He-111 Train Buster
« on: September 17, 2009, 08:16:50 PM »


This rare photograph shows an He111 H-16 used by 14.(Eis)/KG55 the specialist train-busting unit. It has been fitted with six forward firing 20mm cannon. He111s of this unit were fitted with an electronic alitmeter that allowed them to fly at only 20 metres above the tracks. The Staffel lost nine crews but flew over 5,000 missions.



This is my vote for when we get the He-111 that we have a special ground attack version. Oh, The Possibilities!

I would say your most likely right. Now with the new ord possibility's how ever?? I give it a very very long shot at least. If this version was to appear in the game I think the hanger queen label might disappear for the HE111.

If it was indeed, "rare" as you stated, it won't be showing up in Aces High any time soon.

Can't be any worse than the Bf110 threads. since they have like 6 20mm's or like 4 20mm's and 2 30mm's.

He didn't say the plane was rare, but the photo. This makes me excited about the He-111.  And it should be the new 110, since its 1 more  :D
