I just employed the services of two great pilots, Manfred von Richthofen aka The Red Barron, and Major Gregory “Pappy” Boyington, USMC Black Sheep Squadron. Ok, yeah, I know, kinda cheesy, especially since both were fighter pilots and I have the Red Barron flying a Stuka, but I don’t use fighters for Germany. Besides, the Stuka is quite a bit faster then his Fokker Dr.1 Triplane.
Seriously though, I mostly fly dive bombers but want to try out my F4U Corsair for Boyington which has Rockets, do they kill better, worse or about the same as a bomber? Are they better against personal, or tanks, or equal against both?

I get tons of kills with the Stuka, and especially the Ju-188 at level 5 so I am content to stick with what I know with the Germans. I do well with the Russian SU-2 at all levels. So far with the US, I have mostly flown level 2 or level 3 Mustangs, which I think only have one small bomb. So I switched to the Dauntless, and the A20-25 since it has an adequate bomb load out, but was thinking about trying out rockets. I do have the P47, but with Boyington flying the F4U Corsair, might give it a shot in combat. I really wish DF would add a B-25 bomber as it would be somewhere just above a light bomber, could probably carry in game a similar bomb load as the Ju-188 and it would have at least a five member crew, so they could also be used as assault troops once shot down, like I do with my Ju-188 crew.

The B-25 would be good as it’s empty weight is just over 20,000 lbs. while the Ju-188 weighs in just over 22,000 lbs… This is of course of my googled information is correct. So for me, there should be no reason DF could not add the B-25. They could even add the Martin B-26 bomber as it weighs in just over 24,000 lbs., but the B-25 is the more iconic of the two, and would present the allies with an equal alternative to the German Ju-188.
