Available Luftwaffe bomber careers in Normandy

[Alexmarine]

Just a little question for @LukeFF, we know that the Normandy career will feature the KG51 night intrusion over England with their Me 410 (and maybe SKG 10 raids with their Focke Wulf), any chance to see any bomber units still equipped with the Ju-88 flying mission on the map before D-Day?

Yes, at the moment it is planned to have II./KG 6 (June to July) and I./KG 54 (mid- to late-May) as playable units.

Too bad that we don't have torpedos for the Ju-88. KG 26 still had some Ju-88 A-4 LT during battle of Normandy and flew several anti-shipping missions. KG 26 was based in southern France but used different forward airfields when flying missions in the invasion area.

It's nice to know we will have some Luftwaffe bombers careers available. Personally I would have liked to see the Dornier 217E/K/M (or an He-177) to add some variety but guess it will not be the case any time soon. Will settle on waiting for a flyable B-26...

As a side note - my grandfather was one of the replacement pilots send to KG 6 after the battle of Normandy. Early he had flown mulitengined aircraft as recon and ferry pilot. He did not see any combat as bomber pilots because KG 6 was converted into a fighter unit in late 1944.

Torpedoes ... one of the big missing elements on this sim.

They should have been added back in the Kuban expansion.

I just don't get it! For me it should priority number one!

Torpedos already exist as mod, so I guess they would be easy to add. What would be required for German torpedobombers is the Torpedokommandogerät (ToKG), but I guess this could be created by modifying the bombsight.
