The b24 and He111 could be interesting with lots of small bombs

It’d be hard to effectively use though
carpet bombing
The B24 is quite a bit heavier then then the Ju-188, but the B25 and P61 are roughly in the same weight category. If they added a bomber, like the B25 I would use it like I used my Ju-188 by dive bombing, and since it would also carry a minimum crew of 5 could also be used as a paratrooper squad like the Ju-188. The B25 normally carried a crew of 6, but if incorprated my guess is DF would eliminate the Navigator thus giving it a crew of 5.

The problem with bombers, even the ones in-game, are their engine power. Planes like the SBD, JU-188s, Stukas, etc. just fall out of the air since they have like no engine power and have to constantly be making turns. Add bigger bombers(B-17, B-24, HE-111, etc) and you’ll have an even bigger issue, considering these planes are even heavier and have(relative to their weight) even less power.

I get a ton of kills with my Stuka, Ju-188 and my Su-2. Yeah, they are slow and don’t last long with Enemy fighters, but I prefer them over a fighter. NTM my Stuka can take a ton of punishment. 
I have recently started flying in level 3 Russians my US made P-40 as my fighter and my Su-2 and parked the APC, since I now use my APC’s for level 2 and the other for level 5. The P-40 has three bombs, so I can do double duty with it and it’s good for downing enemy bombers. So, if DF made the B-25 and/or the P-61 it should react a lot like the Ju-188, which I probably get more kills with overall. Plus, with a five man crew even if I am shot down I have a good assaulter squad. The B-25 carries 5 to 7, but most of the time I think 6 crew since one was a navigator, which I am sure DF would exclude making it five man. The P-61 carried a crew of three.
We already have dedicated bombers in the game like the Sb-2m, B5N2, Avenger, and Ju-188, the problem is they just don’t have bomb sights in game.
