Is there no bomb sight in the JU88c?

I am new to this plane and was wondering how to do level bombing. I tried vaious key combinations that are mapped to the bomb sight but nothing happens.

The Ju 88 C-6 doesn't have a bomb-aimers position, or a level-bombing sight. The level bombing versions (e.g. the A-4 that comes with Battle of Moscow) had glazed noses.

Also, the bombsight goes down through a periscope - with the optics at the front of the gondola (i.e. the thing with the central gunner in it). If you look on the A-4 you can actually see the lenses/glass.

 

However, in the C-6 there are two 20mm cannon barrels there! :)

 

So it isn't really the loss of glazing so much as the converting of the gondola to carry two out of your three cannons that is the problem!

C6 is a heavy fighter, it can carry bombs as a matter of convenience. One of the bays is a fuel tank instead.

Been meaning to ask... why does the A-4 and C-6 carry the same amount of fuel?  I thought in real life, the C-6 had more fuel capacity as one of it's bomb bays was converted to a fuel tank?  Or did they just put fuel there instead of in the wings?
