What if He 177 had seen a development arc similar to Avro Manchester to Lancaster

or USSR ... they would at least be reliable as opposed to HE-177 ... over 250 Mistels were constructed, they were very awkward also and overloaded the tires ... the max. bombload for Zwilling was 15,000 lbs. (but that cut the range to est. 680 mi.)
They could also carry 4 ASM like FRITZ X or HS-293.
