Any plans to add flyable bombers?

[dresoccer4]

Just wondering if anyone knows of any future plans to add flyable bombers, like the A-20 that's already in the sim. Was thinking it'd be a very fun multi-crew experience. Imagine manning one of the gun turrets, firing away at passing bf-109s as they swoop and dive around you, while 100 of your brothers surround you in 50 other bombers all heading towards their target. chaotic fun.

The A-20 has a suitable light bomber, similar to a Mosquito FB M.VI on your version G, Or a A/J version

• 2-3 members
• Suitable bomb bay
• Opens Lead Lease soviet versions with torpedoes.

Or implement a Mosquito Bomber version as B Mk.XVI, with bomber cockpit and large bomb bay.

yeah exactly that's one reason I mentioned the A-20 as it seems like it'd be a good beginner bomber for DCS, as it's low crew count and simple but checks all the boxes for what a bomber should be. I think a lot of people would get enjoyment out of a flyable bomber in DCS.

anyone know if this is on the table at all for a future release?

No yet:

• ED dont talk a suitable bomber module yet, talks a Bf-109G and BoB modules, and the missing KS Me262 after F6F.
• Miltech 5 has talked a Ju-87 module continue on plans to a future module after Bo-105.
• Magnitude 3 next WW2 has unkonow after the F4U (rumors of a Zero module)
• Octopus-G has claimed a Po-2 as WW2 next module.
• Others 3rd Parties has unkonow is move to WW2.
• A He111 module by Aerges on a future?, we can dream.

we can indeed dream. hopefully a developer will see the light and create a flyable bomber. hopefully in my lifetime

Actualy any module on DCS has suitable.... and a FF bomber has easy to make, the only "handicap" will be a suitable bomber cockpit with propper bomber sight and a propper bomber multicrew (on fact on the A-20, a third cockpit). Good to see the "manual" very complex fuel system and multiprop engine management.
