Aircraft/Loadouts Heinkel He 100 D-1

I want it.

I WANT THIS PLANE.

Never used by the Luftwaffe, but Heinkel used it to protect its factory.

The plane was successful, but the engine was hard to produce, so Luftwaffe wasn't interested

So who was piloting?

[Jorma_Sarvanto 3,917]

So who was piloting?

Heinkels own test pilots, I guess

 

EDIT:

Wikipedia:

 

"The remaining 12 He 100 D-1 fighters were used to form Heinkel's Marienehe factory defense unit, flown by factory test pilots"

[SteeeveMaddennn 1,656]

Heinkel himself!

 

Seriously now, I want that plane!

[Freedom_Loaded 121]

They used it for propaganda purposes under the guise of He 113. The 'prototypes' were functional and quite operational. Both Japan and CCCP were interested in the designs, (CCP more os with parts) japan ordered the planes but somewhere along the lines never received documents for unknown reasons.

This plane is one of the fastest prop planes in the world when it was made. I WANT IT. :)

so it will reach 550 level flight full WEP ingame?

In 1938 no plane built for war flew faster than 400 mph.

[Wenin 2,654]

550 km/h I guess.

[Drogoran 885]

yeah km/h

 

caus i cant imagine it reaching much faster than that level flight full wep since the p-51 can bearly reach 600

[Freedom_Loaded 121]

Why? Racing sea-planes hit over 400 mph in the 1930's it isn't that unfeasible.

[Einsamerwolf 50]

what about Me309?

for Premium Plane :)

[Freedom_Loaded 121]

That was a true prototype I doubt that it would be a possibility. Where as the He 100 D-1 formed a squadron of fully functional planes.

[sturmer86 2]

where is the fw200 condor?

now that is a plane that the german tech tree could really use.

and it was used as a cargo/bomberplane

[Freedom_Loaded 121]

It's already planned and in the tree.

[sturmer86 2]

It's already planned and in the tree.

ah really? didnt see it

[Freedom_Loaded 121]

Indeed it is, on the main website you can see it on the planned flighttree. ;)

Racing planes weren't weighted down with guns and armor.

[Freedom_Loaded 121]

No, they had massive pontoons instead which are worse than said armor and armaments.

want very much now too.

[DogFoodLid 1,362]

I think this would fit very well in the lower tiers.  The 1x MG FF/2x MG 17 version could be a nice bridge between the He 112's and the first Bf 109's, since that's a very 109-esque arms load.

[Ded_Lubit_Kakish 3,171]

nice bridge between the He 112's and the first Bf 109's

No. This craft should be no lower than a tier 13 Bf109G-6. Anything lower would be a serious disservice to its high performance.

[BrooklynTheFurry 40]

I can see that, as the point of having the tech trees is that the actually planes balance themselves out, not reason to lower planes performance to make it lower level.

Hang on, is that sentence implying [1 x 20mm MG FF cannon and 2 x 7.92mm MG 17 machine guns] and [1 x 20mm MG FF cannon and 2 x 20mm MG 151 cannons] or are they merely saying [1 x 20mm MG 151 cannons and 2 x 7.92mm MG 17 machine guns]?
