Aren't we supposed to take Star Trek a leetle serious?

What is the background of this episode or is it some kind of joke/fantasy/dream?

Would like to know more.

With the T34 arriving there will be a better job for the Stuka, hehe.
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

12 rds in each weapon, 24 total.

And I'm still having fun blasting tanks with the bunker buster bomb. If it lands anywhere around 1 or 2 tanks they are gonners!

I have 5 kills on T-34s and Panzers in it and 0 deaths. Here's he MA stats:

Ju 87D-3 has 9 Kills of T-34
T-34 has 1 Kills of Ju 87D-3

Ju 87D-3 has 12 Kills of Panzer IV H
Panzer IV H has 7 Kills of Ju 87D-3

Ju 87D-3 has 3 Kills of Tiger I
Tiger I has 3 Kills of Ju 87D-3

 The Hurri2D and the IL-2 is an excellent tank buster, but the Hurri2D needs a good concentrated aim to the tank roof to explode(not disable) a Panzer. Same with IL-2 - need to find right angles to disable or kill Panzers.

 In the case of the Tiger, it is almost impossible to even damage it with the Hurri2D, and the IL-2 needs a very good aim, concentrated hits, and luck too. The Tiger even withstands the mighty RS-182 tankbuster rocket.

 However, although it is a bit hard to aim, the 37mms on the Stuka will slice Panzers like knife through a butter and wreck havoc on the Tiger.

 It takes some skills to kill a Panzer or hurt a Tiger with a Hurri2D and an IL-2 - just plain sucidal strafes doesn't cut it. But if everybody can have Ju87G for free, and just go crashing into the tank with guns blazing, since a few hits will punch through the armour..  why'd anyone bother to even use a tank?

 I suggest 10~15 perks. Yeah, it's a slow lumbering plane, easy kill for a fighter.

 But its ability to do what it is intended to do, is more than enough to unbalance the arena in terms of GV battles.


They hurri still is good in the fighter roll where the ju87 would die at. you can atleast jump low flying bomber groups with a hurri mess them up and get away. the ju87g would more likely be chased by bombers then actually attack them. since the G would loose it's big bomb it would be reduced to nothing but tank busting. it's a dead can of spam vs fighter the hurri can do this. it couldn't catch a bomber both the hurri and to some extent the il2 can do this. and it would be dog meat to ack and flack when attacking bases where the il2 excels at the bomber attack roll the G would perty much still only be limited to anti-tank missions the reg ju87 wold be beter at hitting fortified structures and dive bombing in a one hit wonder mode. there really would be no reason to perk the ju87g after the first weak or two your only going to see them used against t34s panzers and tigers specifically while the me110 il2 will mostly be used as general perpose attack roll against all vehilces in general and regular ground targets like guns and buildings. and the huri as an attack fighter against just about every thing from the HO dweeb to bombers to tanks to hangers. the reg ju88 will be used for shore battery bunker busting and major structers as well as tigers and osties. it will also gives another early war bird to use in historical scenerios.
