He-619 Nachthuehner
"Hey folks, Kaiser-Pharaoh Friedrich Thutmose IV here. Yes that's right, now that Prusso-Eg- I mean, Osirio-Preussia is back, I'm back to narrate descriptions of military vehicles again. Just like the good ol' days....
...not like anybody reads these anyway.
....ANYWAY, weitergings. Das hier is the brand new... or brand old He-619 Nachthuehner, which means Nightfowl. It's a duck. It looks like one, and it even quacks like one. No seriously, the pilots are trained to fire the 20mm miniguns in the wing roots in a sort of pulsating rhythm that makes it sound like it's quacking. I don't even know why. I guess the Luftwaffe thinks it's like, the new Jericho trumpet. It's also got four 30mm cannons, I dunno if that adds to the effect or not. But that's a lot of guns.
The long and the short of it is, we needed a new cheap aircraft to fulfill two roles: close air support, and forward air control. What's that, you might ask? Well there's this thing called the internet, invented by the Kimmerians, you should try using it some time, it's awful. It's really fucking slow.
So we took this old plane, the He-419 Uhu (or Owl), and asked Heinkel to turn it into what we wanted. Why this plane? It's a crowd favorite, and the airframe suits the role. It can carry modern weapons and is best suited for modern avionics. Despite the fact that it hardly has any. Don't ask me how that happened.
We have a ton of shots of it flying over the shit-stained continent that we call home, and here's the juicy stats. Hey, get used to this, I'm gonna be here for a while. There's more scheiss coming up soon. Em heset net Ra, Kameraden."
