5.(F)/122 Ju 88

[Greebo]

The Il-2 gave me a taste for winter skins so I thought I'd do a Ju 88 as well. This is a Ju 88D-1 of the reconnaissance squadron 5.(F)/122 which served on the Russian front. The Ju 88D-1 was basically an A-4 with the bomb equipment and dive brakes removed and cameras fitted.

Cool I like that. I guess we can say then the JU-88 is not up for an upgrade this time around then? 

[USRanger]

That's just sweeet

Purty!

Beautiful once again Greebo!

[StokesAk]

That looks awseome and can be used for FSO and scenarios.

Nice work Greebo!

Nice work Greebo!

I'll do it.

It's a recon bird yes.  But more importantly, it's an unarmed recon bird.  Armed recon Spits and Mossies, fine.  F-6's OK too.  They still have guns.  F-5's, unarmed, recon P-38's I believe have already been given a No Go.

PRU Blue 38's look cool but no guns is no guns.  Same with bombs.

Looks nice though.

It's just not the same as how Krusty would do it!  You're about 2350 words too short!

More like "I didn't think of it first so I'm going to put it down, because you did a better job then I ever could!!!11!! ''. But as banshee said, it would take you an hour to read his version.

Question how do you know they were unarmed?

I like Krusty.  He's a good guy.  But his stuff on the BBS...WHOA NELLY!

Excuse me? Please don't go spreading lies/flames/trolls/baits/BS in a forum where it doesn't belong.


Here's a tip: I never go into the O' club, knock yourself out in there.

There's a very valid rule for not having improper skins in the game. I think unarmed recon planes skins are not needed (especially in this case, when winter camo was used on so many other Ju88s that WERE armed).

I'm juat repeating what I read in Greebo's discription:

The Ju 88D-1 was basically an A-4 with the bomb equipment and dive brakes removed and cameras fitted.

No bombs equipment = unarmed.

It cannot carry bombs and it would be on an aircraft carrying bombs.

The USAAF used unarmed Spits for recon.  I wouldn't expect to see those represented in skins.  Same for F-5s as I've already mentioned. 

F-6s, the recon version of the P-51, however, was still armed with its .50 cal. mgs and would be fair game.

I thought this issue was resolved with another aircraft that had similar issues. So long as it had guns & was used in combat & did not change the profile of the aircraft it did not matter if it had bombs or not. I don't recall now what plane it was maybe a dedicated B25 strafer?
