The Dornier Family
In the early 1930s a new generation of aircraft was steadily changing the world of commercial aviation in Europe. There were more and more aircraft that were both light and fast, and boasted efficient airframes and retractable landing gear. Those planes were not only faster than their contemporary military counterparts… but also faster than some fighters! That was a weird turn of events for sure — but, most importantly, it prompted the military to change their views on bombers. Why would you build just aircraft that are heavy and slow when you could also make bombers that are light and fast? Thanks to their speed, they would never have to face their opponents directly… and it seemed that it wasn’t even that difficult to make aircraft like that.

Will the KV-1E go on sale anytime soon? I’ve been dying for that thing.
Wait for the Summer Sale/Event.
6/10. Its fine for someone not familiar with early LW bombers. Some lesser known fact reveled (and correct), but many other errors in context and history. Missed out on Do 335, which was in fact another bomber design made into a fighter just to have a contract to make airplanes. Clue is the internal bomb bay that carried up to 1000kg (smaller PC 1000, not larger SC1000).
I do not recommend the Dornier family.
When will we get british, french and italian P-47s? These countries actually used them, unlike Germany who just nabbed 1 or 2.
we don't need any more copy paste vehicles
bossonator, We still need the M4A4 75mm for the British since it was the main variant of the Sherman that they used.
The Do 217 E2 - E4 - K1 - M1 hands down the best bombers in the game.
pls gib Do 217K-2 and K-3 with Fritz-X capability
