I was doing some reaserch on the Junkers 87th model. aka The Stuka. It has a cruseing speed of only 192mph. Even tho i dont play in the MA it would be riped apart there. In the back it has a gun. i dont know the exact make but it had a double barrile. I allso wonder if HTC would model the screemers but to heer that cranked wing bird diveing out the sky then hear the whistle of the bomb then BOOM. well i got away from my argument there. It would finaly give those luftmaniacks there full experiance.

It would also fit in nicely with the BoB planeset. And Afrika for that matter. Who knows, if HTC gave it a 'BFG' weapons option you might see a few in the MA from time to time.
BoB scenarios just wouldn't seem to same without Stukas to kill :p

It might even be used as much as the 40mm variant of the Hurricane we have.

It is actually the icon settings that would kill Stuka. In WWIIOL I have 17.5 K/D ratio in Stuka and get rarely shot down by enemy planes because of icon settings that allow me to sneak past unaware fighters and if attacked I sometimes can cause fighter to lose sight and then I can sneak away alive.

in WWIIOL you can kill tanks with the stukas gear :rolleyes:
it out turns a hurri with full bomb load. with the limited time I have flown it Im 16 and 0. I dont think wwiiol air combat would be representative of any "main arena" flight sim. Even in wb3 with its rps and otto guns its an ez kill.
How ever I dont think it would be useless and would love to see it in AH. It would be usefull as long as a level of local air superiority can be maintained. However there much better ac in ah for jabo that in the main it would be rarely seen.
However for any sort of early war scenario it would have a use.
There are many other ac that should be a priority.
