One wikipedia isnt a source, two you should find more info and put this in the suggestions (check if somebody has made a suggestion about it first)

[gewooneenpiloot]

I found multiple sources with the same info but wikipedia had it all on 1 page. And what kind of more info do you want

[Warpig]

Heavy bomber gameplay is dead in this current version of the game.

It’s not about what he wants, it’s what the suggestion mods want before they forward something to devs.
So unless you want to share just a cool aircraft with people, better fo to the suggestions area and read up on how to make a proper suggestion.

Junkers Ju 290A-7 - From Luxury Airliner to Superbomber

The Junkers Ju 290 A-7 was one of the final bomber models of the Ju 290 series. Equipped with the powerful BMW 801 engine, it was a development of the previous Junkers Ju 90 transport, which itself stemmed from the Junkers Ju 89 bomber. The decision to adapt the Ju 290 for maritime patrol had resulted from a demand from the Fliegerführer Atlantik for an aircraft with adequate endurance to reconnoiter far out over the Atlantic to accurately plot enemy convoys and assemble and marshal U-boat packs…

Id love to see more bombers in the game along with purpose and reason for them to be here. Unfortunately in todays game of Air Team Deathmatch pointless game play it just doesn’t make sense. Gaijin has gone out of there way already to ruin bomber damage models, cripple the crew gunners and remove anything that resembles actual strategic targets. You dang sure aren’t attacking something in AB/RB and sim is nearly as much PVP as RB these days. So unfortunately in today’s game theyd be better off removing everything that isnt a fighter plane and just be done with it. Then call it air dogfight battles!
