The 2 engine version of this battle horse of the Italian Air Force from Spain to ww2 was not used by Regia Aeronautica since it was slower than the 3 engine version, but it was purchased by other axis countries like Romania that used extensively it on the Russian front, (in Stalingrado the twin motors S79 was part of the desperate attempts of the Romanian aviators to resupply the army and to bomb the soviet positions), someone was sold or gifted to Iraq during the conspiration, others maybe was purchased by other countries I don't remember, just a few ofc, like for the S81 in China.
Usually for the early Romanian bombers DGEN campaigns I replace the he111 normally and the stukas too sometime with the Bristol Blenheim and the trimotor because it seems to me more historically accurate, but that's a mine personal impression probably I m wrong and the he111 was present during barbarossa in 1941,probably they was present each one, so I was thinking since usually for the Romanian Russian front campaigns we use the trimotor classic S79 version, it would be nice to have a twin motor version for Romania, here I attach some Pic and sides

THANK YOU IF YOU READ MY THREAD, AND SORRY 3D MODELERS IF MY REQUESTS ARE STRANGE SOMETIME 😂
That request come since I'm planning a serie of single missions on the eastern front and in Mediterranean and east Africa, several of them are yet ready and must be tested, (the Italian ones, an east Africa summer of 1940 campaign on the gulf of Aden with the Gibuti map, on caproni 133, sm81, sm79 and imam ro 37, mainly medium range reconnaissance and ship hunting, and also a rescue mission, while the Mediterranean one is in Rhodes recreating the Regia aeronautica strategic early war raids against British Palestine (Haifa, tel Aviv, and other locations they even attacked the Bahrein oil refineries with a very long range raid with sm82 marsupiale, landing in Eritrea later without return to Rhodes, lieutenant colonel Muti and his gang, but this mission is not possible in Il2 since we haven't a Bahrein map, but using the Dodecanese and middle east map I recreated the raids in British Palestine, Lebanon, strategic reconnaissance over Egypt, and I m planning ever to recreate the Gibraltar bombings with Piaggio p108 and others, in the Rhodes campaign in autumn 1940, these raids was stopped in middle 1941 since Italy had to concentrate her resources elsewhere, are played over SM82, SM79, CANTZ1007, AND NIGHT RAIDS WITH THE OLD SM81, WHILE THE RESCUE MISSIONS IN DODECANESE ARE PERFORMED ON CANTZ501 AND 506 SEAPLANES, also called MAMMA AIUTO by the downed pilots and the sailors, help mom, where help is a name like to say the mom who save you at sea, 7 missions of that last campaign are yet ready and it would be nice to use the S79 bimotore like liason plane between the islands, there is some transport mission too, there is also one mission with the FIAT G12, a couple, one single in north Africa and another in Dodecanese campaign, over some bonus mission against Greece bombing salonika and other cities on CANTZ1007, flying against gladiators and Greek British fighters, same for the Romanian campaign (its a surprise the theater, something we never see in Il2 with the Romanian air force ❤️🌹) and use aside with the blenheim, stuka, and other planes the bimotor version of the S79 SPARVIERO one day.
Thanks again!
