The He111 did not have a habit of breaking in half during normal landings. It was much, much tougher. The Fw200 had no business being employed as a warplane. The He111 was designed as a bomber (under the camoflage of being a passenger aircraft) and damage was something it was intended to take to some degree. Your pat little guesses to the contrary, there is no evidence that the Fw200, with a reputation for being fragile, was more durable than the He111 which lacks such a reputation.
Maximum Speeds:
He111H-3: 258mph
He111H-16: 270mph
Fw200C-3: 224mph
Fw200C-8: 205mph
So you think that putting a max load on the He111 will slow it down to 205mph whereas putting a maximum load on the Fw200 will not slow it down at all? That is silly. They'll both be slower when loaded and the He111 will still be faster.
From my point of view those payloads are so close as to be functionally the same and both are significantly lower than the Ju88A-4's payload.
The fact is that if a German bomber needs to be added to fill a gap neither the He111 or Fw200 will do that. For gap filling you need to look at the Do217, Ju188 or He177. For scenario purposes the He111 is far more useful than is the Fw200.
I will readilly admit that the thought of hunting Fw200s in a Mosquito fills me with warm, fuzzy thoughts, but that is hardly a fair contest, just as imbalanced as it was in reality.
