Here is the Daumann Da-12 heavy bomber.
Originally designed for the Imperial Russian Air Service in 1930, the Rheinland Luftstreitkräfte took notice after it's stunning performance over contemporary American bombers and fact that the R-planes the Rheinland Luftstreitkräfte processed where over 10 out of date and where extremely vulnerable to modern fighters. An order for 500 aircraft was placed in 1931 which was followed by another 500 the following year.
It first saw combat in the Iberian Civil War of 1932-1934 in which the aircraft carpet bombed American backed Republican forces while take little losses itself as they where heavily armed with 12 7.92 machine guns that easily tore up American built fighters.
By the outbreak of the second Rheinland-Amerika on the first of January 1942 the Rheinland Luftstreitkräfte had over 2000 of these large but outdated bombers but they had a large role in the Battle of Los Angeles in which they drop paratroopers behind the American lies while other bombers bombed them. they where retied in 1947 after the end of hostility's but they continued life as transport aircraft as they could cover a lot of ground and where extremely durable and very easy to maintain.
Here it is in basic camouflage.

I have been working on a replacement, or rather a supplement to the M103; the M106. The tank uses an enlongated M103 chassis with some more streamlining and sloped armor akin to the IS-6. It has the same gun as the M103, but has a muzzle dampener more akin to the M26.
Basic M106
M106A2
M106A4:

That's an excellent idea Karle94. It looks a match for the Soviet T-10 etc. and its easy to imagine these in West Germany during the 1960s.

Compared to your other efforts you've managed to avoid making this out of complete and total fail, but you're going to need to tack on an extra set of engines, I'd deem. This thing is ridiculously long and has lots and lots of wing surface area to produce a lot of drag (natural and unavoidable byproduct of lift) and I doubt that, what, four 800-HP engines are going to keep it aloft above 100MPH.
EDIT: Eh, or maybe not. I'll have to look into it in greater detail.

It's based on the TB-3 and other Soviet 30's aircraft.

IIRC, I have seen no bombers which could fly from europe to america without it being a suicide mission until after WW2..... but you seem to suggest this happened with this aircraft. could you explain? EDIT: as in, If the range for the TB-3 on wikipedia is correct, these aircraft could barely reach iceland from britain, how the hell are you going to los angeles? do you have taken over mexico or something?
