You'd probably be also shocked that the main ground attack aircraft used by the RAF in 1944/45 was the Spitfire IX.  |
Slower and worse accelerating than a JU-87? I only referred to this comparison and I know that the Spit is not really fast.
I'm not shocked at all, and you will agree that a JU-87 is a better bomber than a Spitfire
