BackStory
Designed by Junkers, the Ju-292 was a high speed, high capacity bomber powered by four 2100hp Daimler-Benz DB607's with a speed of 380mph at 20000ft, but was not initially adopted due to Hitler's dislike of the shape inspired by British and American bombers, but when the war turned sour Hitler turned his back on and ordered production.
This is a Z-2 model that has been converted into a night fighter.
Z-2 type took advantage of the high speed performance, was active in the interception of de Havilland Mosquito.

Also, there is no co-pilot on the Ju-292, but it is very difficult for a pilot to manage four unstable engines while doing air combat. That's why an engineer rides in and monitors the engine.

Unfortunately, the production of the airframe (mainly the production of the engine) was not able to be completed in time.So In the meantime, the factory was bombed and the existing bomber type was converted to a night fighter type.
