Questions regarding the He-111 bombloads

I found it strange that more options with 28 SC50 for the JU88 were intoduced. Because in Game only the second bombbay "works". And that had only 10 SC50 possible. The First bombbay , that could load 18 SC50, was normaly used for additional fuel.....

Thanks - so the H2 has largely been answered - but questions still stand on the H6!

Carrying four larger bombs externally was not possible before the introduction of the same new ETC as you can see on the new H-12. Which means prior to 4.10 the H-6 carried too much.

Was the H-12 ever used in combat? All my sources say it wasn't - that it was mainly used for training in the Baltic.

It wasn't. It was mainly a testbed for the Hs 293, but we needed to give the players an aircraft that can operate the new guided weapons.

Cool, thanks.

Thanks,

A bomber with only two external hardpoints is an interesting plane.

It is also interesting that MG's standards for research were a bit lower back in the day.

P.S. Isn't the rack on the H-12 actually a PVC instead of an ETC?
(no real idea what either means)...

You could give us a flyable Dornier...
