A NEW GERMAN bomber!!! (heavy)! TAKE A LOOK

[Volron]

if this was a quadruple post accidentally then why such long wait times between posts?

I would switch to a different thread right quick, read it then came back to this one and try to re-post.  As you saw, didn't go well.  bah    As I said in my previous post, I got pissed and left the forum alone for the night.  So it's too late for me to edit them out.

That must had be an early model what was tested by the british. The germans solved the engine overheating problems til '42, and after that, the crew liked this aircraft.

That may well be true in the same book it states that one mission to bomb London 14 taxied out 13 took off 8 returned shortly thereafter with either engine fires or overheating. 3 made it to target and 1 returned. That's one epic mission fail!

Gentlemen-Enjoyed the T/A slide show in this thread  ,
but the fact remains that Ger never produced a quality
heavy bomber. (what the heck were these people thinking about?)

[Motherland]

it looks like what the ar234 would be if it had its wings extended, and prop engines.

i like it, but would rather have the fw200 condor first tho.

The Fw 200 wasn't a bomber, it was a heavy transport and maritime patrol aircraft.
It was also slow and had structural problems as previously stated.

transport as in troops?..

if so then screew the condor being added as a bomber, i want it as the next goon plane!

As in equipment. I'm pretty sure it was never equipped to drop paratroops.

hm, carried bombs. could be good for air-dropping gv supplies and still being able to stick around to provide little support.

I am not aware that any Fw 200's air dropped, just because it is a transport doesnt mean it can drop supps or troops

Fw200 was so weak structurally at least some were lost due to breaking their back on landing.  I laugh every time I see somebody ask for it as a German heavy bomber.

In fairness to the Fw200, it was designed as an passenger aircraft, a real passenger aircraft, not a bomber in disguise like the He111.

but AH wouldnt model those types of problems, would it?

and it does have recorded war history.

It's been custom for HTC not to include mechanical shortcomings, like engine problems or gun jams. Structual weakness like wing failure under G's or fuselage problems as in the Fw200 case don't have that warranty.

HE 177?

Hey Coola4me can you please increase the size of your avatar, its hard to read.

This is one of the funniest posts I've seen in a long time. It started out with so much potential and then went into a Stuka dive with the Japs bombing shipping in the Baltic Sea. I am confused though, was that english shipping or Chinese junks?

yes AH would model known structural weaknesses ie 109's landing difficulty or the N1K2's weak langing gear, B24's flamability, all in game

In AH the structural weakness would likely me seen mostly when it got shot, i.e. it would be a very fragile aircraft and come apart rapidly and without being hit very hard.  The Ju88 is much more survivable than the Fw200 would be, and it carries a heavier bomb load to boot.
