God, it's hideous. I mean the early models without the chin turret weren't much to look at, but this takes the cake.
Can it commie!  :old:

... He-111 just because it's the best looking bomber in the game.




And some poetry from Pembquist:

Starting with the Spanish Civil War, in my opinion nothing says nazi bomber like an he 111. It represents cutting edge technology of the thirties, the remilitarization of Germany, aspirations of conquest and domination, and brutal narcissistic pageantry that held the rest of the world in lethal contempt. In the end it became as outmoded as the ideas and leadership of the nation that built it. And while as aesthetically complete a distillation of violence as beauty as the Hugo Boss uniforms of the German millitary, it also shared the unfortunate feature of being a very dangerous thing to be in by 1944.

It is a G-10, from a Flight Journal article and photo shoot... I have the issue it appeared in.

It was a Bf109K-4.  If it had been a Bf109G-10 it would have been slower.

I can still want it though. There are times that I wish HTC was a bit less realistic.
