At the start of World War II, the Junkers 87-B dive bomber was the Nazi's first mass-produced fighter aircraft, already perfected in the Spanish Civil War and ready to take on the French, British, and later, the Red Army. Nicknamed the Stuka (from the German word for "dive bomber"), the Junkers 87-B would become the iconic Nazi warplane.Based on historic events during the Battle of Stalingrad, this single player campaign puts you in the seat of the infamous German dive bomber - the Stuka. With sirens roaring take part in high altitude dive bombing missions and conduct close air support missions to assist ground forces along the front. Fly in formation as a wingman and eventually claim flight lead and take command of your own
Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) Since I love to prove people wrong. I can tell you that you can take off with 100% fuel + armor plates on sides, dive siren and 1800 KG bomb. And you don't even need a very long airfield for that, you can still use the gras before and behind the airfield if needed.
Does anybody know if the sirens mounted on the undercarriage of the Stuka were left on throughout all models and if so did the pilots bother to use them, particularly towards the end of the war. Had they lost their demoralizing effect by then? Also, would be interested too hear a ground test of the siren, i.e not in the usual power-dive scenario.
