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
