Negative, the Torpedo Bomber gotta be a Brewster Type Torpedo Bomber.

Thanks Pablo.
The planes are a Beech to look at but looking on how the Panelm lines are under the wings of said "torpedo Bomber", i figuted it had to be the Brewster type.

Would love to hear from the responsible creators if i am right tho... looking at the "catalina" gives me the heebyjeebies.

"Heavy Bomber” – a cross between a Boeing B-17 "Flying Fortress" and a Consolidated B-24D"

Dont tell me this means the 2 bombers are merged into one plane in 3-d right?

Unfortunately.... Yes...

They ask "American Choppers" for this custom plane

(I think there is a pic in our "screenshot thread....)

the hybrid models had increased fuel economy due to hydrogen cells and battery power.

Oscar... it is because if they would do a Boeing, the Boeing company would want big buck royalties.
If they did a Grumman Avenger, the same...

I saw that happen in IL-2 some time... american companies wanting money and **** like that.

Therefor the game producers resolve to include "similar" planes to those represented.

Thats the reason that american long range search planes look very Lancaster-esque...

Its a mission for us.

Now i know we never saw a b-17 simulation after B17 the mighty eight!
Oh well i guess i can live with it in sh-5 because i,m at 70 meters by the time they even get close to me anyway.
