Country: | mind you late in the war the only reason they needed good range was to stay on station for ages to keep shooting down the bombers

Country: | Which they had a problem with but yeah they had no reason to really build extended range aircraft to attack england anymore because they had there own problems with there skies filled with allied aircraft. Once they lost air supieriority they should have just stuck with fighter, fighter, fighters and more fighters but Hitler never wanted to abandon completly his bomber program. I dont think I would have abandoned it completely either but I would have put more emphasis on interceptors, fighters, and ground attack aircraft.

Country: | Yeah it was not very successfull. They never really got a heavy bomber in large scale production and the best thing they came up with was the Arado Ar-234. But it too was too late.

Country: | just look at the BoB, they didn't even have proper bombers, the He-111 and Do-17 were officailly close support bombers and the Ju-88 was more of an allrounder...........

Country: | I would say the Ju-88 was the best overall bomber they had. I think it was quite an aircraft mostly because it could be used in many different varients especially as a night fighter. One mistake the Germans had was not to have a large quantity of heavy bombers like the kinds the allies had ie. B-17, B-14 and Lancaster.

They were ill prepared for a bombing campaign.
