Heinkel He 111 - North Atlantic

82.8k SimplyPlain  4.9 years ago

Just a variation on a theme…

Based on my earlier “desert” He 111. Variants of the He 111 were used in anti-shipping roles, in both the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. This one’s a very dark green (no, not quite black) for night operations, and comes equipped with Fug-200 radar and a couple of torpedoes.

With thanks to @mustang51 for rightly pointing out that the original was somewhat too nimble for a WWII bomber –this version responds to controls with a bit less fervor.

Controls are much the same as in the original, except for AG6/7 (bomb release) which are now replaced by SP's standard controls for dropping the fish.

Happy sinking..!

    @SimplyPlain Why not? I personally like the flying wing design, myself. Just asking, no offense.

    @VVMC well... they're not exactly my favorite planes. So that would have to be a big "maybe" -whenever I'm out of inspiration. Thanks for the suggestion though.

    So what do you think about my build suggestion on making the Northrop N-1B and the YB-49?
