    Milviz JU87 D & G " Stuka " Released
    Dave
    By Dave,
    The Junkers Ju-87 D.5/G.2 Stuka The Junkers Ju 87 or Stuka (from Sturzkampfflugzeug, "dive bomber") was a two-man (pilot and rear gunner) Geman dive bomber and ground-attack aircraft. Designed by Hermann Pohlmann, the Stuka first flew in 1935 and made its combat debut in 1936 as part of the Luftwaffe's Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War. The aircraft was easily recognisable by its inverted gull wings, fixed spatted undercarriage and its infamous Jericho-Trompete ("Jericho Trumpet") wailing siren, becoming the propaganda symbol of German air power and the blitzkrieg victories of 1939–1942. The Stuka's design included several innovative features, including automatic pull-up dive brakes under both wings to ensure that the aircraft recovered from its attack dive even if the pilot blacked out from the high acceleration. Although sturdy, accurate, and very effective against ground targets, the Ju 87 was vulnerable to modern fighter aircraft, like many other dive bombers of the war. Its flaws became apparent during the Battle of Britain; poor manoeuvrability and a lack of both speed and defensive armament meant that the Stuka required heavy fighter escort to operate effectively. The Stuka operated with further success after the Battle of Britain, and its potency as a precision ground-attack aircraft became valuable to German forces in the Balkans Campaign, the African and Mediterranean theaters and the early stages of the Eastern Front campaigns where Soviet fighter resistance was disorganised and in short supply. Once the Luftwaffe had lost air superiority on all fronts, the Ju 87 once again became an easy target for enemy fighter aircraft. In spite of this, because there was no better replacement, the type continued to be produced until 1944. By the end of the conflict, the Stuka had been largely replaced by ground-attack versions of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, but was still in use until the last days of the war. An estimated 6,500 Ju 87s of all versions were built between 1936 and August 1944. (source Wikipedia with edits and additions) High Performance and Packed with Features!

    DCS World 23 Aug 2013 News Update
    Dave
    By Dave,
    Due to the summer holidays and Gamescon, not much new news to pass along this week. The team is mostly focused on getting the 1.2.6 open beta ready (it is basically in alpha testing now internally). For those that wish to participate in the open beta, we hope these open betas will benefit checking bug fixes in 1.2.6 like more stable network play in particular. The team has also been busy supporting BST with the upcoming beta release DCS: Mi-8MTV2, working on the new flight dynamics for the Su-27S and F-15C, and continued work on engine code.
