Heinkel He 115 is a Bomber in Kards - The WWII CCG.
Background[]

The Heinkel He 115 was a three-seat World War II Luftwaffe seaplane. It was used as a torpedo bomber and performed general seaplane duties, such as reconnaissance and minelaying. The He 115 was used for dropping parachute mines in British waters, usually aiming for narrow passages close to busy ports on the English south coast. The aircraft had its finest moment on anti-shipping operations against Arctic convoys from bases in northern Norway. Because the first convoys lacked air cover, the slow and lightly armed He 115 was less vulnerable. With the appearance of carriers and escort carriers, coupled with new Soviet heavy fighters, the Luftwaffe's air superiority over the convoys was challenged and losses increased.

Changelogs[]
Heinkel He 115 had it's base defense lowered by 1 on September 21st, 2021, in the update "Huff and Buff and Blow the house down." This was done to lessen its staying power as although it already didn't stay very long, it was still a little too good; and forced the enemy to spend orders on it.
