Time to be that annoying nerd again

There seems to be a mixup with Liberator naming, we have "B-24 Liberator" (originally Ubisoft's US Heavy Bomber) which appears to actually be hybrid of Liberator and PB4Y-2 Privateer, and "PB4Y-1 Privateer" which looks like PB4Y-1 Liberator instead:



Privateer probably shouldn't even be in game, as these planes were introduced into service too late for Battle of Atlantic, according to Wikipedia several Atlantic squadrons were issued the type in summer 1945. So, to be even more historically correct, I'd suggest renaming "Privateer" to "PB4Y-1 Liberator". This would leave two "Liberators" in game, one of which doesn't look like anything that ever flew, but Ubisoft's monstrosity can be easily remodeled to look a bit more correct:



...and then perhaps, with some retexturing, used for different B-24 variant than PB4Y-1, like Coastal Command or USAAF ones.
