its a 20mm MG-FF, a very common modification on Ju88s on the easternfront !
like in the ingame Torpedo Ju88s , very they are unfortunatly almost senseless (in game !)

i realy wish for a new Ju88 variant , perhaps called "Ju88A-4 mod", with such a MG-FF in the nose (means also NO Lotfe !) , no divebrakes (they were often removed) and overworked bombloadout options (get rid of these 18 and 28 SC50 loadouts, in game only the second bombbay is working. and that carried 10 SC50).
The Cockpit, if im not totaly wrong, could be the same as the torp Ju88

Such equipted Ju88 were VERY common at the easternfront !

I am curious. Given the new torpedo restrictions w/speed, why would it be an "improvement" to have the divebrake removed from the A-17 model? Anybody?

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.

Allow me to sound stupid (I'm good at it). I was looking at the QMB and went straight to the option which I understood was being included, where a player could have 32 v 32 aircraft. I only see 4 aircraft per slot, so a total of 16 v 16, which is what was already there?

Did the feature not get in, or is it still being worked on?

Just asking for clarity, cheers, MP

You should have a Next button in the right bottom corner. It leads to another window where you can set additional 4 flights per each side.

Thank you, I was just expecting a drop-down of 8, not 4....damn that pesky 'Next' button!

On the bottom right corner you'll see a button called "Next"
