Heavy and Medium Bombers

[=gRiJ=Roman-]

I've been mulling over this idea. As it seems that there are some technical problems at the moment with heavy bombers, would it be possible to get a pack of bombers just AI for now and maybe in the future make them flyable?

I suspect this thread is going to get locked (because it will be seen as trolling regarding heavies).

 

But I do want to say - I would be willing to pay for more AI aircraft (Il-4, Wellington, Do-217E, Ju-188)... even if they never become flyable.

Seeing all of WWII aviation in its wonderous variety, and then shooting the living snot out of it.  What could be better?

Go search the forum -- this has been beat to death. Jason have clearly stated why there aren't heavies. Lock this thread.

But I am just wondering is heavies JUST AI is a feasible option. Nothing more, nothing less.

Would that be too much for the current software engine?

Right now, we have the B25 AI, is it possible to have more AI bombers? I think it is a medium step forward and better than no step at all. IMHO

 

If it is not feasible, just a "no, it is not possible" will suffice. Not need to get defensive, rude or even aggressive. It is just an honest technical question.

While I fully understand that sentiment I think it wouldn’t fit the business model - in mp missions you couldn’t include them without creating the paywall this sim so elegantly avoided so far. 
 

And as a customer I really don’t like the bits and pieces approach of dcs…

If I understood Jason correctly he ruled this option out as well for the time being

I have not ruled anything out. Again, STOP telling this fallacy that there is any technical reason why we cannot do medium or large bombers. We can make any plane we want.
