The air intake of the compressor was located on the right side, the engine cooling system was modernized. Exhaust pipes received flame arresters. The Ju 88G-6 was faster than the Ju 88G-1 by 40 km / h. Like the Ju 88G-1. the aircraft had two ETC 500 bomb racks under the wings. The fuselage housed a FuG 16ZY radio station, under the left wing was a FuG 217 rear hemisphere radar antenna. Ju 88G-6 aircraft were armed with "Schrage musik" - MG 151/20 cannons. The guns were positioned asymmetrically, to the left (on early aircraft) or to the right (on aircraft of later releases). The ammunition capacity of the MG 15I / 20 cannons in the ventral nacelle was increased from 200 to 500 rounds per barrel. MG 131 was placed in the rear device. In addition to the FuG 220 SN-2 radar, new types of radars were installed on the aircraft: FuG 218 Neptun, FuG 350 Naxos Z and, at the end of the war, FuG 240 Berlin. It is worth talking about these radars in more detail. The most modern of these was the FuG 240 Berlin N-la. They managed to release only 25-30 copies.
