Why ...the HE-111

[jollyFE]

Why is it, whenever we get a new or updated  acft, people start asking for the He-111.  That thing will be totally outclassed in the LW arenas.  Mabye it's its phallic shape that entices so many to ask for it.  Thats all I can think of.  There's plenty of other german/Russian/Japanes/Italian planes the deserve to be put in before that thing.  EW/MW arenas mabye..but I'd rather have the 88.

So, here's my back...let the daggers start flyin.

Battle of Britain

sums it up right there

[macleod01]

The 111 maybe totally outclassed in the MW and LW arena's, but it is THE german Iconic bomber. Infact, I would venture to say that even the word Luftwaffe conjures up the 111. Maybe the 109, but  I would say the 111 first. Battle of Britain scenarios can not be done properly without it, as at the moment the 88 is simply too fast. Hurris and Spits get 1 pass and thats it. The 111 was also used throughout the ENTIRE war, even if it was as a transport in 1945, but surely that gives another reason to be added. It can also carry troops and supplies! A true combination plane.
That concludes the summing up for the proposition, points of information welcome

Because its the he-111. Period

HE-111 was a major bomber besides the JU-88.

I think we should remove the FM2/F4F, the P40s, Ju88, early model 109's and Spitfires, Boston III, P47D11/25, and whatnot. Cuz, yaknow, they're outclassed in the LW arenas.
People won't fly new a/c no matter what is added. They'll keep along with their B24's, B17's, Lancasters, La7's, P51D's, Spit 8/16's, and N1K2J's.

Why?
I love flying the early stuff in LW, you reap good perkies in that kinda iron

sooo.. take out half the planes and put what in then?
i dont understand y u think that.. Ju88 is a good plane.. earlt spitfires are under raited and the P47 are great planes, i fly in them all the time, and always have fun, and lots of time, have great fights with N1k2, P51 and others.. its not the plane really.. its how you fly it, and a lot of people can fly those early models u mentioned really well..

[Banshee7]

sarcasm anyone?

My sarcasm detector just gave up the ghost on that one.

SO Jolly gets it. If you have ever flown this scenario as allied you would understand better.  Jump in a hurri/spit MkI and have a squad member jump in a Ju88 and try and catch him.

moin

the He 111 version as v-1 rocket louncher would be great. so you can fire at targets at save distance. this wold be real cool and this he 111 version would have his place in the LW arena.

Some are thinking about game play in the MA only.

Some of us are thinking of Scenarios and special events where aircraft of similar time period are matched.

He-111 is definately needed to fill a planeset during specific years of WWII.
