Junkers 88

The Junkers 88 is a German heavy dive/vertical bomber and heavy/night fighter aircraft. It served from 1939 to the end of the war between 1945 and 1951 in France. In the game, only the heavy fighter variants appear.

Description
The Junkers Ju 88 is a German multi-role aircraft and one of the most versatile aircraft used by the German Luftwaffe. It was built to serve as a heavy dive bomber, tactical bomber, torpedo bomber, reconnaissance aircraft and heavy-/night fighter aircraft, with its design solely to trick enemy fighters into seeing it as a bomber.

Like every normal German heavy fighter, the Ju 88 has 2 engines and armed with two nose-mounted machine guns and two in the aft and belly.

Behaviour
The Ju 88 will often try and get up and personal, behind your Bomber, which might down your rear gunner if allowed to remain in place for too long.

The best way to dispatch the Ju 88 is to use your Rear Gunner's focus skill and provide them with the best protection to maximize their chances when engaging with an attacking Ju 88.

Appearance
The Junkers 88 has, like the Dornier Do 217, a quite unique appearance. Its cupola is very distinctive, being different from the Do 217. It has two engines and is usually painted green.
