SAs Group Attack Bombs Bonus Fast Bomber Export Va (spain, finland 42, romania 42)
Light and fast medium bomber and recce aircraft, which was active in the first years of the war before being replaced by do217s. Naval use included channel war (kanalkampf) and crete. Also used in SCW by the condor legion
As best i can see the do17 got at least 1 steamer in the channel but was mostly overshadowed by the ju88. The Do17 relied on speed, but by 1940 fighters had improved in performance to the point that the Do17 was vunerable and under armed.
Fast bomber would be enough to round it out at 6 points, and make a wee bit less flimsy. Would that make it better as part of homogenous attack formations or mixed attacks?

I'm still undecided what would be best for this. It's fast but fragile and are we aiming it to be strong in group attacks or more as a harasser solo tip & runner? Darkness is a help to fragile aircraft and regarding the escape into darkness suggestion, I've always liked that on the black cat. Plus this being a patrol bomber would get it on those lower darkness roles.

Im going to suggest press the attack as thr only SA because. 1. It increases likihood of an attack on the earlier turns 2. Creates a unit with capability distinct from its stablemates 3. Will be cheap enough to be an acceptable 1-shot type unit
