The He-111 was a part in the BoB so, in short yes, we need it badly

Hmmm.

Would the secret password be MAKE THE THING ALREADY!!!!    :D  Probably not.  Thought I'd try!

What would be the differences between the 111 and the Ju88?  I havent studied the two that much. :salute

In order to use it in various scenarios and historical events (for example, FSO), may we please have [two or three of versions of] the HE-111 added to the plane set? 

Thanks very much, HiTech!   :salute

The He111 is slower and carries slightly less ordnance than the Ju88, but has a few more defensive machine guns.

Just signing the petition.

First German A/C I ever saw in person was an He-111.  Menacing and beautiful bird.

Bring the 111 to AH.

Quite a few more MGs, and some models had a 20mm cannon in the "Death tub".

Ju88 has 4 rearward firing guns that can concentrate on the same target that sits dead-aft.

He111 has 2 guns that could do the same, and there's question of how high the ventral rear gun can aim upwards to track a con perfectly "flat" and with the curve of the fuselage there's question how flat the dorsal gun could depress as well.

The Ju88a4 had a flexible nose gun which we don't for some reason. The He111 has this as well.

The only difference is the He111 has a single 7mm gun in a very small window with narrow field of fire to the left and right of the dorsal position. These were ineffective and often removed in the field. The 20mm MG/FF had limited ammo and limited range of motion (meant for hitting shipping targets as the bomber flies over, if I recall?)

So as far as defenses go, the Ju88 is faster with more ord (while being faster) and more likely to defend itself if attacked.

He111 is in no way better than the Ju88. It is cooler, though, and more important for many scenarios.

He-111 is a must! The most (reasonably) requested bomber in the game!
No one knows what the future may bring.
