Intgerate: The Ju 88 S-models. This were fast bombers, which were 1943-45 producted.
High-speed bomber series based on Ju 88 A-4 but with ventral Bola gondola omitted, smoothly glazed nose with radial-ribbed supports instead of the "beetle's eye" of the A-version, and GM-1 nitrous-oxide boost, fastest of all variants. Wikipethia is here right. 
Armanment: one 13,2 mm MG 131
Wikipethia is wrong about the three typs Ju 88 S1-3.
S-1: BMW 801 (1,250 kW ), Maximum speed: 600km/h, bombload: 800kg (intern)
S-2: BMW 801, Maximum speed: 590km/h, bombload: 1500kg, (intern) with the larged wooden bomb bay of the A-15
S-3: Jumo 213A (1,287 kW) , Maximum speed: 615km/h, bombload: 800kg (intern)
-
Intgerate: the Ju 88 night fighter models, C (Jumo 211) and G Types. The G7 (Jumo 213A) was 637 km/h fast.
-
Reintgerate: the Ju 188. More than 1200 were build. The best Ju 88 version. Actually it was the Ju 88 B. Best german torpedobomber, bigger bombload and greater range, than Ju 88 A‘s.
-
Intgerate: the He 115, widely used seeplane: Bomber and Torpetobomber.
-
Intgerate: the He 118
The He 118 was much better than Ju 87, but at the test-flight-day not fully developed. Udet demolished the test plane, by operating mistake, so the Ju 87 A were selected.
He 118, with an 634kW DB 600 engine, was faster, could carry the same load than a Ju 87 B-2, with an 883 kW Jumo 211 engine.

Generalzeugmeister Udet was a very well known acrobatic flying pilot, but the for job in luftwaffe ineligible and he don‘t liked it, too. He commited suicide because of his fail (1941) to mange his work.

Changes:
The He 112 was the better plane overall, but slower than the Me 109 with the same engine, therefore the He 100 Type. The He 112 was so good, that Spanish He 112 (model 1936) shoot down P-38 Lightnings November 1942.

The Fw 190 A‘s were much better than Me 109 model at the same time. The problem of the Fw 190 was the engine. The first BWM 801M were unrealiable (1941-1942) and later 801D under at moist-hot condition. The performance of the 801M‘s and D‘s in high altitude was bad.
The BWM 801 needed C3-gasolin, it was rare in Germany.
The fasterst (729 km/h) was the 190 A-9, with an BMW 801 TS, also with good performance in high altitude. 660 A-9 were build 1944 and 1945.
There were a csa-variant Fw 190 F, a long-range ligh-bomber Fw 190 G variant, even a torpeto bomber variant were build: Fw190 A8 U15.

Fw 187 should have creatable variants, like with an 736kW DB 600 engine it maximum speed of 634 km/h, DB 601 and 605 were planed. The was much better than Me 110. Some Fw 187 were used in German unit, and immediately prefered by the pilots.

We could see if the creator can add the infamous Flying Wings of the luftwaffe, i know some that not too many heard about. I would be impressed to see them in their own category.
