All this talk about this plane started to make me think it's something special...so i looked it up.
Conclusion:
Waste of time. Useless to a point unless made specifically for the special events arena.
The A-26 Invader would be a more logical choice to enter the game

Well, we all want the He-111, but rarely are we gonna use it. When they previewed the P-39, and before that, we were all flippin out and actin all happy and saying it's gonna own in MA and stuff.... Then it comes a long, and 60% of the community cries "WASTE!!11!!" And as much as I want the He-111, I think thats what is gonna happen.
So if you wish for it, dont start crying when it doesn't do what you want it to do.
