I've seen it listed a few other places; that of course was probably without armor, defensive armament, or any payload.A 17,000 pound 3 man 59 ft wingspan plane with 1,700hp can do 353mph. Hmmm seems like Henschel had managed to design a plane made of zerodragium.
Figures according to wiki and they are only occasionally wrong with Nazi paper planes.
From what I've read, it was capable of carrying a 3,300 pound (1,500kg) bomb load, but I don't know if this was for V1 or V2 or the overall specification for the type.Any idea about range or what bombs it could take or how they were stored?
I think this is the most important point. The Hs 124 might have been interesting from a 1934/1935 standpoint, but the Hs 127 was a newer, more refined, more advanced aircraft. Information seems limited, but if the figures Greg dug up from that Russian site are accurate, it's very similar in size and overall dimensions to the Bf 110 (actually very slightly smaller, though obviously with a larger fuselage).Can we have a reality check please. This thing was almost the size of Hampden. Wing had 88% of the area of the Hampton. Anybody think you could stick a pair of Merlins on a Hampden and turn it into super bomber? And the Hampden was a 1-2 year newer aircraft. The Luftwaffe had decided in 1935 that the specification to which the Hs 124 was built was NOT the way to go and split the requirement into the separate Schnellbomber and Zerstorer.
Henschel designed the HS 127 to meet the Schnellbomber specification.
The War Thunder Forum states that the Henschel Hs 127 would also have been armed with one dorsally mounted 7.92 mm MG 15 machine gun.From what I've read, it was capable of carrying a 3,300 pound (1,500kg) bomb load, but I don't know if this was for V1 or V2 or the overall specification for the type.
As far as the internal load position (or cockpit, arming, etc.), I haven't seen a schematic for the Hs127, so I really don't know.
I have some Sodium Chloride that would work nicelyDamn Dave.....hope you left some burn ointment
