Ju-87 Wheelbrakes are to weak compared to other wheelbrakes. I've tested it extensively, all the other german planes can hold themselves with 100% wheelbare and 100% throttle and prop picth, but Stukas begin to roll with 100% brakes 15% throttle and 100% pitch. Also differential brakes have almost no effect on turning. With other german aircraft you can turn 180° almost at the same place, even with non differential engine controlls (the Bf-109 also can) just with using the differential wheelbrakes and rudder. In Stukas you can't even perform a 90° turn in 100 meter.
