Ok... a MAJOR difference between the Ju-88 and the He-111... that I have brought up before - GUN INTERFACE.
Dogfighting, so leave the 'formation' stuff at home, this is for when you are a single bomber, or the other two are dead.
So, upping a single Ju-88, WITH NO BOMBS... 50% fuel is just a bit too heavy, but with only 25% fuel, it's duration is just a bit too low. If you choose 50% fuel, then you need to burn some off by doing a climb out to get some alt that ya should have anyways. (another good reason for fuelburn 1x!)
Anyways, Cases:
1) All 3 Ju-88's dead in one pass: I've seen game footage of a fighter killing all three of a Ju-88 formation IN ONE HIGH SPEED PASS (came in level with the bombers from out past the rear right side bomber - boom boom boom in one pass! :/
2) Other hand... I have also personally shot down many fighters with a Ju-88, when they come in from dead six, in the (small) cone, where all three rearward guns can hit the fighter at the same time, firing 'N' key to fire all weapons. I think the fighters are greedy, thinking it's an easy kill, and want to kill it before anyone else shows up and 'steals' the kills.
3) Dogfighting!, with 25 to 50% fuel, no bombs, it can actually DOGFIGHT with enemy FIGHTERS. One time, a good lengthy fight and I smoked an F4u, at least once. No it wasn't one of the 'all star' f4u dweebs but it was still a win for the Ju-88.
See... the Ju-88's forward gun, SMALL as it may be - 7.9mm, it still carries a LOT of AMO, 750 rounds to spray away.
THIS AMO CAN BE FIRED FROM THE PILOTS SEAT BY PULLING THE TRIGGER BUTTON IN JU-88, BUT NOT IN HE-111!
The He-111, IT SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIRE BOTH IT'S FRONT TWO 20MM's! WHY NOT???
KILLJOY MODELERS BOOO !!! Were talking same fire power as an 190A5 or A8 without outer guns, or same as a 190d9!!!
The 111 PILOTS would have big grins on if they could fire FROM THE PILOTS SEAT!!!
AND IF YOU DO GO TO THE FRONT GUNNER'S SEAT, THE ARCH IS SO TERRIBLE THAT WE CAN'T AIM IT!!! ESPECIALLY THE WAY THE DAMM PLANE AUTO LEVELS WHEN WE GOTO A GUN!!!! WTH!!!!
AND 99.9999% of the time, NOBODY BUT NOBODY has TWO players in ONE plane, even when its BOMBERS, almost would say ESPECIALLY NOT when it's bombers.
How I feel about the gun interface for the He-111???... it HAS NO DEFENSES IF AT PILOT CONTROLS SOOO NO FUN DOGFIGHTS!

Ju-88 plane - I'm sure there was a load out that had some AMO pointed forward, as in FIXED, had to be, with more than 1 single 7.9mm.
Bunch of 'kill joy modelers'... you guys dropped the ball on this stuff!
SHOULD BE A BUTTON TO FIRE ALL WEAPONS WHICHEVER WAY THEY ARE FACING! PLEASE! How to dogfight in a bomber?
Easy, just have to go easy with the G's, can still turn tight, stall fight, etc etc, just can't pull the same G's... same way to dodge enemy fighters in C47's for example...
For Ju-88's and He-111's... you have two of everything, just don't get hit in the pilot! And really, I think the glass was more bullet proof than the movies portray btw.
sowwy for I sometimes get upset!
