Lol! If you only need 10 minutes to locate them correctly adjusting the coordinates, you're good or you tell me the trick, cause it took me more than that for the 190s 

Well firstly you need a kinda mathematical mind so you can think straight even though you see lots of random numbers XD
Then what I normally do is add 1 or subtract 1 to the 3 numbers to see what that does.
Using whole numbers/integers first and then using halves and quarters.
So you may get 1.5525
Once you're very close you just add 1 here and stuff... oh and remember 1 unit = 1 meter so you can visually think how far that is say that's around 5 cm off so you add or subtract 0.05 to whatever you're doing... Pips really, oh and just keep hitting refly again after you change it everytime. No need to restart il2. Also my wings fold so it's a bit easier to do it for this plane rather than having your wing shot off or whatever you needed to do to check that your mesh was in the right place on the 190

Thank you ! Good work !

Is torpedo version possible?

Is torpedo version possible? 

Although this mod is partly fictional, I don't think the stuka is the type of plane to use torpedoes. After all the stuka is a dive bomber and that's how it attacked ships, like the SBD, D3A1. They didn't use torpedoes either as far as I know. None of the other stuka variants carried a torpedo so I won't be putting a torpedo on it unless you can find me some information on stukas carrying torpedoes.

Well, of course it was not production version, because Zeppelin was never finished
http://www.vectorsite.net/avstuka.html : A "Ju-87E" torpedo-bomber was considered, but was cancelled after Germany gave up work on aircraft carriers in early 1943.
 Ju-87D-4: Land-based torpedo-bomber conversion of Ju-87D-3, not used operationally, all converted back to original Ju-87D-3 specification.
Ju-87E: Carrier-based torpedo-bomber variant, never flew.

[Ranwers]

Interesting - thanks.

Well perhaps I shall look into making a Ju-87E with the D as a base or I'll keep the current base.

I like this early type stuka best myself so this one i keep thx
Thank you for the effort making this and for sharing

why not use the existing German torpedo bomber? Fw190 A-5 U14 modification of the aircraft carrier

lol, A 190 that is a carrier plane would be interesting. It doesn't really have the right handling characteristics for carrier ops though.... The gears are like so brittle and snap so easily, the low speed handling sucks.... but perhaps I could make a fictional 190 that would be a carrier version if people want..... Probably would need catapult to get off though and well landing the majority probably won't get down XD

Anyone want a carrier ops Fw-190? We have 109s, stukas I guess you should also have a 190 to complete the gaps lol

[F22-Raptor-2006]

We already have 2 Fw190 "anton" type  carrier-modified (A4-T and F9-T) about to release... I don't think it would be wise to have one more just for the torpedo. The F9-T will have torpedos among a *very* large loadout choice list..

If I ever decide to add one extra anton it will have to be *very* different from the A5U14 to be worth of a slot, say with more powerfull engine, 4-bladed propeller and Ta-152 type of tail.

Perhaps a Ta-152H-1 with folding wings? XD

[F22-Raptor-2006]

Ah, so that's what you meant by the 190 ones XD

How bout you do me new pivot points for the Ta-152H-1 wings (I need to figure out how I'm gonna have them fold first perhaps like the seafire double jointed...), and I'll do the rest XD

Or

A german jet XD
