History:
The Junkers Ju 87C was a carrier-based dive bomber developed for the German Navy in 1938–1939 and entered service in 1940. It was a naval modification of the Ju 87B Stuka, designed for precision attacks against naval targets. Key modifications included foldable wings, reinforced landing gear, and a tailhook for carrier operations. -
Why It Should Be in Game:
The Ju 87C brings a unique naval dive-bombing role to the game. Its carrier capabilities, accurate dive-bombing, and historical significance make it distinct from standard Ju 87 variants. Players can experience carrier operations and precision strikes, adding depth to naval aviation gameplay. -
