Not as much. Turns great, not as bad in climb rate (without ords), dives excellent. The only problem is, they can run away before the lil peashooters take effect. Still can survive long enough til the help arrives.
With 20mm cannons at least you could shoot their running arse or keep them from hoing.
Running into a Ju87D-3 when I was flying an A6M3 gave me the most dominating fight I have had in a long time.  The Ju87 was completely outclassed by the A6M3.  It was slow, clumsy and helpless.  Adding 20mm cannons to it would not have helped.

Neither version of them should have F3.

If the Il-2 loses F3, so should the Stuka.

Hmm... I will give HTC the benefit of the doubt on this one.  Look at what they did with the Mossi FB Mk VI and the Mossi B Mk XVI.  One has F3 ability and one does not.  If HTC saw the light and took away F3 from the Il-2, and the Hurricane IID does not have it, then perhaps as time goes on HTC will re-evaluate each and every aircraft.  I think applying F3 capability to a class of planes if the wrong way to go about it.  I'd like to see it done on a case by case basis.  The D3A, SBD, and Stuka do not need nor deserve F3 capability, imo.                          

As for the new Stuka and F3, wait and see.     :aok

If either of them get F3 so should all 2+ crewed planes. Like the 110, 410, Mossie. Does the bomber-Mossie have F3 view?

Yes, because it's classified as a bomber.
HTC had to make the IL-2 a fighter/attacker with the fighter scoring option hidden (making that plane look as if it were the only pure "attack" plane) to get rid of the F3 view. The view modes are tied to categories, not individual planes.

The tactics I'd have used in the Mossie would have been different, but the outcome would have been just as sure.


As to F3 on the Mossie XVI, nobody complains about it because what is it going to do with it?  Set up awesome lead shots with the guns it doesn't have?

I'm not saying it isn't useful and shouldn be there.  I am saying people don't whine about it because it can't use it offensively.  The offensive use of F3 is what got the Il-2 in trouble.

There's a big difference between a bomber with 3 guns defending it and one with 10. That is why the B26 gets used so much.


Also, as a tangent, myself and some squaddies have quite successfully defended ourselves in B-25Cs against even Me262s. I got a 262 killer making lower 6 attacks at least 3 separate occasions, and one of my squaddies got 2 in a single sortie before as well.


Other than that, there's no comparison to B-25C and Ju-87.
