Simple Junkers Ju 87 Stuka Bomber

23.7k Rymanx03  5.4 years ago

Am ugly, effective dive bomber used in WWII. In fact, it's the scariest. Back in 1939, during the invasion of Poland (a.k.a. The Defensive War), the Stuka was the most effective tool of war, using both physical and mental weapons. When it dived, the air rushing around the plane was used to start a wailing siren, which torn the unlucky victim's mental state to shreds. It was an ugly, easy to repair plane, and since this IS a replica, I had to add a few features to make this proper. That includes a singular bomb, as this is an early model of the plane. It also includes a rear-facing machine gun, activating on group 3 and both sliders. It has no front facing weapons, like the earlier models. This feature made it nearly impossible to protect actual bombers, unless the bombers flew in a zig-zag formation, reducing efficiency. So it's easier to control, I added a gyroscope, activating on Ag2, as an acting pilot while you shoot the attackers. It is very mobile friendly, and works well with my other replicas. Let me know in the comments if you have any more info you want to share, as I know I probably missed a fair bit.

    @NoahEvans thanks for the feedback. I have since updated this plane, as you'll find in my posts, or the successors page. It was a while back, but it is way more accurate and has the same things that you have added. But hey, once again, thanks for the feedback!

    Great job! I have modified it, and added a way to make it drop 4 other bombs simultaneously, as well as adding forward facing machine guns, but I have very much enjoyed flying this model. Once again, great job!
