Snail,
if i see that diagram right, from 600m and with an impact angle of 50 degrees (very poor hit) it still could penetrate a 35mm thick armor.
Thats way thicker than the top of most of the tanks.
Also, with the new GV vis system, you only can see their icon from 730 meters, ergo most shots will be taken from closer ranges.
Wont be as hard to get a kill. Just my theory tho.

You could be right. Can't wait to see how it plays out.

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

How many of you guys have ever done those fun mission stuka raids to find yourself surviving for awhile at the destination furballing and wishing you had heavier caliber wing guns than 2-7.8mm BB piu, piuers? Chances are with 20mm in the wings some of you would live to fly home with a few scalps or actualy finish de-aking a feild. Thats why you ask for a D5 not the D3 with a new hairdo.

Then you could launch the most irritating raid in the history of the game. Ju87-D5 with 20mm in the wings escorted by Brewsters. Turn your back on the stukas for the brewsters and the 20mm get ya. Or start turning with the stukas and the brewsters hose you coming and going. I could see that as a new FBDred fun mission. The Hot Bratwurst and Finnish Sauna mission. Natrualy the female Fin ground crew will ride rear gunner for the stukas.......

Typhoon was updated recently. I never fly the tempest lanc or yak.

Needs more German Iron.

I suspect the reason they went for a D-3 is that the D-5's 20mms would be too unbalancing in scenarios. The mg-armed D-3 can do duty for the B and R in early scenarios and unlike the B can carry the big bomb for the MA. The G-1 was only made in very small numbers so the G-2 was the more logical choice. Also the larger wing of the G-2 should make it handle better with those heavy cannons.

From a skinner's POV Waffle designed it so both Stukas share about 90% of their parts on the bmp. Even the wings are in the same positions, you just have to extend the tips on the G.

Wonder why they decided to model the G-2, which is based on the Ju-87D-5, instead of the G-1 which is based on the current D-3 model we have?

ack-ack

Perhaps we are getting several models like we did with the P40 update?

You'll notice that theres a pattern to updates.

We usually get a GV, a new aircraft and atleast one plane updated.

Starting with the P40 we got an update and several new models. (and giant offroading tires) :D

And I dont see how a tank busting stuka is going to be a hanger queen
