The Ju 87D-8 was built off the D-5 air frame, not the D-3. It's easy to tell by the wings.
In any case, there were definitely MG151 equipped Stukas with the same airframe and wing shape as our current model.
It won't. Sorry to burst your bubble.
ack-ack
Maybe not for you, but we had a snapshot frame 2 in SEA that pitted Val's vs Stukas in pure dogfighting, just for fun. Stukas were able to best the Vals in at least 50% of the turnfights.
Kermit was there, many other vet pilots. Sure it's not a vert fighter like the pee38, I'm not saying that it is. It is slow, sure, but so are the Brews and SBD's, ect.
Point is, a good stuka pilot will have much, much better chances to get air2air kills and RTB with the 20mil's added.
(ps, there is quite a few Luft pilots that take them up to dogfight in MA just for fun)
