If the Luftwaffe need something in AH it would be He 11 or Ju 52.

I am a Luftwhuiner and if I saw another 109, 190, or some BS like the He 280 before I saw a Ju 52 or He 111 Id be pissed. These idots who do not research and think out clearly what they are asking for is the reason HTC doesn't even bother reading the Wishlist. If you make a post in his wishlist, especially start a thread, please use intelligence.

Enjoy the freakin Mosquito Mk XVI.

He111H
Hs129

Ju87G-1
Ju52
Ju188A

copy-pasted from an earlier side-by-side comparison of the He 111 and He 177 I made a while back...

Heinkel 177:

(Image removed from quote.)

Crew: 5
Range: ~3400
Wingspan: 103ft.
Range:
Bombload: ~13k to ~15K lbs.
Defensive armament:
1 × 7.92 mm MG 81 machine gun in nose position
1 × 20 mm MG 151 cannon in forward ventral position
2 × 7.92 mm MG 81 machine guns in rear ventral position
2 × 13 mm MG 131 machine guns in FDL 131Z remotely-operated forward dorsal turret, full 360º field of rotation
1 × 13 mm MG 131 machine gun in manned aft dorsal position
1 × 20 mm MG 151 cannon in tail position

And she's got the ugliest profile you ever saw  :aok

Not sure how the remote gun would work. Perhaps like the 5" guns currently do, a shot of the gun and a red +?

The dorsal gun, note the glass dome from which the gunner would control the weapon:

Ventral cabin of the bomber, where the controls of the remote guns are located (2):

Made my post nice 'n' picture rich for those of you with short attention spans. :)

I am all for adding the Me410. It may not neccesarily bring anything new to the table that the 110 doesnt, but I like twin engine fighters. The more, the merrier.

Pirate: The He280 was a test platform that never existed outside of a handful of prototypes... The project was plagued with programs. While it was technically the first jet to be flown, it was replaced in production by the much more reliable (reliable to produce) Me262, which was better in several key departments including speed and firepower and overal airframe/engine coupling.

Plazus: You forgot the third.

3) Production models (no prototypes).
