[6S.Maraz]

Historical background:
======================
Waiting for the especially built version, later known as A-17, some seventy
already built Ju-88A-4 were reworked to made them able to carry torpedoes and replace older He-111H-6s.
Prototype flew in mid 1941, but they were ready for use only almost a year later.

Main modifications from original Ju-88A-4 model were:
- New inner wings with PVC-1000B torpedo racks instead of regular twin ETC bomb racks;
- Fairing for the LT-Anlage torpedo launching device on right side of the nose;
- New fixed MG under the nose, often carried by this version and other anti-ship German bombers.
- Removing of Lofte bombsight and dive brakes

Features of new aircraft:
=========================
- New aircratf meshes for wing racks and LT-Anlage
- New armament (1xMGFF 20mm with 360 rounds in the nose, controlled by the pilot)
- New cockpit mesh (Lofte bombsight deleted)
- New gunner figures in external view
- New bombardier position (kneeled) for better forward visibility
- Torpedoes can be dropped one at a time or at the same time
- Available loadouts:

• - Default
  - 1xTorpedo
  - 2xTorpedo (salvo) ==> Torpedoes are dropped together at the same time (recommended for AI)
  - 2xTorpedo (spread) ==>> Torpedoes are dropped one at a time
  - Empty (politically correct loadout )

Prerequisites:
==============
This mod needs the Fw.190A-5/U-14 mod for the LT5-F torpedo (this mod is included in the AAA Unified Installer)

Known limitations:
==================
- Dive brake is still operative
(this needs a FM change and will be fixed in the final release,)
