Give me reasons!!
« on: December 30, 2009, 10:14:27 AM »
I don't know much about the HE111. I went to wiki and all I saw is the picture and immediately thought of the JU 88......Whats the difference?

There are these things called books.  They can be found in places known as libraries and bookstores as well as hobby shops.  I'd suggest doing a bit of our own research :)

THe answer to your question is not really a short one.

My opinion: 

Yes, you should do research on your own.

They don't look alike at all, other than the fact that they're both twin engined bombers with mostly glazed noses.

Anyway... why the He 111?

The most obvious answer is... its history.

The He 111 saw combat from late in the Spanish Civil War (I think it came into service in around 1938?) until the very end of the Second World War. It dropped bombs, launched torpedoes, and ferried cargo in Spain, Poland, France, Britain, the Atlantic, Northern Africa, the Mediterranean, Russia... you name it. The He 111 was a workhorse German bomber and transport and bomber throughout much of the war even though it was eventually obsolete.

Also it's pretty much the definition of what a bomber should look like :D



Junkers' is OK but it doesn't come close to the Heinkel's

Want a reason ehh?
Fly hurri MkI or a spit MkI in a BoB scenario with 88s as a sub for the 111. Then you will know why. :noid
