could have every interesting bomber like this one. But still bombers don’t have any actual use in battles. You can bomb but you won’t get much for that and overall you are a hindrance to your team.
Sad times. Still I want this beauty.

It used to be the opposite to that. All tiers had the standard 3 bases and then the airfield to destroy. This meant interceptors had a role to intercept bombers or else a well organised bomber squad could help win the match if your fighters were struggling and it was just you bombers left.

But a minority of fighter players whom were vocal seemed to have complained far too much that when they ignored bombers to do fighter v fighter combat only, the consiquences were bomber players could win a match for their team. So gaijin removed airfields as targets from around 4.0br upwards. And to stop space climbing made it so that the reward for bombing does little damage to the points compared to pillboxes that do more, therefore instantly cutting the point of bombers having been added in the first place.

This just leaves all of us bomber mains from 2014 completely exhausted and downtrodden, with no hope in sight to ever be able to see further bomber additions in the game other than those passed to suggestions, as the maps are large enough now and there are so many br brackets from 6.0-8.0 they could sit.

However unless we gain the ability to make an impact instead of just fighter v fighter duels in air rb (battles meant for all forms of players playing vehicles not just fighters), more and more of my bomber community friends will just keep leaving.

The last time we gained a good tech tree bomber was the Avro Shackleton. Otherwise it’s the He-177 A-3 in the battlepass but the He-177 still seems (from observation but I could be wrong) to have farrrr to much parasitic drag on it’s flaps at any deployment.

Hopefully we can gain bomber cockpits soon for us whom have waited since 2013/2014 for them as the developers told us back then the placeholder cockpits are placeholder, and airfield destruction comes back so teams have to actually work as teams to help defend against bombers and to assist bombers so that there are options if your fighter only force fails.

I remember good old days.

Sadly GJ isn’t interested in adding cockpits to multi engine bombers and from the look of it to some multi engine fighters also, like He 219.
Maybe from time to time we will get some but unless more players would bother GJ about bombers and cockpits, we wont see to many things.

The recent reason that was given is that it takes up too much developer time on making cockpits for bombers. HOWEVER within a few months later they gave every single Huey helicopter a full hd cockpit and back section for a first person perspective which I would argue is larger than 50% of all bomber cockpits needing to be made ingame.

its bigger than bv238?

About 10 m shorter and 10 m lesser wingspan
Only plane that we could possibly get that is bigger than BV 238 is Peacemaker iirc

The bigger, the better. I want more big bombers, so that’s +1 for me.
