The aircraft is ncluded in UI 1.1.
Here is the readme
Historical background:
======================
Waiting for the especially built torpedo 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 meshes by Jippo for inner wings with racks, propellers and spinners
- New armament (1xMGFF 20mm with 360 rounds in the nose, controlled by the pilot)
- New cockpit: Lofte bombsight deleted, Stuvi gunsight replaced by Revi, added MGFF Gun and torpedo regulation box (these latter by Jippo), deleted dive lines, new circular window on engine cowling, for engine gauges, new bombardier position (near torpedo box)
- New gunner figures in external view
- Completely new DM: Ju88A-4/Torp is not a "paper plane" like stock Ju.88, it has armour, spars, internal fuel and oil tanks, complete damage model for engines.
- New torpedoes: LTW (Italian model, Whitehead Fiume) and LTF5B, each with a new mesh and skin
- Also Practice torpedo available, this is a dummy torpedo (with very low charge), with distinguishing red/white stripes, used for training. IT'S A DUMMY TORPEDO, DO NOT TAKE IT FOR WAR MISSIONS !
- Torpedoes can be dropped one at a time or at the same time
- Available loadouts:
- Default
- 1x LTW Torpedo
- 2x LTWTorpedo (salvo) ==> Torpedoes are dropped together at the same time (recommended for AI)
- 2x LTWTorpedo (spread) ==>> Torpedoes are dropped one at a time
- 1x LF5B Torpedo
- 2x LTF5B (salvo) ==> Torpedoes are dropped together at the same time (recommended for AI)
- 2x LTF5B (spread) ==>> Torpedoes are dropped one at a time
- 2x Practice Torpedo (spread) ==>> Torpedoes are dropped one at a time
- Empty
Features of new torpedoes:
==========================
These torpedoes have a more realistic model than standard IL-2 torpedoes. Safe drop height is increased to about 160m. Dropping from slightly higher height can fail depending on aircraft speed. Dropping From much higher height will fail.
Torpedoes need a course of about 5 seconds to stabilize their course in water. Dropping too close will cause the torpedo to pass under the ship and fail to explode.
Torpedoes will have random malfunctions (premature explosion, dud, engine failure). A total of about 13% failures is to be expected on all torpedoes.
