As a P.S.: I don't know much about total production numbers, just how they were used and how they were replaced quickly.
Quick snip from Wiki (hey it's convenient and says essentially what I've read elsewhere)
"On 3 August 1943, Milch contradicted this and declared that this increase in fighter production would not affect production of the Ju 87, Ju 188, Ju 288 and Ju 290. This was an important consideration as the life expectancy of a Ju 87 had been reduced (since 1941) from 9.5 months to 5.5 months to just 100 operational flying hours. On 26 October, General der Schlachtflieger Ernst Kupfer reported the Ju 87 could no longer survive in operations and that the Focke-Wulf Fw 190F should take its place. Milch finally agreed and ordered the minimal continuance of Ju 87 D-3 and D-5 production for a smooth transition period. In May 1944, production wound down. 78 Ju 87s were built in May and 69 rebuilt from damaged machines. In the next six months, 438 Ju 87 Ds and Gs were added to the Ju 87 force as new or repaired aircraft."
Remember the D-5 was only started in early 1943, so already it was being phased out within a few months.
From vectorsite, on the D-5
"Confronted with a hostile air environment, by mid-1943 the Stuka was limited mostly to night operations. The Ju-87D-5 had no particular optimizations for flying at night, with pilots coming in low and slow and dropping antipersonnel bombs on clusters of incautious Allied troops. The Luftwaffe learned this trick from the Soviets, who had become fond of using little Po-2 biplanes on such harassment raids earlier in the war.
Although a "Ju-87D-6" subvariant was planned, with the focus apparently being the simplification of manufacturing, it was not built. The next variant, the "Ju-87D-7", was a Ju-87D-5 with night flight instrumentation and long flame-damper exhausts to hide the exhaust glow from the pilot or potential enemies."

It was a short-lived, not-much-used version that was a night nuisance raider. Those 20mm cannons were almost never used (especially at night) and it was more of an impotent attempt to remain defiant in the losing war.
Sure, it was a plane used by the Luftwaffe and it was used in combat, and sure it meets the inclusion bullet points for AH, but overall it's totally unrepresentative of the Ju87s and how they behaved in the real war. Put them in AH and all you'll get are "drop 1 4k cookie and then dogfight" types. They have limited to no scenario/FSO use and would only be an a-historical furballer in the MAs.
