Fun in JU-88's
« on: September 10, 2008, 05:45:32 PM »
Been having fun lately doing bombing runs in the JU-88.  With torps, it is great against CV's, or from altitude just drop your entire bomb load on the CV.  All those 50 kg bombs add up.  May just give up Lancs for a while. The only problem is what to do with all those bomber perks?  Maybe someday, we will get a non nuke B-29.

I have WAY too much fun in them, I'd trade away my fighter perks for bomber perks any day.

I've been flying Ju-88's a lot lately. Really good plane. Carries good ord package (2nd heaviest in the game IIRC). Fun for level bombing in something out of the ordinary.

B-25C's are a lot of fun as well.

Ju88 has the 3rd largest bombload in AH.  It goes...

Lancaster
B-24
Ju88
B-17

Still, with 4k kg of external bombs she's slow and vulnerable.  Where's the Do-217? :pray

f you take the 20kg eggs internal, and the 4 500 kg eggs under your wings, the 4 big ones will sink it. then you have 20 little ones to piss off the other gunners with.

 i like to use them to deack an airfield. salvo 1, fly runway heading, and drop. you can get 4 to 6 acks in a single pass if you line up right.
