Fighter version of Ju-88

[EskimoJoe]

Am I the only one who thinks that sounds like a request for .50's in the Ju88?

Yes.

BR, I like the sound of the idea. +1

If you're not going to get out of the house, read a book.

Mosquito fighters tangled with Ju88 fighters over Norway on multiple occasions.  Mosquito FB.Mk VIs vs Ju88C-6s mostly I believe.

Thing is guys its a variant, takes virtually nothing to build one because the work is already done.

Just a matter of swapping out the ord packages.

I'm pretty sure the -Cs only had 1x MG/FF (20mm) and 3x MG17 (7mm) guns. The G had the improved firepower, carrying 2x MG151/20s fixed forward, and 2 in upward firing positions in night fighters.

I think it'd be cool to tool around in a Ju88 fighter, but sitting duck against most planes attacking it

It's like a Ju87, light on controls and nimble, but still can be killed.

This is news to me.

You have claimed the same thing on this board before and been corrected about it before aswell.

I saw some film of this shot from a naval vessel at one time.  Wish I could recall where I saw it though.

Please expand on that wrong way. I don't really get what you mean by that. He said something like "a weapon loadout simmilar to that of the B-25H". Forgive me for thinking that, aside from the 75mm, the B-25 carrys only .50's.

He meant the different weapon packages similiar to how the B-25 has various weapon packages, for example the B-25C.

The Fw 190 did not have over 500 variants during the war unless you count factory and field kits. And that's just silly.
