Service in the East[/color][/size]

Limited numbers of Stukas served in North Africa and the Italian campaign , but it was in Russia that the Ju 87 had its greatest impact.In 1941 the Soviet air force was effectively wiped out by the Luftwaffe and the 290 Stukas sent to the Eastern Front could attack without fear of interception.Hans-Ulrich Rudel , Hitlers favourite pilot and Germany's most highly-decorated flier , crippled the battleship Marat in an attack on Kronstadt.It was he who later pioneered the 'tank busting' Ju 87G with its 37mm guns and claimed 519 tank 'kills' by the end of the war.Shot down 30 times , he truly bore a charmed life.It was not until mid-1943 that German bombers were seriously menaced by Soviet fighters.Stukas continued to operate in large numbers-over 500 of them attacked the Soviet bridgehead near Novorossiysk in April 1943.Ju 87s were supplied to allied air forces of Romania , Italy , Hungary and Bulgaria.Stuka production peaked that year at 1,814 units.Some 5,700 were completed before production ceased in 1944.

YES. We had it in WB2, and it was a BLAST. Was great for deacking (since we had no GVs) and building pwnage.

The G2 would be better, but I would definitely like to see this.

And with it for the Allies, give us this:

The IL-2 With two NS-37 Hammerguns, tossing AP rounds.

Did you get a loadout choice? It seems like it would be terrible for either Deacking or building demolition if it were firing AP rounds.

As a variant it shouldnt be hard to include.

Having more planes other than hurri2d/b25h/il2 to shoot tanks with when ords are down is good. Germany need their one but personally i would like to see the 57mm molins on the mossie if we are talking perked ammo loadouts.

Where did you get the G-1 specifications from ?
The Jumo 211J had 1420 PS AKA 1400,5 hp AKA 1044.4 kW

AFAIK the G-1 had the shorter 13.8m wingspan, the G-2 used the larger wing of the D-5.

Life is already pretty miserable for GV drivers.

Please don't add this to make driving a GV worse than it already is.

I don't see how it would make it worst. Its going to be the same GV killer pilot just not in his HurrIID, B25H, or Il2, but in his new Ju-87G. Besides we are getting the WW. 4 20mm shooting at that slow Ju-87 and you have Stuka bird for dinner.

I'm all for the Ju-87G.

danke sir, trust me. We need some more german planes. Now i won't go on about the HE111, but this is just another varient of the current stuka. I would really love to see this plane because german does not have a tank busting plane, note i did not say dive bomber.

That's true. There are way too many Soviet Models in the game.

Yeah I'd love to see it cause I'd love to see the Stuka more involved in the game. And any headache the big gun Stuka would cause for GV's would be offset by the fact the Stuka looks like a big fat turkey coming into M16s and Osti guns. Also dont forget were about to have a quad 20mm flak Gv introduced.

So it will all even out in the wash.

somewhere on youtube(I believe) is gun camera footage of those 37's.....Man they make a big boom.
