It's time for the Ju 87 D-5!

[III./SG77-R_Lehmann]

Not to mention the 20mm cannons for the D-5. Yesterday we flew with a formation of 12 Stuka's (D-3's). I can tell you that those 7.62mm machine guns can't do a single f*** against Tempests. I have recordings that I had solid hits on it (I chased the Tempest in the hope to damage it, so he would go away), but it didn't do anything.

Edit: Or the 7.62 can't anything at all against aluminum constructed aircraft. With some luck you get a Lagg-3 smoking or something. Which is made out of wood.

Valid point!

Olthough, I shot down occasionally enemy planes down with the forward armament, not only in the air-, but also in the ground-section the 20mm's would be a nice addition and making us CAS pilots more versitile!

 

Now we get the romanian fighter IAR 80/81 - production amount (source wiki) - 436

Junkers 87 - D5 variant - production amount (source wiki) - 1488

 

Not that the romanian fighter is not welcome'd... ...just saying

My guess is that if they wouldn´t be so limited with ressources, they would produce collector planes as if there is no tomorrow. There are so many single pieces for the already existing modules still missing: Ju87-B2/R2, Ju87-D5, Henschel Hs-123, I-153, early Yak-1, early LaGG-3, Yak-7B (bubble top), Do-217 E and K, A-20G, Spitfire LF-IX (43/44 version) and propably a ton more.
