Ju-87 Stuka

597 Swanchise16  8.1 years ago

The infamous German divebomber, the Ju-87 Stuka. I tried to make it as realistic as possible for the aesthetics, bomb load/firepower, and speed/engine power. The only trouble is taking off and landing: the gear tends to want to make the plane yaw one way or another. You can try to counter this by pitching up quickly on takeoff, and landing at slower speeds and not braking, but otherwise it can be very challenging! Leave a comment for a plane for me to build!
