The German one used boxer 6-cylinder diesels so that'll be tricky, I guess they sort of look like the front of a Morane-Saulnier 405. The high altitude versions (the P and R variants) used turbocharged diesels based on the earlier JuMo 205 (the 207V). Ceiling was something like 6 or 7km otherwise.
Later production German Ju-86 used 800hp BMW 132 radials and were used as transports, owing to the type's declared obsolescence as a bomber.
I think it's like the Wellington. An important type early on, will really expand a BoB campaign with the new maps coming. But isn't something you'd actually count on achieving any objectives. Good target practise for Hurricane pilots and so slow they can follow them halfway home just to make sure every last one is shot down :lol:
I'm all for it. Love that authentic feel we're developing here.
Diesel???? hock:
Now THAT would be interesting
Most of the german flying boats were equipped with Jumo diesels.
