Point taken. There were plenty of German aircraft used along the western coasts of Occupied Europe, but the lack of a map of England limits the scope for German bombing and maritime ops on the Normandy map. So, I was thinking of the Normandy maps as maps where the Allies are on the offensive.
With the addition of the Tobruk and Italian maps, there's much more scope for German offensive scenarios. Taking off my blinders, here's a list of mid- to late-War German bomber or fighter bomber aircraft which were commonly used on the Western Front/Mediterranean:
Bomber/Intruder: Flyable Do-217K-1 & Do-217M-1. Do-217E-1, Do-217E-3, Do-217E-5, Do-217J-1, He-111H-16, He-111H-20, Ju-88C-2, Ju-88C-4, Ju-88S-1, Ju-188E-1, Me-410A-1.
Cargo: Flyable Ju-52/3mg3e.
Heavy Fighter/Strike Fighter: Flyable Bf-110C-4/B. Bf-110C-7, Bf-110D-1, Bf-110D-3, Bf-110E-1, Bf-110F-2, Ju-88C-6c, Me-410A-1/U2, Me-410A-1/U4, Me-410B-1.
Night Fighter: Bf-110F-4, Bf-110G-4, Ju-88C-6b NJ
Patrol Bomber: Flyable Do-217K-2. BV-138B-1, FW-200C-4, He-115B-1, He-115C-1, Ju-88H-2, Ju-290A-5, Ju-290A-7.
Training/Liaison: Bf-108B, FW-57B-1, FW-57B-2, Si-204D-1.
These aircraft would be most appropriate for the Italy, Normandy and Norway maps. Sub-sets would be appropriate to the Ardennes, Berlin and Tobruk maps. They'd also be perfect for the modded Channel maps, as well as any forthcoming maps of Southern Italy or Malta.
