Further Info:  after Chriss Goss, bloody Biscaya:  at least one JU-88G1 Deytroyer flew over the Biscaya Daylight sorties. (one is listet as lost 1944).  Off course she had no  Torpedoes or rockets as wepons.    ????

I think your getting your wires crossed mate, the JU-88 G1 was a nightfighter so would not have carried bombs or rockets, it was basically the JU-88 G6 we have from Sputnikshock but with BMW rather than Jumo engines.

No wires crossed mate !    As I wrote (if You reade my post) they had of course NO bombs, Torpedos or rockets !


But one JU-88G1 2N+BL  of 3/ZG1 was lost on 7. January 1944 north of Caen. Crew Strobel, Schneider, Dressler.  Together with JU-88R2 !!!

At least one whole staffel of KG.40 used Ju-88R2 Destroyers. I found text and Pics about the JU-88R2 in "Bloody Biscaya and "Die deutsche Luftwaffe, Zerstörer und Nachtjagdverbände Band II und III, Michael Meyer + Paul Stipdonk, VDM-Verlag.   Thats only for the guys who Thing the Ju-88R was only used as Nightfighter too ?   

These were the first evidence I found that these Versions were in day-use too. The explication is that the Luftwaffe looked after a solution against the Beaufighters and the Mosquitos over the Bay.

I prefer to find my Infos in extracts of official documents (p.ex. loss lists) and not on the Internet

Cheers

Doc


BTW. Initially the Ju-88G1 had Bomb-attaching-points too but the need for Nightfighters was higher !

My mistake, i thought the    emoticon was refering to the plane not carrying rockets or torpedos. I to prefer official documents, the internet links were just an easy way to explain what i thought.

Really fun to fly, so its not totally historically accurate but who cares? As an opponent I find this model very difficult to kill. A Mk VI Mossie has enough ammo to do the job. I'm not the best shot but I find that with with a lot of other aircraft I run out before finishing the target off, in comparison to other JU88 models. Has this model been created with a higher protection rating?

Found the Ju-88 Gun sight Bug.



Did Somebody fix the Gun sight. Thanks.
