Nice pictures, but the wing-over attack was never used with the Ju88 because of the great weight the plane accelerated too fast, wasn't nimble enough for quick corrections and was in danger to reach the structural limits.
The dive attack with the Ju88 was just a steep dive, usually not over 75°, initiated with a nose over from level flight.

Small glimpses of the future quality of simulators like this screenshot keep me buying bigger better faster more, even after 15 years of simulating, it is fun.

Thanks for that. I suppose it was a similar situation to the He 177?

Was there a similar problem with an allied bomber? Something in my brain says there was. But I'm probably wrong

Best Regards,

A couple of my shots at the "bull's eye".











And a couple of shots of "The wolf in sheep's clothing".













...And just a close shot of the tailwheel.. don't ask why

the real question is, does the tail wheel turn/rotate when you are on the ground ?

and does the thread on the other tires wear out over successive missions, in the same way that the skin paint weathers ? (would be nice if it did)
