Hi there,

Is it possible to make a mod replacing the stuvi of the stuka D5 by the revi of the stuka D3 ?

In my own opinion,it will be more accurate as i don't think that german still have used stuka for mid alt diving attack at the period where the D5 came to the front. Indeed if they had 20mm gun to the stuka it was more to straff and level bombing or low alt diving attacking.

What's your opinion on the subject ? And is it possible ?

Thanks for the effort all made for those mods and the great community.

P.S.:Sorry for my english...

honestly i think that it would be considered a cheat, because it can aid aiming

but it is my opinion. you may disagree with me :wink:

[EnigmuS]

To me cheating as nothing to do with accuracy.

Cheating would have been to completly remove the stuvi what i've ask is to put the same revi as stuka d3 that mean no cheat at all (is the correct revi mod of fw190 is a cheat to you ? or all mod relative to sight and reticle ?)

Anymore than the K-14 gunsight's added to the Spits or 47's...?

Enigmus, this might sound a bit pissy, but is there historical accounts to support it? If so then there could be no problem doing it = being a historical change...

"Since the Stuka had undergone the "weight creep" that typically afflicts combat aircraft over their evolution, its wing loading had become unacceptable, and in early 1943 production moved on in turn to the "Ju-87D-5", which featured distinctive "pointed" extended wingtips to improve handling, as well as the jettisonable landing gear developed for the Ju-87C series. The dive brakes were deleted after initial Ju-87D-5 production since it was used almost exclusively in the schlacht role. The two forward-firing MG-17 machine guns were also replaced with twin MG-151/20 20 millimeter cannon."

Clearly on the picture we can see a standard revi :


another one but we can hardly state about the stuvi or the revi :


Also about Ju88 : "With a quite advanced Stuvi dive-bomb sight, accuracy remained very good for its time. There was also another sight used for level bombing missions."

No one interested ?

Can i do the modification by myself ? how can i do ? (map the D3 cockpit to the D5 one i presume).

[RealDarko]

Can we jetison the LG on game? And how they land after jetisson the gear?

[EnigmuS]

LG is not jetissonable in the game.

This feature was made for emergency case or when a landing gear was already missing so that they can land much more easily than with only one LG standing.
