....gentleman. i would like to see the d-5 variant of the stuka added.....it would be pretty easy. the current g-2 that is in game now......is based on the d-5. and so the modeling is already in game. the d-5 would have the bomb load of the also currently availabe d-3 that is in game now, with the addition of more speed in level flight, more speed attained in a dive and 2 x 20mm cannons in the wings. this variant was made in great numbers(almost as many as the d-3) and served from 1943-45 in front line service. hans ulrich rudell flew a d-5 before flying the g-1 and g-2. it would have increased performance over the current d-3 in late war scenarios and would be availabe in late war arena.

Yes sir absolutely and easy as pie to add....

Stuka with 2 20mm sounds nice.
-
:aok Sounds right to me.
-
+1 to this! We also need the long-range version of the Stuka. :aok

There was a long range variant made with DTs permanently attached to the wing bomb points.
-
They were based off the earlier B models and given the R designation.

Oooooo... I'd use it to fly to an HQ and back, just for the hell of it...and providing I actually LIVE to accomplish it. :)

finally a reasonable and likeable wish
-
So this model would basically add dual 20mm's to the same stuka dive bomber we already have?
-
Our current bomb truck Stuka with two 20mm would be underestimated by PO'd players for it's furballing potential at 25% fuel. Along with having a better survival rate on those mass Stuka fun missions. A few players would capitalize on this just to embarrass the less skilled. I remember a Stuka raid where our BB guns were what got most of the raid killed after a single La7 showed up at the vBase. Only one of us got home, and it took all of us peppering the La with BB's to knock him down as he slaughtered us.

Of interest the amount of different ammo configs

Sounds good :aok

and a little more horsepower than the D-3 currently in game, IIRC

+1. Stukas, and Stuka raids, are fun.

It sounds good to me, let's do it.
You show me a home where the Buffalo roam, and I'll show you a home thats not fit to live in.

I know HTC has a lot on their plate, but one has to wonder why this version was not added when they remodeled the Stuka not all that long ago???
-
Probably because it would have made the D-3 obsolete. Players would take the D-5 over the D-3 because of the cannons. I am surprised though that we didn't get a B series Stuka when the Stuka was updated, it would have been great for scenarios.

But then we'd have a complaint thread about the siren before the day ended... :noid

The most lopsided interception and fight that I have ever had in AH was intercepting a Ju87D-3 in an A6M3. The A6M3 just felt so immensely powerful and fast in comparison that it really felt like pure hunter vs prey.
I doubt the Ju87D-5 would have changed that a whit.

"Players would take the D-5 over the D-3 because of the cannons. I am surprised though that we didn't get a B series Stuka when the Stuka was updated, it would have been great for scenarios."
And that is why it was a D-3 to begin with. It could be used in place of B models in scenarios. An initial B model would have certainly meant that they were going to make later models too, now we have one which is somewhat representative for both Bs and Ds (and could be used to make the G).
I'd like to have D-5 because of MG151/20s, though. It is not a "Zero interceptor" but at least it could do something if it gets that one snapshot chance.

They are very turkey machines and with cannon would :aok a little scary. Seems like Ju87s were basically out of the picture in LWWII regardless. Would be a fun m3 killer in MA fantasyland though +1

+1, would deffinitly make me feel better about being assigned Stukas in FSO.
