Acceleration and deaccelaration in game is not the same as in real.
As example remember how difficult it sometimes is to lose Speed during a landingapproach......

And in a Multicrew torpbomber the Pilot was often supported by a crewman/copilot who told him speed And height!


These Ju88 modifications for "easternfront" Planes were usefull because the Lotfe bombsight And the divebrakes were not needed in the more commen lower level kind of operations they flew. And if there was a mission about Levelbombing the Units always still had some Ju88 without the 20mm canons but with Lotfe that acted as leadbombers than
But the time of steap dives was over anyway... the plane got heavier and heavier and the AAA was much to dangerous. Swallow dives were what was used than,and therefor no divebrakes were neide.
