Missed opportunity in The New Order

An unfortunate trope in alternate WWII history: lack of Allied super weapons beyond the atomic bomb. I remember in the leadup to the game they promised Allied vehicles, but we see nothing beyond the Condors. Even though there's plenty of real life examples!

Instead of P-51s, we could've had Lockheed L-133 fighters!

Also, something that would've been hilarious and amazing? The nazis stealing Northrop's flying wing. Can't you imagine BJ boarding a plane covered in nazi insignia, then he gets into the inner workings, and finds the Northrop insignia hidden under something? "Stole our goddamn planes, didn't they?"

[YB-49](

Why should the Nazis steal planes? There was never a need for that!

The germans, and to be exact, the Horton Brothers build just as Northrop in the 1940 flying wing aircrafts ... so it wouldn't make sense for the Nazis to steal Northrops plains. The technology was allready in the hands of the nazis.

The intro of New Order has you destroying ships similar to YB-49. No missed opportunities here.

Plus don't forget Nazi supremacy came from Deathheads' experiments. Why would he still inferior vessels? Makes no sense.

Those are Horton 229s, not the YB-49. Also Deathshead stole all his tech, why not Northrop?
