What do you mean, Adler, neither did Germany? Germany built the Ju-52, He-111, Ju-87, Do-17 and Ju-88 as bombers.
 
Compare range of a He-111 with B-17 and you'll have the answer.
Germany had almost no "heavies".
As the He-111, Do-17 or Ju-88 was able to bomb British industry, as when Russians evacuated almost all their industry to Ural it was rather impossible...
 
But I said I wouldn't waste resources on a bomber. Bomber does not refer directly to heavy bombers, it refers to anything that bombs. The He-111 was a bomber, no matter the range or payload.

If I was more specific and said "I wouldn't waste resources building heavy bombers." then that would be a viable answer. And the odds are Adler probably means that but still I said bombers, He-111 (and all the others) are bombers.

And I think this is a perfect moment to go; So there. Nah, nah, nah, nah.
 
Well i was here a llooooong time ago. I got busy and jsut now got back. I still probably wont get back for awhile. But this is my list.
P-40 warhawk. Fighter
Junker 87 Dive Bomber
Texan .trainer
SM 79. Light bomber.
Heinkell 111. Bomber
Arado. Anti sub warfare plane. Coastel bomber
Junker 52. Transport
Messerschmitt 110. Fighter bomber
 
Zero Escort Fighter
Hurrican Fighter
Val Dive Bomber
Wellington Bomber
C-47 Transport
Me-110 Fighter Bomber
 
Book and Mosin:

Neither the P-40 nor the Zero were available in 1939.

The first production P-40 was flown in April 1940 and deliveries to USAAF pursuit squadrons began in June.

The first Zeros were flown in 1939, but they were then reengined with Sakae 12 engines in December. The first production Zeros didn't arrive in service units until July, 1940.
 
right, i've realised i haven't made a list yet, i've looked back and there doesn't seem to be any limit to the number of planes or what roles they have to have so it's free choice yeah?? and yeah, my airforce has a high liklihood of looking rather similar to the RAF ;)
 
But translated, RA means the same as RAF, making them more efficient and energy saving because its on less letter to abbreviate a phrase meaning identical to the RAF, making them superior 8)
