BR2 -> BR1 for the Ju-87 B-2

The Ju-87 B-2 is unfortunately stuck in a purgatory or uselessness. Compared to the other 2 Stukas at BR2 it has noticeably worse armaments than both of them, lacking the 20mm cannons of the D-5 and the 500kg bomb of the R-2.

The simple solution is to move it to BR1. Both its flight performance and armaments are very comparable to the Potez, Germany’s current BR1 attack aircraft. It would be able to offer some variety at BR1, especially for those who appreciate the iconicism of the Stuka.

Fun fact, it was the entry attacker plane in Moscow if I remember well.

I don’t know if it should be in br1 or br2 thought. I don’t really mind :thinking:

It was indeed the first attacker while hs 123 was the first fighter. Poor germans had to face the indestructible Il-2 with only 7.92mm machineguns. First bf 109s were unlocked at level 20 or something

Not just that, do you remember planes 20mm guns were broken and did almost no damage to other planes?

IL could just keep circling around while 109 mosquitoes tried to pepper them. Only way to succeed was divinh from the top, while focusing on one wing or the IL pilot.

Even still… I liked the campaign. Was cool (when highest lvl were T28 and pz4)

ngl, even if it was BR1 i still wouldnt use it cus i suck with planes

best decision gaijin can do is to become the most HA game out there by giving germany all the iconic things in br1: stug3a, stuka (this weak version fits perfectly), kar98k & a moderately nerfed mp38.
only thing missing would be the high BR weapons which obv dont fit into br1, but all of this does.

same thing can be done with the japs. only americans & soviets are hard to fill br1 with lots of iconic stuff as almost all of it is br3 or higher.
