1CGS Han Posted March 11, 2016 1CGS Posted March 11, 2016 125 Hello everyone! Today we'll show a bit of Ju 88 A-4. The plane is shaping up and it turns out to be an interesting one. First, it has a rich instruments array. Second, it can carry a huge bomb load, almost as heavy as He 111, but Ju 88 is actually a dive bomber, thus it can deliver its bombs with significantly better accuracy. Third, there are interesting engineering decisions that appear in our sim for a first time, for example, radial radiators positioning around engines or significant armor protecting the gunners. Fourth, this bomber can carry up to 44 50 kg bombs, no other plane in the sim can carry so many. Fifth, unlike He 111 H-6, its turrets are armed with MG-81 belt fed machine guns with high rate of fire that allow a thicker defensive fire curtain. ............................................

Voidhunger Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the news! I hope that someday will we have constant 60 fps in all situations. Its wonderful ! Edited March 11, 2016 by Voidhunger
Blooddawn1942 Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Aargh! You´re are killing us with teasing the Ju 88!!! I really really can´t wait to get my hands on this one!
216th_Lucas_From_Hell Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 The Junkers is a beauty, congratulations on the work with the cockpit, gunner stations and overall model. Can't wait to meet it in the skies! For the fighter bunch, this may be of interest: In addition, last week our engineers tested the planes turn time and climb rate, so we updated the Dev Diary #123 with the corrected data. Fw 190 flight model was also corrected (thanks to [i.B.]ViRUS for his cool finding of additional Fw 190 A-4 Lift-Drag curves) so its turn tume and climb rate correspond to the reference better.
fergal69 Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Looks great. Possibly the best created JU88 of all flight sims? 1
WWChunk Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Yep, the Ju88 looks GREAT! Interested to see how the Würger handles as well.
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Looks great. Possibly the best created JU88 of all flight sims? Easilly. 3
II./JG77_Manu* Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Fw 190 flight model was also corrected (thanks to [i.B.]ViRUS for his cool finding of additional Fw 190 A-4 Lift-Drag curves) so its turn tume and climb rate correspond to the reference better. I guess no further commenting needed
6./ZG26_5tuka Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Ju-88 teases in mass and promotions about Fw-190 fixes - they're definetly hitting a nerve with this one! Great news and very nice looking cockpit indeed. Love how flipping the gunner's seat is incoperated into the starting sequence
Freycinet Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Whoa, when the Junkers lets go of that bomb load it looks almost like a B-52 over Vietnam... "Fw 190 flight model was also corrected (thanks to [i.B.]ViRUS for his cool finding of additional Fw 190 A-4 Lift-Drag curves) so its turn tume and climb rate correspond to the reference better." - IBVirus must be right chuffed, great contribution and well done to the devs for crediting him. It shows that they take account of well-informed and constructive contributions. Edited March 11, 2016 by Freycinet 6

SOLIDKREATE Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 I can't wait to get my hands all over that Ju-88! I hope it has the torpedo field mod for the ships.
150GCT_Veltro Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 No words really...... Ju-88 is absolutely amazing!!!!!
LLv24_Zami Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Wow, looking great! Once again! Great work team
216th_Lucas_From_Hell Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Considering the Junkers had all those bombs under the wings I thought it was weird when the bomb bays opened, and expected some 4-8 bombs to drop from there. But they kept falling... and falling... and falling... Looks fun to fly
Asgar Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 thanks for those amazing pictures! can't wait to fly it myself
Jade_Monkey Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Wow!! Looks great, loved the engine sound from the cockpit (although just watched the video on my phone with bad headphones. Desktop should sound even better). Those guns look like they could tear your soul apart if you approach low from 6 o'clock. Are they similar to the stuka but higher ammo capacity? I think im going to fly this one a lot!!

A-E-Hartmann Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Whoua Really very beautiful Ju-88 .can not wait .
Jade_Monkey Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 How are the top guns going to work? Switching from one to the other, or can we use them simultaneously, sort of like in BF1942?
Gunsmith86 Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Great looking Ju 88 Is it possible to get ammunition into the chute that guides the ammo belt from the can to the MG 81 of the Ju 88 and Ju 87? In game Ju 87 MG81Z with empty ammunition chute marked with red colour Real MG 81Z with ammunition in the chute. Ju 88 Gunner just shooting the last few rounds from the MG 81. The ammunition chute is now empty. 1
I./JG1_Baron Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 ehm... about Ju-88 only one thing - WOW! Phantastic work dev team, I'm impressed. Keep in good work.
Yazh-29 Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Outstanding job. Very impressive, I can not wait!

Well done for coming through in the end. But next time..... please there must be an easier way Edited March 11, 2016 by kendo
I./JG1_Deschain Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Every DD im waiting for announcement of new expansion :D still Ju88 is certainly not disapointing
HagarTheHorrible Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 I wonder how much height it gains when it drops it's payload. If, for example, you where in formation and the lead aircraft dropped it's bomb load before you, would he suddenly shoot up 500 feet ? I assume it would make even more of a mess of bombing accuracy by the time the last bomb left the rack, not a that anything in the 1940's was what we might consider even reasonable by todays standards for dumb bombs.
6./ZG26_Gielow Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Can someone translate 190 changes ?? Does it mean increase or decrease in performance??
silvergun Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Very nice job, amazing attention to detail on Ju 88
kendo Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Can someone translate 190 changes ?? Does it mean increase or decrease in performance?? Only one I'm certain of is Climb rate at 6000 m which has been increased from 9.5m/s to 10.1 m/s
Finkeren Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Very, very nice modeling work. Really captures the spirit of that amazing piece of machinery, and the cockpit is just a treasure trove of detail work. Unlike in ClOD I really think you get a feeling of just how cramped that pit was. One question: Why is there a ReVi gun sight in the pilot's position? I was under the impression, that the Ju 88 would have no fixed forward firing armament. Is it simply a stand-in for a proper StuVi? 2

You are describing it as if the Ju88 behaved like a hot air balloon. Not making much sense to me.
II./JG77_Manu* Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Can someone translate 190 changes ?? Does it mean increase or decrease in performance?? increase in climb rate and better turn time climb rate at 0m is now not too far away from the Yak. If we consider that the Yak in game has a very high performing model as source, that seems legit. Edited March 11, 2016 by II./JG77_Manu*

I was under the impression, that the Ju 88 would have no fixed forward firing armament. Is it simply a stand-in for a proper StuVi? IIRC the forward gun can be fired by the pilot in fixed position or by the gunner when released…

I assume it would make even more of a mess of bombing accuracy by the time the last bomb left the rack, not a that anything in the 1940's was what we might consider even reasonable by todays standards for dumb bombs. It would not "suddenly shoot up", but upon releasing the bombs, the Ju 88 would lose as much as 20% of its weight, so if it was flying straight and level at the time of release, it would definately immediately start to climb and accelerate, but propably not more than could be countered by a quick trimming. IIRC the forward gun can be fired by the pilot in fixed position or by the gunner when released… But did they really install a complete ReVi just for that incredibly minor feature?
