If only it had a 13mm or 20mm forward gun instead of those infernal bb's

Yes! A forward firing stream of urine would hit harder than those BBs.

Still don't get why they have the formation option enabled from the attack menu for those aircraft. Why can these "attack" aircraft take off with no ords when they have zero strafing ability as a formation?
Why makes things complicated?
You can select attack+formation even though it is very difficult to set us a strafing run this way (though very much possible and fun to attempt!). I can't see a way to exploit this in any significant way, so keep it simple.

Ju 88C-6a or C-7c. Heavy long-range fighter/bomber. Four 20mm in the nose, two in the gondola.  :cheers:

Yes please.  The H88 can be a lot of fun to take out and throw around, but the pea shooter makes it an exercise in futility.

Ju-88P1-P4 variant had 37mm, 50mm, 75mm, or 88mm. Other variants were equipped with radar for night fighting capabilities, 20mm and 30mm cannons that fired forward and some that were angled high to shoot bombers by flying under them. How fun would the ju-88 be if we had all these options in the game eh :D

I have used both in attack roles and even participated in dogfights with both as well.   The B25C has better punch with all those forward facing .50's. :aok

A fighter version of the Ju88 would be great to have.  Anything that increases the use of this core WWII airframe in the game is good with me.
