The P.108 was actually an impressive heavy bomber with good range, heavy load and decent speed.

One was also was armed with one the largest weapon carried by a warplane, a 102mm cannon (though only one example and never used in combat).

It seems to me that the Germans could have adopted it instead of fooling around with all their various four-engined designs.
