There is no indication that the Gruppe ever received any specialised aircraft. It never used the Bombentorpedo in action. When the Gruppe transferred to Germany from Norway (where it had been in training) it operated in the land ground attack role. The only 11./KG 200 aircraft that I have seen a photo of was a perfectly normal F-8
