BoB 40, Luftwaffe:
The depiction of I./KG 40 could in my opinion be changed from start, https://www.ww2.dk notes to this:
"1./KG40 was formed 1.11.39 at Bremen with Fw 200C bombers. Stab I. and 2./KG40 was formed 1.5.40, and 3./KG40 on 1.6.40. In 9.40 3./KG40 became Ausb.Sta./KG40, and was reformed."
So I./KG 40 could be depicted with 2 Staffeln, and this right away with FW 200. The Stab/KG 40 was indeed equipped with He-111.
And the loadout of KG 4 could be adjusted. German wiki notes to this:
"Im Juli 1940 schulte der Geschwaderstab die I. und II. Gruppe auf die Verwendung von Luftminen um. Grund dafür war die bevorstehende Luftschlacht um England, an der das Geschwader im Rahmen der 9. Fliegerdivision der Luftflotte 2 teilnahm. Inzwischen lagen der Stab und die I. Gruppe in Soesterberg, die II. Gruppe in Eindhoven und die III. Gruppe in Amsterdam. Auch erhielten die Gruppen mit der Heinkel He 111H eine verbesserte Version des Bombers. Bei den anschließenden Angriffen auf die britische Insel war das Geschwader bei allen Großangriffen auf London beteiligt. Weitere Schwerpunkte waren Hull, Bristol, Liverpool und Belfast."
So KG 4 could possibly use such a German Luftmine, the He-111 in the version H-4 could likely carry a SB-2500 with 1640 kg Amatol 60/40(60 % TNT, 40 % Ammoniumnitrat). I assume that it would have a much bigger effect then the 250kg bombs that it carries now. Who knows, maybe the game code even has some effect if such bombs are used and incendiary bombs afterwards.
Even if not the KG 4 would have a reason to be assigned to the special formation called "9. Fliegerdivision", currently it's just a KG with He-111 like most of the other.
