He-111 has a smooth rounded nose. Ju-88 has a squarish boxy-looking nose.

Of course it helps if you've spent years admiring different airplanes in all their glory. :D

I feel the wing shape is the dead giveaway between the two. The He111 has more swept back, somewhat stubby looking wings.

Yep, that too. They have two engines. Other than that they really don't look alike at all. but that's what comes from looking at them for too many years. :sunny:

As an aircraft fanatic (I have only recently developed an interest in submarines) it is blasphemous to say that the Ju-88 and He-111 look the same! :o

Personally, the only plane I've seen in the game so far is the Hurricane. It's early in the war, and they can't place their bombs very accurately, and I really have to wonder why they haven't used their guns to open my boat like a can of sardines (not that I'm complaining, lol).

Differences are easily noticed in the camparison i made, just to further illustrate how wrong i was, lol [they're not scaled for a size comparison though]

No worries, I was yanking your chain a bit. In terms of scale, the Heinkel is considerably larger, but that would be hard to tell from the deck of a ship.
