<<MOBILE FRIENDLY>>> <<FAKE HISTORY>> The Heinkel aircraft firm developed this plane to meet the new bomber request posed by the Luftwaffe. The plane carried 12 bombs and was able to reach speeds considered relatively high for the time (thanks to it's push-pull engine format). The plane was also relatively lightly defended with two 8mm-mauser-firing machine guns. The plane's birdlike silhouette became recognizable by the allies after the war started and inspired fear in those unlucky enough to be its target. The plane was phased out by 1943 but other Axis-aligned countries continued to use them until as late as 1946. In Germany, the planes were brought back into use to attempt to stop the allies advance in 1945 but the plane proved ineffective at such a late point in the war. <<CONTROLS>> AG-1 + VTOL UP for front landing gear, landing gear button for back wheel. --- AG-2 + VTOL UP for bomb bay doors to open. --- AG-3 + VTOL for rear gun control. --- AG-4 + VTOL for front gun control. WARNING: RETURN VTOL TO CENTER AND DEACTIVATE GROUPS AFTER USING THEM. --- Enjoy!
