Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • turret with high fire rate
  • Airbrakes
  • Customizable armament consist of 250kg , 500kg and 1000kg bombs
  • High maximum dive speed for its tier

Cons:

  • Pretty slow speed
  • Poor rate of climb
  • Bad energy retention
  • Poor performance while equipped with 1,000 kg bomb
  • Can carry only one bomb at a time
  • loses a lot of speed when turning

History

The Ju-87 R-2 Libya belonged to  St.G 2 and was used off the Libyan coast in Timimi to attack Allied ships in the Mediterranean. It was flown by Leutenant Hubert Pölz of 6./St.G 2 and participated in the sinking of HMS Auckland off Tobruk in June 1941. The markings designate the plane as the fourth plane in the sixth Staffel of the second Gruppe in Sturzkampfgeschwader 2.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
