With the release of the B-25 the PBJ-1H came along side as a premium BRV attacker that can both be spawned making for a deadly air lineup… while it’s always been americas strong suit i think it’s fair to get something like it.

This was just an initial thought and i cannot be bothered to scour warthunder for another suggestion, if you have one or a reason that germany shouldn’t get the same treatment as US then please share below.

Camo and its historical photo, from warthunder live along with its squad icon.

No if it will just be a copy paste yes if it will be something actually diffrent/ useable.
If you just copy a Ju 188 but dont address the issue of no offencive armaments then it will still be entirely useless in contested skies as nothing stops the enemy from just doing a head on approach and kill you for free.

So unless they add something with forward facing guns no amount of payload changes can make the plane truely viable.

Germany is packed with medium bombers.
There is zero reason to copy paste the tech tree one to premium.

Honestly would be nice to see even different payload options, early cluster bombs, definitely more napalm bombs for simple variety.

As well weaker fighter planes at higher BR would benefit from a ‘napalm’ fuel tank drop where available.

The Do 217E-4 would be a good option. This aircraft is capable of carrying six 250 kg bombs, and in addition it is equipped with one fixed 20 mm cannon, another 20 mm cannon in a gun position, as well as several small-caliber machine guns.
