HE 177

[Shark guy 35]

German heavy bomber. Could be useful as the JU88 is insufficient as a strategic bomber, in my opinion. Also I can't get the Wikipedia link in here.

Link is here!

Thanks!

Imo I like Fw 200 Condor better.

[Shark guy 35]

Yes, I kinda thought they were the same thing but they are slightly different. Both are really cool planes. I think Germany has interesting bombers.

[NurKaiser]

Uas for me ju-287 is much better!

also here a plane which would be nice if it finds its way into the game. the he 177 should be better than the fw200

[Shark guy 35]

I agree, the condor was more of a transport plane.

[Jasondunkel]

I agree, the condor was more of a transport plane.

also much too slow. for hunting on ships where there was no escort of interceptors good, as far as i know the fw 200 was also used like this, but not for long

[Shark guy 35]

It could carry a decent payload, but was rather slow.

I would be so glad if we have it in game.

Would you like to try to draw the image?

[Gruppenführer Erwin]

Sure.If I can find a reference image.

Try looking here

[Gruppenführer Erwin]

Idk if its great.At least I tried.

[Shark guy 35]

Good for a first draft. The yellow parts should be pink for team color and the wings are a bit strange. It also seems kinda big.

[Gruppenführer Erwin]

Better now?Or should I make wings more small?

[Shark guy 35]

Better now?Or should I make wings more small?

Yes, make the wings smaller, it looks like an AC-130.

[Gruppenführer Erwin]

Better now?

[Shark guy 35]

Sorry if it's bothersome but the length of the bottom wing seems a little strange.

[Gruppenführer Erwin]

Is it too long?

[Shark guy 35]

Is it too long?

Yeah, it might look huge on the map, especially when compared to other bombers.

[Gruppenführer Erwin]

I can do this all day , no problem.I have nothing to do except this.So its kinda funny for me.

[Shark guy 35]

It looks good. Stats will probably be similar to JU88 but with more damage and 7 turns to build.

[Gruppenführer Erwin]

Great!

[Gruppenführer Erwin]

It must have few damage against planes because it had 6 machine guns.Probably must be more expensive if its better against planes.

I suggested the same thing. Any ideas for stats?

[HauptmannHorst]

I thought it cold have a "Fritz x button" next to the common bombing button with a cooldown.
Fritz X for extreme damage against ships as it was used for?

[Shark guy 35]

I think that's a good idea, but it would need industry level 2 and a special tech.
