I have alot of my bases at level 3 and I would like to put some 2e bombers in them.

Japan has no 4EB in stock WITP.

In stock: Allies have B-17, B-29, and B-24 Liberators (and variants - all have name "Liberators" in the name, such as LB-30 Liberator, PB4Y Liberator).

There are possibly a few British 4EB that appear late in the game (Lancasters), but i am not sure they appear in stock or not.

It might be beneficial to run to the library or your local bookstore and get a book that covers WWII aircraft. Doesn't need to be any thing indepth, just something that will give you the basics.

Google is actually quite good too. If you're not sure about the AC just Google it.

As to putting the number of engines on the plane screen, there is enough info there already. A grognard should know these things.

IIRC some mods also include RAF Lincoln bombers.

Status: offline 		 So does any version have Boeing Washingtons ? The concept of the British using B-29's against Japan appeals to me. (Obviously they wouldn't get then till late 45 or early46). But if you are going to use them , then maybe B-36's might not be out of line. And Does any vesion have B-32 Dominators?

I doubt it, but someone was working on a version with F14s and A6s, IIRC. Scenario specific.

I take it that was the "Final countdown scenario?".
