Who here loves the new stuka? It's my new favorite plane. Sure it's slow, sure it doesn't climb soo hot, sure it's underarmed in the gun department but man is it fun the fly.

STYLE is the key here, you look soo damn good flying the plane.

It also carries up to 1800kg of bombs meaning you can really wreak havoc on enemy bases with dive bomber like precision.

It's very manueverable, i've already won some dogfights against enemy planes in the Stuka.

Great job on 1.11 HTC. LUV the stuka. Stuka , New 51 and Tiger models look fantastic.

I like the floor window too!

sounds like 20mm model would make good bomber escort...

I like the window in the floor, very cool.
Too bad we don't have the hoopty auto-dive function.

If they Had given us the 20mm model, the place whear it will see the most use would of been screwed, the CT I would had to leve it out of a lot of early war set up's with the 20mm gun on it, this way it fits more set up's. After the infauation perioud whears off it will see little use in the MA.

The 20mm Stuka now gives them a very simple second plane to add for 1.12 (heck even WB3 was able to do it

) Or optionally some even bigger guns - germans strapped all sorts of stuff on em.

w/ the dive brakes, somewhat low wing loading (not as low as TBF or SBD, but lower than F6F), Ju87 might be good for carrier ops...havent tried it yet

I'll use it. That 1800 kg egg is the perfect hangar smasher.

Forget the 20mm option on the Stuka. Just bypass that and get the high velocity 37mm gun pods. Those will f**k up a lot of GVs.
