4.13 development update discussion and feedback

[Baddington_VA]

what exactly is a ju88a5 late, im at the wikipedia level for my basic data since all my squadron books got water damaged years ago. And P-1 is a 75mm gun attack plane, C series is heavy fighters?

Found some references to the JU88 types.

The Ju88A5 series had a greater wingspan and larger bombload capacity than the A4. Because of this it was slower than the A4.
Can't find a description of a late A5, but usually it's an adaptation to overcome the performance shortcomings of the regular model.
The A5 is also depicted as having an extra forward MG in the nose glazing.

The A6 is depicted as carrying balloon cable cutting device across the front.
It is described as unwieldy.

Im not sure, but I think this isnt correct.

A5 late = A4, but with weaker engines, and weaker defensive armament (MG-15 instead of MG81)
A5 early is the same, but without armored glass for the rear gunners.

Somewhere between A1 and A5, 6 feet of wingspan has been added to the Ju88.
unfortunately it doesn't say exactly when.

The early A models had shorter wings and the A-4 redesigned them with added length. The A-5 was a stopgap model introduced when the A-4s engine developed problems in the early stages so the A-5 was effectively somewhere between an A-1 and a A-4... apparently the longer wingspan lead to better handling and so it was liked better than the A-1.
