Might as well add another plane for the dust collection. It will right in with the SBD and D3a. Yea!!!!! Sorry I don't seem all that hapy about the addition of another early war ride that will see limited action.

Hans Ulrich Rudel or something like that

Rudel was also credited with over 500 armoured vehicles and flew over 2500 combat operations (which is probably 1000 more than anybody else has ever managed).

Nope some other LW pilots logged 2000+ sorties. I can dig through my books and find their names. As far as th IRC fish slap LOL. Old school.

Many thanks.

heres an obituary
"Hans Ulrich Rudel, 66, the Stuka pilot who was
Nazi Germany's most-decorated soldier.
In 2,530 combat missions flying dive-bombers,
mainly on the Russian front, Rudel was credited with
destroying 519 tanks, 150 gun emplacements and 800
combat vehicles of various types.
According to Luftwaffe records, he also damaged
or destroyed three large warships and 70 smaller
craft. For this he was awarded the "Golden Oakleaf
with Sword and Diamonds to the Knight's cross of the
Iron Cross." He was the only German soldier to
receive that award in World War II.
Rudel was shot down several times, but escaped
serious injury until April 1945, when he lost a leg in
combat. He was captured by Allied forces at the end of
the war, and released from a POW camp in April 1946.
He was one of the few German war heros who
remained in the limelight after the war. He never
denounced Nazi ideology and embarrassed the West
German government several times with extreme
right-wing activities.
Died in Rosenheim, West Germany"

9 confirmed air-to-air kills for the stuke ace

mmkay, Now LW has Ju88A as an early war bomber, Ju87D as a mid-war bomber and in two years maybe some late-war bomber like He177 or Do217.
Looks like Allies got a new target for events, congratulations.
