I do not know much about the He 112, but the Hs 129 performance was as good as the Ju-87, slow.  The only action it saw, i believe, was in Africa, eastern front and Romanians Air Corp used the Hs129 against Germany in 1944.  It was the first German AC to be equip with the 75-mm Pak 40 gun (Hs-129B-3/Wa)

And would be the only German plane with the main purpose being tank buster. Max speed is only slightly less than the IL-2. The firepower is superior to the IL-2 in that the IL-2 only has MGs after it is finished with it's tank buster rounds, the Hs129 has 20mm Cannons as well. Bombload is slightly less than the IL-2 at 450kg, but the Hs129 would be a one of a kind tank-buster in the German planeset: that being if we don't get a Tank-buster Stuka.

EDIT: actually, not getting the info from Wiki and getting it from the encyclopedia, the Hs129 was FASTER than the IL-2.

The Hs 129 also saw service in North Africa, France, and the Eastern front, most notably destroying hundreds of tanks in the Battle of Kursk.

Sure, Im for anything that kills tanks with cannon. Dropping bombs on them is so boring and one sided.

Hs 129 has my vote.

[BrownBaron]

Bah. I guess they'd be nice additions, though I would really like to see either a He 177, which would be the only German heavy bomber in the game with a good defensive armament, or a Bf 109T, the only German carrier-borne aircraft.

Always loved the 129. +1
