Heck Yes. I already dog fight with the Ju88 and its 1 forward BB gun. I've manage to own one plane.

I once took on a N1K2 with the Ju88s nose gun and won. Killed his engine, his oil, some gas leaks, but the bugger was lucky enough to get a safe landing on the strat I was bombing with the Ju88 in the first place. I'd love to have some cannon on this puppy. I think it might do better than the 110G for bomber busting.

Wasn't it faster than the 110G?

at altitude yes.  I believe with the jumo213 power eggs it was capable of 403mph @ 29,000ft.  that made it a deadly opponent of the bomber streams.

Ju 88G-7 never entered production. And adding nightfighters into sim which doesn't have night modelled realistically isn't really viable.

The best bet for a heavy daylight Ju-88 fighter variant would be the Ju 88C-6. It's maximum speed was only 310mph and would have 4 cannons in the nose...3 MG-FFs and 1 MG151/20. It probably could have some use in the Early War arena.

It would be a cool plane but IMO there are still loads of more important variants to be introduced to the plane set.

The C had 3x MGFF and 3 7mm MG17s, it didn't have MG151/20s, as far as I know.

The Ju 88C-6. She looks pretty sexy.


Heres a site with a bunch of Ju-88, but its in a different language and I can't read it. I can make out some words. Click Here

Heres one in English. Though it is internet source, I don't know how accurate this site is, but I bet some of you know. Click Here

It's Brazilian Portuguese.

On the topic of the C-6 it says that the model was used in long-range patrols, and that compared to the C-4 it had more firepower and more armour.

It was used as a nightfighter, and it was of "extrema importância contra os bombardeiros", which doesn't need translation. "Os Bombardeiros" would be a good name for a squad.

It says that the C-6 used the famous "Lichtenstein" radar, which was of course invented by the famous pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. It says that the C-6 was "bem sucedido", which puts me in mind of Phil Collins.

"Caça noturna" is Portuguese for night hunting, or night pursuit. It is pronounced "cassa" rather than "cacker".

A Portuguese hunter is a "caçador", in Italy he would be a "cacciatore", in France he is a "chasseur", and in Spain he is a "cazador". I have a theory that, in ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history, the people of Portugal invaded and colonised the people of Spain and France and Italy, and made them speak Portuguese, but that in the years since then the One True Tongue has become corrupted. Or perhaps it was the other way around, and the people of Italy invaded Portugal via France and Spain.

Or perhaps the people of Spain invaded Portugal, and then turned around and invaded France and Italy. Or perhaps the people of Italy launched an ampibious assault on Portugal, and then invaded Spain and France simultaneously, from different directions. I could go on. But I won't.

To further hijack it,

The reason French, Italian, Spanish, and a lot of other languages are similar is because they all stem directly from the same language. Namely, Latin.

Over the years as land conquered land, the language adapted as new cultures bumped into each other. It changed radically over the next couple hundred (?) years. In fact, the French language was codified as an attempt to stop the bastardization of Latin.

Now imagine how different Latin is from French, yet the one stems directly from the other. That must have been a tumultuous couple of centuries if the language changed THAT fast.

Thus ends the minor history lesson (for now).
