Just wondering, is it possible to do the Ju 87 Stuka's trademark dive? You know the really steep one? I attempted it but the screen went red. I was just wondering if it was actually possible.
-
The screen going red is from "red out" (maybe it's called that) pushing too many negative G's. You are in effect trying to push your eyes out of your head ;)
Sure, but instead of just pushing forward, try rolling inverted over the target and then pulling nose down to the target.
Kind of like a spit S.
Also be sure to have a good amount of altitude if you are using the 1800kg bomb, it needs plenty of alt to arm.
-
thanks, will try this almost immediatly
-
divebrakes?

It also has a good frag radius. So you need alt to pull up and get away as well.

But makes a hell of a mess when ya hit a town LOL
-
the real stuka had a utomatic setting that would pull the plane up after bomb release incase the pilot blacked out,would be nice if we had this option,also u could see through the floor in the stuka which helpd with there dives along with the markings painted on the canopy with the different angles to the horizon
if we had all this working the stuka would be ausomly accurate

Quick question here: Doesn't the artificial horizon provide dive angle indication? The ticks along the outside of the circle, progressing through 30 and 45 degree angles of nose-down attitude? Those should provide an accurate dive-bank indication, although yeah...the real Stuka had lines painted inside the glass to show the angle of the dive.

You can see thro' the floor of the stuka in AH, but not with a centre line bomb loaded 'cos it blocks the view!
Rather defeats purpose of floor window :)
-
Hmm, the artificial horizon is set for 30 and 60 degree increments; you can see the numbers in the cockpit of the Ki-84, if that's any help.

HEY! I know the SECRET reason that window's there...
It's for the A-T version of the Stuka I've been waiting for with the twin 37mm's :aok
Comming soon!
I hope...

The Ju-87g would rock, as long as the IL-2M3 came with it.
-Sik
(oh, and JUDY JUDY JUDY)
-
Screaming dive sirens would be the business.
-
That would be soooo cool! I think the Stuka would be everybodys favourite plane just for the sirens!

That was the only reason I flew it in AW :D
-
I am very surprised that the JU-87 in AHII does not have the siren. Other than maybe its distinctive shape, it is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of that airplane. Would be cool to have it here.
-
I agree. I was so disappointed not to hear it!
-
ivegot a sound file u can add which only does the siern when the bomb is droped
-
could be cool! But im new and I dont know how to add the sound file
-
The siren was only used early in the war. It was removed after that. The only craft you might find it on would be a Ju87B-2, one of the major versions before the D that we have in AH. By the time the D was out the siren was old news and long gone. That's why we don't have it.
-
Ta krusty, never knew that. But admit it, It would be so cool to dive on a town with a scary siren!
-
Add a siren to the wind file, dive from 5-10K and it will turn on, since the Stuka doesn't cruise very fast it comes on only when in a steep dive, 300-350 knots, something like that.
Rogerdee's idea for adding it to the bomb drop is good too.

True, then -you- would hear it. But what about the poor sods you're bombing?
Admit it, a siren would be divine, if only for divebombing tanks :D
-
Pffft, I don't care if they hear it or not, it's all about me:aok

The pilot had a switch he toggled for the siren. If you are doing 350kts, you are exceeding the dive speed limit of 350mph.
-
I'd fly the darned thing if it had either the 37mm's - or the Siren :D
-
Do you think They'll ever put out the TB version?
-
You mean the Ju-87G? No reason not to. Too slow to be a bomber-sniper. And while very powerful again tanks, it's helpless to enemy aircraft. It is, after all, a stuka.
-
I certainly hope they do

The siren was removed on the D-3 version. The D-1 had the siren as well as the earlier models. When the D-3 came out, it was determined that the siren no longer had the psychological effect that it used to and was removed from the Stuka.
ack-ack
-
yea well, it would still be a cool addition!
-
Just whistle when you dive in a Stuka, problem solved =)
ack-ack
-
lol! I do anyway, but it gets a bit annoying after a while!
-
Whats the altitude the 1800kg bomb needs to be dropped from? Oh, and can that window help at all?
-
i generally drop it from any altitude and just pray that it arms in time! This may explain why people have stopped running from my bombs! lol
-
um, well, im not that patient... so... um... it would be easier to ram them... so... um... an actual altitude please?
-
500ft.
ack-ack
-
Thats all? thanks!
-
does anybody know id its possible to take a Stuka off of a cv?
-
Game wont let you. But if you land it there, you can get it back in the air from there. Just go full full flaps, and WEP on. It will work.
-
I'd love the siren, - lol, I'd even fly the thing just for it.
You'd need an earlier version though, typically the Bertha.
That would naturally be the candidate for the BoB ;)
