I think some of the trimoters are very nice. At first I did not like them that much, but they have grown on me a bit. The Do.24 is a good one and it had a very good war record.

I don't like it for a bomber as the best position for a bombardier and bombsight is being occupied by an engine.

That is true. But it did ok even with that limitation. But more as an anti-shipping role.
