So we have 3 variants of the He-111 bombers, why don’t we have a few more with better Bombs and better guns? I would like to have a newer He-111 Bomber.
With a max speed for any variant which is 420km/h it would be a sitting duck…
Arguably the H-16/R1 is the last meaningful change in either armament or performance
H-21 swapped the engines with Jumo 213’s
H-22 was a modified H-16 to fire V1 Flying Bombs
Z-1 twin airframes for glider tug purposes

it would just be eaten live by everything known to man.

That sounds awesome, if not useless in War Thunder, bc maps are to small and targets are to small^^
Besides the early variants with stepped noses the only other one worth adding is the H-20 with new engines for slightly improved performance and better defensive armament. It could probably justify a BR3.7 but that as high as it go.
The H-21 was a transport. H-22 could carry a Fiesler 103 (aka V-1) but would be useless as the missiles CEP was measure in miles from a ground launch and even worse from the air.
Iirc none of the Zwilling Z’s planned as bombers or missile trucks were built. All those in service were tugs/transports although I believe their external stores racks could still in theory be used for bombs. Obviously it would gain from better armament but it would be a lumbering giant and not worthy of anything above 3.7.

There really isn’t one. The 111 was a very early design and taking it further than they already did would be like making an entirely new plane.
Would be better to just add a Ju 288 to the tech tree, or another He 177. Or the Fw 191, or the Ju 90 and 290. But no 111 ever really made it further.
