Excellent news for fans of German aviation:
one of War Thunder’s old timers, the He 111H-6 bomber is receiving an updated model!
In addition, we’ve fixed a range of bugs that were present in the old model.
The German Heinkel He 111H-6 bomber is a true old timer in War Thunder – this aircraft was among the first to arrive in our game. As you already know from our Developer Diaries, work on upgrading old vehicle models takes an important place in the list of our artists’ and modelers’ responsibilities. In update 1.61 Road to Glory, the German bomber will receive an updated model and texture, which includes the removal of various drawbacks in the old model.

The current in-game model of the He 111H-6 is noticeably outdated and no longer meets the quality standards that we set for vehicle models in the game. The new model of this regular of aerial battles in ranks II-III now has far more polygons and the new texture has a 4K resolution and has become far more detailed than the previous model.
Alongside this model update, we have fixed a range of flaws present in the old version of the bomber. Firstly, the machine gun in the lower frontal mount point (the ‘bathtub’ under the fuselage) has finally appeared. Another machine gun has been added in the tail – it’s barely noticeable on the model, with only a few centimeters of barrel visible. In reality, it was absolutely immobile and served as a kind of scarecrow – the aircraft pilot has the ability to fire a volley from this machine gun from time to time which was intended to frighten off any fighters tailing the Heinkel. In War Thunder, this function will be implemented, but the machine gun will have a minimal field of fire on the vertical and horizontal planes, so that the player can have at least a small chance of shooting down chasing aircraft when firing this machine gun.

We’ve also fixed a bug in the geometry of the fuselage around the bomb hatch – in the new model, this area is implemented in accordance with technical documentation on the bomber. Another useful improvement: the bubble window on the upper turret will move to combat position, meaning the field of fire of this turret will be significantly improved.

i like the new b-29 static model, but you still haven't modelled the defensive armament correctly yet the static model has the quad 50. cal. turret in the front but it only acts like it has 1, plus you still haven't added the single 20mm in the tail that the b-29A-BN had. now im not saying it has to be this updat but come on, you already have quad turrets in the game so just change the X-ray texture (it could even be a 6 month's from now) (dont take this as a hate comment im recommending things)
(im just recommending things)*
Will the fw200 ever get the proper defensive armament including 20 mm cannons?
Will the He 111 H-6 lose it's 3 camouflages or will they be remade for the new 3D model?
what's going to happen too the the unlock skins for the H6? and will the battle of stalingrad skin still be availed or become unlockable?
''In reality, it was absolutely immobile and served as a kind of scarecrow'' ok????!!! SO MAKE IT LIKE IT WAAS IN REALITY THEN!! Don't mess around and change things to fit the game, Make stuff and do them as in reality. We want stuff as they were in reality, BEAUTIFUL model update good job! but then you destroy it all by making something like it wasn't. SHAME on whoever decided that this was ok to do. Awesome thing to have a scare MG firing of bursts like that.
The armament is still incorrect. Look here: https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/254504-151778-he-111-h-16-missing-realism-bug/&do=findComment&comment=6350247
Will the other He 111 also get a new model?
Will this apply to all the He-111 Models?
For now, only to H-6 model. H-3 and H-16 are different.
Lots of planes that exist with the same models and textures from Wings of Prey/Birds of Steel. Always good to see older stuff getting updated to meet today's standards.
What about H-6's correct defensive armament layout? It had 20mm MG/FF in forward gondola position instead of 7.92mm MG15. Also thank for moving bubble window back, now we will be able to defend more easily.
