Go229B:

This is the proposed 2-seat nightfighter version of the Go229B
flying wing, which made it to final assembly before US forces
captured the Gotha factory.  Performance would have been slightly
slower than the Go229 (accounted for), but I kept the armament the
same. I also elected to retain the bomb-carrying capacity, figuring
that the Go229B would have been the ideal intruder aircraft, had it
ever actually made it to the Nachtjagdkorps.  No other aircraft
could have carried 2 x 2205-lb. bombs that fast for nocturnal
ground attack.  In SWOTN I refer to this aircraft as the
"Fledermaus" (Bat), in view of its obvious nighttime appearance.
