B-18 Bolo Aircraft, anti-submarine Hey we forgot something,
how about adding the Douglas B-18 patrol aircraft to the game? B-18s played a significant part in the U-boat hunting campaign in World War II and we seem to forgotten them in both Silent Hunter III and Silent Hunter IV, respectively. How about adding them in the game?

It says here that a B-18 sank a U-boat off the coast of French Guyana in 1942. The B-18 did a play a role in the Battle of Atlantic and it's about time someone acknowledged that.

I relocated it because my original post was in the wrong category.

Yeah, one of the aircraft i wanted to do for GWX 2.0 but never had time, it ended up on the 'will do it if time allows' pile -
(Along with the Blenhiem, B25 michell, Martin Marina and the BV-138)
Maybe i can model one some time over the next few months...
If i do it i'll let you know :) Im taking a break from 3d stuff though
