The He-118 has come up on a few occasions and in general there seem to be a consensus that the design did not offer that many prospects. However, here is a specific development question on its possible development path.
Could it have followed the same transitions as was experienced with the He-112 A into the B version and later to He-100?
The He118 was not as good a dive-bomber as JU-87, and due to a thick wing with a lot of drag it was not that fast either. This latter part sound just like the He-112A. Would there have been any future for the aircraft if taking along a similar path?
