The G-1 didn't have any wing guns, just two removable gondolas mounted under the wing.

we already have the a-20 which kills practiclly all of the gvs that get near our bases

Only with bombs, after the bombs go the A-20 will only kill soft skinned vehicles.  Might get lucky and track a tank or take out the pintle gun but the A-20 will not kill a tank with just the .50s.  The Ju-87G-1 and G-2 have single shot kill ability with the 37mm Flak 18 cannon.

i like the stuka. but i have the one being used in this game. the stuka could not have been this bad. the bombs are sufficient but the flight of the plane sucks.

Ok let us assume you strap on the big cookie. You do realize thats almost 2 tons added on a single engine aircraft, not to mention drag penalty?

If you actually took some time to read about the planes you fly, you'll know that the D-3 is the worst of the Ju87s.  The additional armor and wing design directly impacted the performance of the Ju87D-3 which resulted decreased maneuverability over the other Stuka variants.  Basically, the D-3 was almost a transition variant, from dive bomber to ground attack plane.  The D-3 was the last model to feature dive flaps.  However, in AH2, the Ju87 is probably one of the best turning aircraft and can still be a pain if the driver is any good.  YMMV.

It is the easiest to use of all dive-bombers to hit stuff with. Chop throttle, pop dive flaps, and you don't dive, you practically PARACHUTE straight down towards your target until you think you are as close as you ought to be, pickle the bomb, pull up. No worries about over-speeding you run into with any fighter-bomber, A-20s, etc. As for perfomance...well, its faster and climbs better than a Cessna, heh heh heh. And it carries the Big fng Bomb.

In turning, if anything, I'd say it is surprisingly good, considering the things were thought of as sitting ducks for Spit1s and Hurri1s.

There's a reason why in CoD2 u c stukas and spits fighting over El Daba, it's a great plane when u fly it right

Been too long since this thread was on the front page. Considering the addition of the new Il-2 cannons, shouldnt be too difficult to give us the cannons on the model we have now... or just give us the G model instead.
