Getting the most out of a Junkers??

[KG26_Alpha]

In the Ju88 A4, there's a red horizon line around the cockpit this should not be exceeded for dive bombing.

In the ju-88 it appears that an old load out of 4 sc 250 and 20 sc 50 etc has been changed to add in 900kg of fuel, which should be more of a long range mission. Dive bombing in ju88 needs more height than a stuka or should i just use sc 250/sc 500? And are AB bombs best used from level flight or in a dive? Any ideas greatly appreciated as im reworking a 2006 ju88 campaign as well as a ju87 campaign.

Recommended minimum alt for AI dive bomb attack in the Stuka B2 D3 is 1850m in IL2 1946 high angle attack
Recommended minimum alt for AI dive bomb attack in the Stuka D5 Ju88 A4 2200m in IL2 1946 shallow angle attack

Post the mission here or pm to me and I'll have a look at it and see if it needs a tweak.
