Junkers Ju-287 Super Stuka
For MAHADI's Luftwaffe Challenge. In 1943 the German Eastern Front was looking worse everyday, and the old Stukas were starting to show their age. The Luftwaffe decided to ask the Junkers factory to design a new decendent to the old Stuka, hence the Ju-287 Super Stuka is born. A more powerful engine allows the Super Stuka to carry more weight and power, like 3 forward firing cannons, and it kept the amazing diving ability and the trapese of the old Stuka. The tail was also changed to allow the tail gunner to shoot straight behind him, although the fixed landing gear stayed for the drag while diving, and the robust and durable design of it. VTOL up will open the dive flaps and lower the bomb trapese (be sure to be pulling up on the stick a little bit so the bomb doesn't hit the plane), AG1 will let the yaw control the tail gun, and deactivating AG8 will lock the tail wheel in place.
