The over accurate bomber guns coupled with the excessively fragile Spitfire wings makes any meeting between the two lopsided in favor of the Ju88s.

The Hurricane Mk I fairs a little better due to durability.


have you tried?

the RAF utterly destroyed the Ju88s and 109E's in the daylight bob raids last week, so im 100% sure with night cover it will be even easier
