Juicy info about our beloved junkers 52 !

[Neil]

Ok folks, look at what I just found!

Historically The ju52/3m was fited with a mg15 then later a more powerful mg131, 

 

I thought we will get only a mg15, but, look at that lovely official picture on the store (pay attention to the dorsal turret)

 

And look at the picture of the He111 (pay attention to the dorsal turret)

Is it the same gun??

NO of course!     

On the he111, this is a mg131 not an mg15 as we might expect (or I missed an info!)

Here is the mg131 fitted in the he111 (which we will get in the Battle of Kuban by the way)

 

 

Looks like the same gun..or not?

 

So on conclusion, I would say

 

COME ON FIGHTERS!!   

hahaha sure it will be fun!

 

(of course I might be wrong, but lets make some suspense!)

It sure looks like the MG131 however if you look on the DD with wip pictured of the gunner station, there are MG15 magazines fitted and the model we already have ingame uses the MG15 so its unlikely that we get the MG131 however it would be nice

[Asgar]

well, the AI version doesn't have modifications. I'm sure we'll get the MG 131, but maybe we get it when the He 111 H-16 is being developed and the MG 131 for it

[Neil]

Thanks for your answer guys! 

so it might be a mod, or not... It would be fantastic if it would be a mod

 

Anyway, I love those drawings the dev made for each individual plane.

[6./ZG26_McKvack]

As Asgar said, if we dont get the MG131 together with the Ju-52 but it appears later with the He-111 H16, I think it would be possible that it could be added to the Ju-52 as well. Same as the 88 old 111 will probably get access to torpedoes as well as soon they appear with Kuban. 

 

Then again, the Ju-52 pic sure looks like the MG131 so its possible.

you can put 4 x 131mgs on that thing...still won't stop me from shooting it down.....now with the belly being exposed, or via headon attack or flank attack.

[Sokol1]

 With mg15 or  mg131 you are already dead if intercepted.    

 

 

[Jade_Monkey]

I hope its the 131.

 

PS: Love the title!

So I guess we just have to bump into fighters to shoot them down?

Excellent!
