Ju87-B2 Information Card
 

Hey 1C Forumites,

In anticipation of IL2: Cliffs of Dover's upcoming release, I decided to assemble a pilot's quick-reference sheet for one of my favorite aircraft, the Ju87. As a pilot in real life, it bothers me (to some mild extent) when sims fail to release reference information for use during flight.

The following Information Card includes such pertinent information as Vspeeds, engine load limitations, and a cruise chart as well as a variety of other pieces of information imperative to pilots of any aircraft. All information on this sheet was derived and translated from a real Ju87 POH from 1941 by me and the occasional help of Google Translate. Please feel free to download, share and distribute this guide if you find it useful or in any way promising. I have included an email in the subtext where you can reach me so I can fix any errors that come up in the following few weeks before release.

Thanks and hope you all enjoy! I will be cross-posting this on several forums so sorry if you see this post a couple times -- I just want to share it with as many groups as possible.

Also, I might be interested in compiling more of these sheets for other aircraft, depending on interest level.

Wow, that's some excellent work. I'd love to have all the flyable aircraft done in a similar fashion.

Pretty good indeed.

Excellent job. I can't wait for CoD just to see knowledge like this finally meaning something in a prop-era combat sim.

Very good. Something like that would be very useful.


Do we know what version of the JU87 we will be getting in COD?

Cheers!

Yes, as I noted, I did get the information from the book itself (including that page, which features the cruise chart) -- I'm not sure what you're implicating here, haha.

Woha ... that's definitely getting laminated tomorrow at work

Nice job mate, and thx for sharing

Cheers

Very nice, I'd definitely be interested in more of these! I need all the help I can get.

Thanks for putting this together! :)

Nice work!

Many thanks.

I would love this for every flyable in COD




In real life Stukas often dive bombed without using dive breaks, mainly if enemy fighters were near!

A big thank you from me, too. I always wanted pilot's notes for the aircraft I flew in IL-2 1946 but I couldn't find them all. If you can compile for other aircraft too, please do.

I have a large library of documents for various WW2 aircraft but most of them are technical documents for servicing aircraft systems rather than pilot's notes. I'll add anything I pick up here to my collection. I'll also look into publishing my library (It is in Google Docs) if people are interested. Most items don't have any copyright anymore so there shouldn't be too much problems.

My flight-sim nerd urge desires the following for IL2:CoD. Maybe a downloadable 'kit' of sorts can be compiled by our community some time?

1. Pilot's Notes for the aircraft flown (if German, then translated into English, printed and laminated).

2. Period map (my collector's edition pre-order was cancelled, so I'll have to settle for the normal version. Have to find a map some other way).

3. Period newspapers, tabloids, radio broadcasts, music. I had this for "Silent Hunter IV" and it was superbly immersive and educational to see the kind of news/media people back then actually saw. Watched/read in-between or during missions, on the correct date of a campaign.

Very nice!

Any chance more of these comming for other aircraft?
CoD is really lacking in the information department...

+1

Thank you very much, IL2 Docs.
I’m also a pilot, and I never fly a real plane without such information.
This should be definitely the standard for any flyable plane!

Nice, thank you! The Stuka is my personal favorite as well. :D
