It is something to ponder. It most likely flew more sorties than the Ta 152 even if It had a production run of 25 or so planes. Have a blast.

I’m curious as to why the Germans never put that puppy into production it seems like a nasty piece of work. 417mph and 3 20mms in 1938.

The He 100 featured an evaporative cooling system with a retractable radiator for low speed and ground running. While this gave very low drag it did not work very well and the prototypes suffered badly from overheating and cooling system failures. Also this type of cooling system would have been very vulnerable to battle damage, far more so than a conventional radiator.
Apart from the cooling issues the He 100 also had weak landing gear.

Truth.
In short, the entire wing surface is a radiator. one ping to a wing, goodbye engine.

That plane was a propaganda tool at best. We have more pressing needs than a plane that probably never even sniffed an enemy aircraft.

Even though we probably won't get this prototype I'm glad ROD asked for it. Neat plane, I didn't know about it until his post.
It had quite a cooling system, with 24 water pumps!
I had a blast reading about it.

I'd rather have an F8F. Both saw the same amount of combat. At least the F8F was being deployed to a combat area before the war ended.

If we had a Spanish Civil War server or maybe an Olympic Games of 1936 server, I'd say add it.

That's the He 112.

That's the He 112.
Twice in one week.

The He 112 and He 100 were different planes.

How did you get a copy of Schlowy's Big Book of War?

The He 100D was used defending The Heinkel factories and flew far more missions than the Ar234 or Me163. Also the D model had the evaporative cooling system replaced by a radiator type cooling system. 2 reasons I know of that the He100D was not put into full production was cost of the aircraft and complexity of the wing construction Although the spitfire had a very complicated wing and took much longer to build than the Hawker Hurricane's , but thankfully It didn't stop the War Ministry from Giving the Ok to build It.. and Willi Messerschmitt was better connected with the Nazi party. with the exception of Erhard Milch. They hated each other. It matters not what I enter on forums. vracui will bash it just like the insults and abuse he deals out to Me during game play. I've grown numb to It. Have a blast
There's a big difference between combat missions and test flights.

Rod, there were fewer production model He-100's than there were Ta-152H's. Want to know why? Because there were NO production models of the He-100. Forget the fact that it was used as a propaganda prop to try and drum up foreign sales or spook the allies, but just the planes themselves were preproduction and all of them were hand-tooled prototypes. None were from a production line spec sheet. Several were sold to the USSR. Several were sold to Japan. Several were built just to test them to destruction and never flew at all. Several were run as the stripped-down racer variant, though many of these were lost due to bugs in the system and a highly temperamental engine cooling system.
Of special note: The reason it was never put into production was the evaporative cooling system. Even with the auxiliary cooling radiators added in the last versions, it still primarily relied on the evaporative cooling.
Also of note: The "factory defense" was probably as much of a propaganda stunt as the He-113 photos and none ever saw any combat. Ever.

It was indeed propaganda. The He-100D never fired a shot. It was never even within EARSHOT of a shot. At least the F8F was being deployed to a combat zone when the war ended, unlike the He-100D which was nowhere near any action.
-
It's worse than you think. There never was a He-100D. That's a designation applied to it after the war. They were all V-models or AO models. You don't even see He-100D on actual documents.
Kind of like how western designations for Japanese planes get placed after-the-fact.

Ah, okay. I thought the D was what they called the He-113 or whatever for the fake photos...
There is so much deception surrounding that airplane I'm not sure what is true other than it was never used in combat.

they havent added any planes to this game since jan 2014....
