Hello

 

I've always seen the He-111 with 2 bombays like here: http://imgur.com/a/Mxndobut ingame it only use 1. 

 

Is there any specific with the ingame He-111 version or is it just missing?

LukeFF recently stated in a different thread (at least I think it was him...) that the second bay was used for carrying oil/gasoline in this specific variation of the He111.

Correct. In the H-6 model, the second bomb bay was converted to carry fuel and oil tanks in order to increase the plane's range.

Well, I rarely use more than 40% fuel so I'd rather have the bigger bomb bay, but it looks very cool to have a SC500 hanging on the closed side.

Yes I hope this will be changed one day... I'd love to fly with a buddy in MP who could then act as front gunner and bomb aimer... I have no idea why the bomb aimer and pilot position were merged.

It's probably for simplicity's sake why it is the way it is right now - after all, it's coded the same way in ROF. That said, yes, it would be nice if someday the bombardier was functionally the bomb aimer and not the pilot.

I don't know what it would take but it would be great if you simply had to Ctrl+C (switch position) to the bombardier before you pressed V to access the bombsight.

Same here. I miss that second bomb bay door :)
