    Basically, German bombers would have been toast again Fleet Air Arm interceptors. Germany never had enough bombers in WWII anyway, the lack of a heavy bomber is why you lost the Battle of Britain.
    Not with the RAF suppressed in the east, but you are right that heavy bombers would probably have helped in doing that in the first place, as would not shifting the focus to civilian targets/operation barbarossa. That's from a purely military POV, otherwise I'm glad the Nazis lost of course.
