Man, I have had a blast online in the later war maps in the Ju87G in IL2.  The one I remember the most I think is the one where we were in a three plane formation low on the deck just above the snow covered countryside.  We finally spot the artillary blast of our ground forces firing at the allied tanks, all three of us turned tword the colum of tanks in single file take turns pumping lead into them untill our guns were spent then as the allied defenders started to give chase we in tight formation headed for home.  Man that was intense radiator full open, borderline overheating, tree dodging fun. 

We only lost one of our 87s to the persuing spit before our gunners hit his oil forcing him to withdraw.

Add the G-2. It's a rare bird (one source says only 174 built), but the rarity seems irrelevant given that only ~105 Wirbels & ~45 Ostwinds were built (LTAR's go thru that many in one night  :D), and we have both. By all accounts the G-1 and G-2 took a fiercesome toll on the Eastern Front, so the G-2 would probably see a lot of use in base defense.

long long ago, the ju87 in ah1 had the 37mm gondolas. but they were removed for some reason (crying gvers)  :cry

they will never add them in game, the power of these would make gvs useless. i wish they would add the g as a perked plane (10-15). but never happen, its a conspiracy against anti gvers. :noid

Sure you're not talking about a different game? The only thing AH1 had for a long time were constant requests for adding a Ju-87 at all ;)

The Ju-87 was finally introduced to Aces High in December 2002, version 1.11

Why?

I never understand this mentality that units should be removed.

Sure, add a Ju87G-2, but keep the Ju87D for other purposes.
+1 on that. I got a fighter hangar with the 1800kg bomb. Once, but i still use the Stuka. Add the G-2 version and keep the D version as well.

It should be the G-1 we'd get since it was a converted D-3, which is the model we have.  The G-2 was a converted D-5.

Okay, so we just need to make some minor adjustments to the D-3 (while still keeping the D-3 model) and call it the D-5. Both planes were similar in basic plane structure correct?  :confused:

You really don't get the point.  There is no need to have the G-2 since the G-1 is the same thing with the only difference it's on the D-3 airframe.  There aren't minor adjustment, the D-5 had longer wings and a different power plant as well as different wing guns (20mm cannons).  And no, the G-2 did not retain the 20mm wing cannons from the D-5.

The title says "bombing" but to me it looks like a G at work.
