Looking around, there seem no recent what-if for Luftwaffe as a whole subject for late 1930s/early 1940s. So here it is - what kind of aircraft and doctrine the Luftwaffe will need to come by, starting from 1935 and still coming strong in 1942. No jets, no guided rockets, no proximity fuses. Guns and engines can differ from OTL, but hopefully will be using the technology of the day.
Suitability for mass production is a major plus. So is using one engine if two engines don't give a meaningful return of the investment, but if 2/3/4-engined job offers a major advantage than press on with that - trained manpower is harder to 'produce' than good aircraft.
Plese note that Flak (from 20mm up) is also mostly prerogative of Luftwaffe (as is whole air defence of the Reich, includes also radars), Heer has just a small percentage of Flak at disposal.
Please note - Wehrmacht is mentaly geared for offensive. Good rules might be 'do no harm' (ie. don'd cancel what worked), and 'take out the trash' (ie. avoid several money holes from OTL). WW2 starts as per OTL, attack vs. West is also on schedual.
