I doudt we will see a d5. If we get a d5 we should get the g2. The d5 was lightened up (no dive breaks or wheel covers) and the wings were extended. this made it lighter and more manuverable then the d3. The d3 is a d1 with pilot armor added. It was slower and handle worse then the d1 or d5. The d5 had no dive flaps.

The d3 was the right choice as it allows it to be used as a sub for earlier versions.

The d5 was "close support" version of the d model. The d3 was a transitional version from the "dive bombing" battlefield interdiction versions to the "close support versions. The d3 was modified into the g1 and the d5 was modified into the g2.

I would expect 2 version of the stuka for now.

The d3 and g1.

The d3 can be subbed easily for earlier versions in events of the ct. The g1 give us a the big gun version.

Despite all the folks who claim to know more then ht the D3 version will fit right in for events and the ct.

As for the main only 4 planes are flown there anyway.
