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

[Volron]

I do not remember the mans name, but just before the start of WW2, there was a man in the Third Reich who was pressing hard for the Luftwaffe to have heavy bombers.  However, he was killed (in a He-111 crash if I recall correctly), and the pressure for a heavy bomber died with him.  If I remember correctly, it was said that if he had not died, then the chances that Germany would have a standard heavy bomber are pretty good.


Oh and moot, I WANT THAT PLANE!   And make it a serious request!

well....didnt germany have a large heavy bomber in production to carry its then still not fully developed A-bomb?

history channel had a show on it.


said the germans were building a giant 4 engine bomber to drop A-bombs on large american industrial cities.


but the bomber of course couldnt reach america from germany. so the germans tried to build bases on ether iceland or greenland(cant remember which) to launch bomber attacks on america from. but america found out about the airfields being constructed and took them over before the germans could finish them.

it also said the only prototype of this plane was destroyed by allied bombing.

You should not take History Channel shows' word for anything, but rather take the main historical elements they mention (e.g. plane model number, event dates and locations, key people's names, etc) and then research those yourself in actual resources.

Sakai,

Personal attacks like that don't strengthen your argument, and will mostly cause any point you had to be dismissed due to emotion.

The He177A-5 would have been a useful type, if they had gotten it when they got the He177A-1.  By the time they did get it, it was too little too late.

Who's trolling who?  I asked a simple question that made perfect sense.  Let's recap young man...

No the 177....

If the post has been moved to the 264, stop trolling.

m00t says this:

About the shockingly handsome Me 264, so handsome it'll have every kid in the game nagging HTC for it; and lo, we'll get it - and all will be right in the AH luftwaffelskies.

You say this:

Ok, so now you all are bagging me about me being a kid?

This plane caught fire a lot....yes it did......1 bullet in the fuel tank will catch the A6M on fire wont it? Its a very effective plane isnt it?   This plane is very heavy, very good armament, and a decent top speed.

How the heck would you think me to assume you're still talking about 177?  

[jolly22]

Yes i realize ive already bumped two of my older posts, but these 3 planes would be a good addition to the plane set.

[Skyguns MKII]

+1 for the plane

[Raphael]

He 111 must come first 

[Ack-Ack]

First off noob the plane sucked. It's Engines failed and most crashed becuz of engine fails. The plane wasnt "Mass used". Only about 300 saw service and half didnt even fly a whole sortie before the engines gave.

Major waste of time jolly.

Engine failures aren't modeled in AH so any issues in real life due to the engines won't be inherent in game.

ack-ack

[Ack-Ack]

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

The Condor would be worthless in AH.

ack-ack

     Well, we could use a Condor to move our head pocket Fuhrer from base to base while he lambasts us for
not winning the war

Rino-with all due respect,Sir I submit that 'the leader' should fly in the -177 where he would eventually
roast (per his 'final soloution'). However,it would take the -200 to lift Goerings' fat pompous rear-end.

jolly22-you never saw all this coming,huh?
