German Strategic Bomber Pilots....Really?

Gotta say, this one made me smile.... :D

Strat Bomber :?: :?: :shock:

Seriously?

What German aircraft is even categorized as a "Strat Bomber"? (no, not even the HE177 apparently)

What mystical plane did these Luftwaffe pilots earn their "Strat Bomber" ratings from?
Never-the-less, German has 98 Strat Bomber pilots.
27 of 98 are "Ready". :lol:

This is from the end of T2 (after air phase).

It appears all of the 2-engine "Tac Bomber" pilots are being categorized as "Strat Bomber" pilots :?:

Leaving only the Ju-87s with "Tac Bomber" pilots.

But, you cannot even select or filter on "Strat Bomber" aircraft types from:

Commander's Report -> Equipment -> Aircraft

What I think is happening is that "Level Bomber" pilots are being mislabeled as "Strat Bomber" pilots, creating this confusion.

The following is suggested:
