Heroes & Generals - wow, what an amazing looking recon plane! The German fions new Reconnaissance Plane is the Henschel Hs 126 B-1, given as default plane to new pilots, and available for purchase by existing pilots. Enjoy the video? Subscribe! ► ◄\r
\r
A new class of planes called reconnaissance planes (recon planes) will appear as “Fighter Recon” in the Ihlefeld update. All three of these new planes are two-seaters, with each having a rear-facing (tail) gunner sitting behind the pilot. So now you can bring your buddy to the skies.\r
\r
The tail gunners seat mechanic allows a fellow pilot to deploy into your plane as the tail gunner and help you both fight off enemy planes, but also harass and destroy enemies on the ground. You can choose to deploy as a tail gunner while waiting to deploy as a pilot, and when your own plane is ready you can un-deploy from the tail gunner seat and deploy your own plane. If your pilot gets shot or the plane takes too much damage you can un-deploy as well. Default key for both deploying and un-deploying is to hold the ‘E key down.\r
\r
This cheap and light aircraft is an effective German reconnaissance aircraft. Do not be fooled by the low speed of this plane. An experienced 2-man crew manning the forward and rear facing machine guns can pose a real threat.\r
\r
The recon plane is great fun to fly and fight with, the rear gunner providing a lot of protection against enemy planes, and the pilot can often turn the plane so the rear gunner is able to harass and destroy both enemy infantry and light vehicles with his machine gun. Just as with other vehicles, the pilot is also rewarded for kills made by his gunner. \r
\r
When you recruit a new pilot he will have the recon plane as his first plane. The plane has its own Specialist Ribbon that (for now) unlocks ammunition upgrades so you can get either light armor piercing rounds or HE rounds. This ammunition upgrade is only for the main gun, so having a rear gunner onboard cannot cost you anything. \r
\r
The Fighter planes (Bf 109 for the German fion, Yak-9 for the Soviet and the P-38 Lightning for the Americans) unlock with the Dog Fight Ribbon grade 5. All planes get updated controls and flight model in the Ihlefeld update. \r
\r
Like all the recon planes, the Henschel Hs126 B-1 is a reconnaisance (recon) plane fielded by the “Fighter Recon” assault teams. Recon teams are slower than Fighter Squadrons, but also cheaper to buy and use. Once a Fighter Recon assault team has earned enough experience it can be upgraded to a Fighter Squadron should the player owning the Assault Team choose to do so. \r
\r
The Hs 126 was used as a reconnaissance and observation aircraft in both the Spanish Civil War and WW2. An interesting note is that in September 1943 Henschel 126s were used to tow 10 DFS 230 attack gliders from Pratica Di Mare airfield near Rome to the Gran Sasso in the raid that rescued the imprisoned Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. \r
