the Ju 87B-2 was not armed with 20mm cannon... however it would be nice to have an earlier version of the Stuka)

Rudel's Ju-87B-2 was equipped with 20mm wing mounted cannons but I believe it was done just for him for field testing purposes and regular Ju 87B-2s were not produced with 20mm wing mounted cannons.

I do not claim to be an aircraft expert.  So u dont have to be real shady when you reply.  I am still learning about the planes of Aces High so if I put a plane down that is in-game but maybe isnt correct nomenclature, I apologize.  Give constructive remarks.  A few of you left comments that corrected me and I appreciate it...but aa few of ya have to be smarty panta and make me look stupid, so thanks.  To the others thank u for your comments.  MOTHERLAND, straight from specifications Box on JU-87G1 and B2: 

Armament-2 37mm BK 3,7 cannonand one flexible 7.92mm MG. (so I was wrong on the size of the cannon) I would have no problem scanning it and emailing u a few of these Models to prove I am not just making stuff up.  <S>

The BK 37 was equipped to the G-1 and G-2. It was not ever mounted on the Ju 87B-2 as far as I'm aware.

I thought D-3's equipped with the BK 37 became G-1's? Isn't that all a D-3 is?

Pretty much but during the Battle of Kursk, there was I think only a couple of 'official' G-1s and the rest were D-3s with the 37mm cannon.

Hey Ack Ack, thank you for your input.  As I said, this book i swritten by a gentleman who produced 35 Air Combat Videos and wrote countless books about WW2 Aircraft.  I am sure its possible he made a mistake on the Model for JU87 but if not, it would make the JU87 a much more deadly AC in the Ground Attack Mode.  As I have said, I will scan the sp[ecs and email it to you guys if interested.  Thank you again for the intelligetn input.  <S>

Nukes in this game  would be ridiculous, considering they were dropped because an Invasion of the Japanese home Islands would have been a slaughter (initial estimates for assault on Kyushu topped 1 million).  Think it is an unwise idea, but then who am I but just another noob, right?
