In Arcade, try to maximize altitude upon spawning; this will make it harder for most fighters to reach you in the early moments (only for ground strike). However, this leaves your poorly defended underbelly open to most attacks, so a fighter with a decent engine could easily catch up and take you down. When engaging this bomber, don't worry about the gunners, as they have a very restricted field of, allowing an attack from these angles: 10-2 o'clock high or even 8 o'clock high/5 o'clock high, as well as 9-3 o'clock low or 10 o'clock low/2 o'clock low, as the gunners, cannot reach you there.

Usage in battles

In Arcade, try to maximize altitude upon spawning; this will make it harder for most fighters to reach you in the early moments (only for ground strike). However, this leaves your poorly defended underbelly open to most attacks, so a fighter with a decent engine could easily catch up and take you down. When engaging this bomber, don't worry about the gunners, as they have a very restricted field of, allowing an attack from these angles: 10-2 o'clock high or even 8 o'clock high/5 o'clock high, as well as 9-3 o'clock low or 10 o'clock low/2 o'clock low, as the gunners, cannot reach you there.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Decent bomb load (can carry up to 32 x 50 kg bombs stock) and up to 2,250 kg total
  • Can cope with high altitudes better than British starter bombers
  • Engine fires do minimal collateral damage by not spreading, but the engine will die
  • Very good defensive guns (a significant improvement over predecessors)
  • Good roll rate by bomber standards
  • Armour and structural design allow very good resistance to 7.7 mm and somewhat to 12.7 mm bullets
  • Extremely sturdy airframe, enemy pilots may run out of ammo while trying to take the He 111 down often
  • Out classes similar Wellington bombers in nearly every respect
  • Pilot seat is set farther back than normal, reducing but not eliminating the chance of a knocked-out pilot
  • 20 mm nose gun can be a nasty surprise to head-on attackers, allows for bomber hunting, and can take out ground anti-aircraft artillery and vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft artillery
  • Stock payload is highly efficient at carpet bombing tanks, armoured cars, anti-aircraft artillery, etc

Cons:

  • Gunner placements restrict effective defence to the horizontal plane only, with gaps at 2 and 10 o'clock
  • As with most bombers (and German planes), poor turning radius which doesn't aid the gunners at all when attacked
  • Top gunner is limited in effectiveness due to the vertical stabilizer location
  • Bottom gunner can't shoot directly behind the plane, more like at a 20-30 degree angle downwards.
  • Stock payload is extremely less effective against bases
  • Very vulnerable when being attacked by multiple fighters, due to lack of defensive weapons
  • Although resistant to 12.7 mm guns, they will destroy you if you don't quickly deal with the threat
  • Tail controls easily damaged.

History

In-game description

The Heinkel He 111 was a German monoplane medium bomber (also torpedo bomber and attack bomber). The He 111 H-16 was the third standard H-series variant, the other two being H-3 and H-6. Most other variants were generally used in very specialized roles. Specifically, the H-16 was a further development of the H-6 with Jumo 211 F-2 engines, although several other interim variants also introduced minor changes based on combat experience. Defensive armament remained the same as on the H-11.

Many different loadouts were supported; the bomb bay was retained and could also be used for extra fuel tanks. In the latter case, the under-fuselage ETC 2000 bomb rack was used. The H-16 was supplied with several armament kits, including the R-1 with a 13mm MG 131 in a dorsal turret, the R-2, a glider tug and the R-3, with improved armour at the cost of a lighter bomb carrying capacity.
