I'd love to see a Ju188A-2. A very pretty bomber with decent defensive guns, good speed and a useful payload.

Wow not one Ju188 request thread I have seen can stay on topic....

(Krusty, please get a a life and stop badgering the wishlist forum with your crotchety remarks.)

This plane would be a great addition to the planset.

*sigh*

THIS is what's wrong with this forum.

For the record I've previously stated (and this has been requested a million times) the Ju188 or 388 would be a great addition to this game.

Krusty you dont get it dude.
Ask for 2 planes and be happy if we get 1 of them
If you ask for one, number of recived could be zero :)N (as is now)

Not that Ramzey, I mean scrap's comment is what's wrong, not requesting aircraft.

The constant bickering BS and all that rot.

The plane was to be supplied in the three original 188 versions, J, K and L. The J model was a fighter with two 30 mm MK 103 and two 20 mm MG 151/20 in a solid nose for use as a daytime bomber destroyer. For use as a night fighter 103's were replaced by the smaller and lighter MK 108 and added a second pair of MK 108's in a Schräge Musik installation behind the cockpit. The K model was a pure bomber, with a pannier under the plane increasing the size of the bomb bay. The L photo-reconnaissance model put the cameras in the pannier along with additional fuel tanks for long range missions.

Three sub-models of each version were planned, different only in the engine installation. The -2 would use the 2,500 hp (1,838 kW) Jumo 222A/B (the B model ran the opposite direction of the A, but was otherwise identical), or the 222E/F versions with an improved two-speed supercharger. The -3 would mount the Jumo 213E, which included a supercharger similar to the 222E/F. With later models of the 222 it was supposed to have reached around 700 km/h (435 mph), again losing about 25 km/h for nightfighters. These -2 versions were considerably faster than the de Havilland Mosquito.

Would be neat to use the 'Organ Music' (upward firing cannon) in the arena! Faster than a Mossie...never even knew that part 'til I started looking at the plane! The "Stortebeker"

that 388 got the same kind of tail gunner the 234 does or is it acually manable

? Also the tail looks like it can be shot right of that thing with a 7mm lol.

That turret setup was a test version, not production. It was remote mannable, but aimable.

Does no one but me think those are REALLY ugly?!?

VooWho · « **Reply #24 on:** July 01, 2006, 10:58:45 AM »

I think the 188 looks cool, and the 388 looks AWSOME!

The tail gunners position.

But I don't think thats the standard defensive. I think they took out either the 20mm or the 13mm to reduce drag.

Reynolds · « **Reply #25 on:** July 01, 2006, 01:48:48 PM »

DUDE!!! The only objection i have to them is asthetic. Performance is acceptable, but they are UGLY!

I disagree!! I think it's quite elegant!

Reynolds · « **Reply #27 on:** July 01, 2006, 03:13:13 PM »

it looks like a dragonfly (which is nice) with an oversized head (which is not so nice) All im saying is, okay, i wont argue against it, but i think it looks wierd.

Krusty · « **Reply #28 on:** July 01, 2006, 03:16:24 PM »

I think it would look better with wider wingtips, rounded wingtips (almost like a He111) and a rounded tail. That would give it a more organic look to it. My favorite part is the enclosed green-house cabin, and the fuselage. Much more aesthetically pleasing than the Ju88a

Reynolds · « **Reply #29 on:** July 01, 2006, 03:46:02 PM »

Yes, rounded tail, but the wingtips look nice i think. Id just make the cockpit a bit more like the Heikel's, less bublous.
