Focke Wulf | eBay
The Focke-Wulf Fw 57 was a twin-engined aircraft designed to perform a fighter-bomber role. The Bf 110 and Hs 124 were also submitted to this specification, which requested an aircraft capable of bomber interception, bomber escort, and strike bombing, with turreted defensive armament. The Fw 57 fulfilled this requirement with two forward-firing 20mm cannons, a third 20mm cannon in an electrically-powered dorsal turret, and the ability to carry six 100kg bombs. The nose 20mm cannons were not fixed and had a limited field of fire, controlled by the bombardier/navigator. Of the three submitted designs, the Fw 57 was the largest and heaviest aircraft, proving to be underpowered. Further testing revealed problems with the initial specification, and it was changed to fit the role of escort fighter and interceptor, removing the requirements for bombing and turreted defenses, with the Bf 110 ultimately winning the modified contract. The Fw 57 program was cancelled in 1936.
I think the Fw 57 would be a fun tier 1 aircraft for the German tree!
