I love the JU 88,for all the reasions stated above and then some, it is the best handeling buff in the game, it is, as has been said an early war buff. I think the reasion that it was added is because of it's historical revelance, and the fact that so many diferent aircraft(variants) can be done from the existing airframe.Also I have goten multiple kills in it before, the ventral gun is the way to go, and keep turning,manuavering till they are on your 6 again.
