Click to see a brief video (http://exn.ca/news/video/19990423-Ju88Anim.ram) of the G-6
Period: World War II
Uses: Night Fighter
WingSpan: 65 ft 7.5 in (19.81 m)
Length: 54 ft (16.45 m)
Height: 15 ft (4.57 m)
WeightGross: 27,337 lb (12,400 kg)
MaxSpeed: 360 mph (579 km)
ServiceCeiling: 31,515 ft (9,605 m)
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 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
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) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
How bout a Ju88C instead? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

'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? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
