Hi there,

Considering the high number of aviation buffs in this forum I think it's the best place to get some clarification about the Ju-87.

I got a question about the 'Jericho Trumpets'. Is it true that the first version did not have an extra siren installed and that another part of the aircraft produced a siren like sound? If yes, which part was that? The airbrakes?

Cheers,

HL

You are right, the siren was limted to the B series had a small proppler that made the sound while diving but later on (at about B3 / B4 series) the germans found that the enemy had gotten used to it so they removed it. And made a smaller one that where on the bombs it self.

Does the JU-87 have the siren sound in the game? I really wish there was more use for this plane in the game, as it has always been one of my favorites....

I think I'll try it in strike mode. Wish it had a cockpit. ;)

Simply, Fear.

The Siren is sometimes attributed to Ernst Udet, who suggested it as a psych weapon. They sure sound good.

They should add the dive siren to the Stuka in the game. I see that they have added a 90 degree dive indicator ( a grey circle that appears on the ground, not the bomb aiming reticle, you put the bomb aiming reticle in it for a proper diving attack). I was a bit disappointed when I did my first dive bombing in the Stuka and it never made that iconic noise.

I agree, I too hope they add the siren and missed it when I went a dive bombing, loved the gull winged Stuka, such a macho looking plane
