Developers you must add Boeing B17 bomber to the Allies faction as a tier 5, since it was on of those bombers that the allies used, especially in battle of Berlin and the invasion of Normandy

The B-17 was a heavy bomber, the B-25 is much closer in size and weight to the Soviet T2S and German Ju-188 so it would be a better fit then the B-17. The B-25 could be made with the same five man crew compliment, and same bomb loadout and be the equal at level five. Plus, the T2S, Ju-188 and B-25 are all twin engine planes where the B-17 is four engines.
Soviet T2S empty weight 7,601 kg’s or 16,757 lbs. Top Speed 560 km/h or 348 mph
German Ju-188 empty weight 9,900 kg’s or 21,825 lbs. Top Speed 547 km/h or 340 mph
US B-25 empty weight 9,210 kg’s or 20,304 lbs. Top Speed 438 km/h or 272 mph
US B-17 empty weight 16,330 kg’s or 36,135 lbs. Top Speed 511 kp/h or 318 mph
B17 I have seen top speed listed as anywhere from 287-318 mph

Bombing runs should instead be overhauled into Heavy Bombers

I will say that the B25 and B17 were not dive bombers, and I don’t know for sure, but my guess is that the T2s and Ju188 were not either, however, they both work as dive bombers and I am sure the B25 could be used that way as well. I am not sure the maps are big enough to do much else with bombers, but I would be fine if DF wanted to invest the time, which my gut says it won’t. It’s hard enough getting them to do the things they say they are going to do, so, adding new things is another ball game. 
I agree, or maybe we could also add both of them, maybe B-25 as the last one on tier 5

There are some bombers armed and flyable in the editor. Maybe down the track??? (and more, I only posted allied ones, since you are asking about them)

It should definitely be a tech tree plane
