Range:  1,364 mi (2,195 km)
Power:  Two 1,750 hp Junkers Jumo 213A-1 liquid cooled engines
It packed quite a wallop with five or six 20 mm cannons (including a set of cannons firing upwards at an anfle of 60 degrees, called Schrage Musik) and a heavy 13 mm machine gun in the rear.

Superfly look at those antennas, isnt she beautyfull?.. should be something for a young male fly like you

This version of JU-88 is not a bomber but a night fighter, made for blasting B17s out of the sky. Maybe we could find a use for it in main arena even if we wont get a night there. Anyway it should be possible to make the G-6 from the hull of the A4, so why not make it?

The antennas on the Ju-88G were said to add so much drag that the plane's meeger preformence was diminshed still further.

The term "Night Fighter" normally does not mean fighter at all...rather multi-cannon rock-planes (there are exceptions of course)  

How bout a Ju88C instead?

"The maintenance officer demanded why my smashed wing tip looked as if it was taking root-- hunks of wood were rammed into it. 'I hit a bird' I told him. 'Well' he replied, 'that son of a squeak must've benn sitting in one helluva nest!'" -- Chuck Yeager, describing the time he trimmed  Joe Clifford's tree with the wing tip of a P-39.

Did the B17 do much night bombing then?
