I would definitely like to see the Stuka updated with the additional gun package. Would be some fun times popping GV dweebs on the ground.  :D

If you read carefully, your video refference was not of a Ju87G-2, they were Ju87D-3's. It's right in the drop box below the video.

The G-1 was a D-3.  Numerous D-3s were outfitted with the Flak 18 37mm cannon and redesignated as Ju 87G-1s in addition to the factory produced G-1s, which were built on the D-3 airframe.

It wasn't all dirt, a lot of it was water as well.  Most of what was being attacked in that gun footage, were Russian landing craft.  But there IS another film of them hitting tanks, and the plume of dirt and dust was almost as large.  What I would like to see as well, in terms of eye candy, are realistic torpedo plumes when they struck, and realistic bomb "hits" in the water too.

My question is, how well will the BK-37 be modeled here if they decided to add it?  There is one film I saw of them knocking out a what appears to be a T-34 in a flanking attack.  I do believe in the same film, I saw what might be a KV-1, being knocked out in a flanking attack as well.

This is that film...

The 1st tank looks more like an M4 than a T-34.  The 2nd tank in this film, appears to be a Panzer that they are using in a test, but who knows...  As for the 3rd tank, it does look like a KV-1, but it would appear the pilot was having trouble hitting it.  The footage also show's him firing his MG's at the tank at the same time.  My other question is (at this point), if the BK-37's are added, will we still have the ability of using our MG's?

I don't think the factory produced G-1s retained the wing mounted machine guns but retained the rear 2x MG42s.  The D-3s converted on the field though may have retained the wing mounted machine guns.
