You are too focused on the number of bombs it can carry as opposed to other factors which are what actually makes the Ju 188 a viable “Medium bomber” for Enlisted.
How is Ju-188A-2 remotly close to a P1Y1? Its closer to a Ki-67
Ju-188A-2 can only dream of having the climb rate and turn time of P1Y1
The P1Y1 can only dream of a bombload where its bomb bay can hold 6x 250kg or 1x 1800kg bomb
When it comes to climb rate, turn time then Ju-188A-2 is closer to Ki-67
Bombload wise sure the maximum bombload the Ki-67’s bombload is half of what Ju-188A-2 has but at least its not limited to 1-2x bombs like the P1Y1.
Ki-67 climbs and turn better bit better than the Ju-188A-2 and has roughly same maximum dive limit being in the Mid ~650km/h IAS
You clearly have never played the Ki-67
Ok NGL I didnt know the Ki 67 could do all that but what about the 49?
In any case I still wouldnt want the Ki67 because it feels out of place. The Ju188 is ok because its a freak show design that strikes somewhere between an attacker and a medium bomber.
Ki67s and 49s would be cool to see over the battefields of Manchuria as part of bomber formations. Buit I think there are diminishing returns to the amount of payload it has vs its speed and maneuverabilty. What makes a good Attacker/Dive bomber in this game is loiter time and the ability to shake off/defend itself. This is why I dont think the 67 and 49 are necessary additions
Yes however what are you going to repace the Ki-67’s with
Ki-49 actually has tighter turning circle than Ki-67, just roll rate is kinda crappy at higher speeds
