After the important and very useful He 111 and decent, if uninspired He 112, Heinkel IMO had a lot of problems to come out with a remarkable design worthy to mass produce. Some promise was held with He 100, 280, 219 and He 162, but neither took the RLM by storm, so to speak, bar the 162 that was too late, and with some of it's own problems. Th He 177 was a waste of limited German funds and time.
So lets have Heinkel design something that LW might've put into a good use, and also have RLM grow a brain cell or two to accept promising designs in a timely manner. The dive-bombing requirement is put aside for the moment if that helps.
