Or... you could angle your approach to match the target alignment. In this case the target would likely be matching the direction of the front line there. And train stations usually are aligned with the track. Just needs a bit more piloting work on approach. And this should be done far enough ahead so the suicidal maniacs making up the rest of the formation can adapt to the change. Surely it wasn't against the rules. The lines on the map are guidelines only, after all.
The H16 has twice the internal bomb load since the H6 has half its bomb bay occupied by a fuel tank, The cockpit has a different layout, and the defensive guns have been upgraded. In practice in the campaign the H6s are a little faster because I'm giving them lighter loads (they're also a little lighter empty).
Wow! Great mission! So many details to master!
That's certainly the important metric
Heinkel seemed to have such a pilot-friendly cockpit layout owing to it's clear nose (I guess).
Great for navigation, not so great once bullets and flak get involved.

That would indeed help. Going forward I will alter routes to better align with targets where it makes tactical sense to do so.
How does the He 111H16 compare with the older He 111H6 models?
