tc2324 If I may, I've got some short questions for you,
1-Target?
Will it be New York? It seems that every Amerika bomber will aim for NYC, how about Halifax NS, or Portsmouth (New Hampshire) shipyard just to be different instead?
I looked up on Google Earth, the direct route from Cherbourg to New York crosses over Halifax Nova Scotia & gives a one-way distance of 2,939 nautical miles, or 5,878nm round trip.
2-Weapons?
According to Wikipedia, The He277 Amerika bomber could only carry "up to 3,000 kg (6,612 lb) of disposable stores for Amerika Bomber trans-Atlantic missions, maximum of 5,600 kg (12,345 lb) internally for shorter ranges, up to 4,300 km (2,670 mile) combat radius w/maximum bomb load"
A Fritz X has a weight of 3000lb (1,362kg) so by rights your A/B could only carry two weapons, both under-wing.
OR a trio of Hs293's as they weigh in at 2300lb (1,045kg) instead.
Why anti-shipping missiles I hear you ask & not free-fall bombs? The ASM's modified for surface attack are sort of stand-off weapons, so your A/B doesn't have to overfly its main target.
But here's another thought, why not have a pair of Fiesler Fi 103's under wing as they weigh 4,700lb (2,150kg) each (9400lb/4,300kg) & launch them near to target, or a pair of unmanned Bachem 349's (4921lb/2,232kg) under wing, radio controlled or just fired off 35-40 miles from target.
3-Unit?
KG 200?
4-what to do with the left overs?
As an Amerika Bomber needs about 4,478us gal (16,950l) fuel to give a range of 6900m (11,100km) why not make an Inflight refueller to top up on the outbound leg & a top up to get home.
If you have a back story to go with your wonderful creation, I would suggest The departure point could be on the Cherbourg peninsula, as its well away from RAF interference.
Well that's by thoughts, what say you?
