So? ANY new bomber we get, beside maybe a B29(doubt its gonna happen any time soon) and the Tu2, will be a 'hangar queen' compared to the Lancaster or B24. So that point is irrelevent.
The He-111 in any case has a better defensive armament than the Ju-88, with 7 .30's that were sometimes replaced with MG131's and MGFF's. Plus, it was a major German bomber and played a large role in the war.
The only cannon it sported was up front which in this game is almost useless. The fully loaded 111 went like 240 mph and it was a tomato in the BOB let alone late war. And the JU-88 handled much better and dived much better.
But yes, it was a very successful transport plane. As long as no-one was in a hurry and there were no enemy fighters around to shoot you down. Geez, I'd rather see the Mits Betty and even that would be a queen. Think of the Betty as a slower B-26 with 1/2 the bombload that one well placed shot would set it on fire.
The TU-2 would be no more a queen then the KI-67 is. Even less so, and the KI-67 is the best 30 eny bomber the world has ever seen. The TU-2 is fast, had wing mounted 20mm cannon, 3 0.50s canopy,dorsal, ventral, was tough as nails, and had a bombload like that of the B-26. Best of all it was an accomplished dive bomber too.
And how does 340 mph grab you? No my friend, the TU-2 was a winner and would be here in AH too. I know I want it cause it suits my game style but I'll bet many will jump in the thing. Its got a hangar busting bomb load, its climbs well, and its fast!
