ju-87 dive recovery

[Plague, M.D.]

Tried searching but didn’t find anything. Link if already discussed please. Im new to BoS, played some IL-2 Sturmovik. I’m having issues with the ju-87 auto dive and recovery system not working. Is it a mod like the sirens? I have the air brakes and the siren mapped to the same button, I’ll drop the throttle and hit the air brakes and they deploy and the siren comes on but the plane does not roll over I have to manually roll and dive like normal as well as the plane does not auto recover after bomb release. Any help appreciated.

It's simply not modelled in-game.

It was option that could ve removed in real-life. Devs did not make it in game, but it's something they may add in the future

Ah okay thanks. I know many pilots removed them because they didn’t like the predictable flight path it caused but it’s a shame it’s not an option in the modifications. Hopefully it will be added in.

H, I am re-reading "Memoirs of a Stuka pilot by Helmut Mahlke. He states they all removed it.

When it comes to learning about Stuka operations, the men, the crews, tactics ect - I highly recommend this book. It is more insightful than Rudel's book.

Taking Rudel, Mahlke and Hozzel's stuff into account - I think the AI drops it's bombs prematurely. They would drop at far lower alt then the AI does.

It depends on the size of the bomb, it's super easy to kill yourself with your own bomb in this game, unless you have a timed fuse i guess, but i never use those

I've done countless dives, never killed myself with a bomb. I typically pull out at 400-500 meters altitue. The AI pulls out at like 1000.

They would use a delay by default, not impact detination. It sounds like you learned why if you blew yourself up. :)

Actually that's not true.. sorry but only noobs would do that. But people seems to drop bombs from 10m alt just to hit something 100% of times. When i see people using he111 like this, makes me want to cry :P Devs should really make random aaa guns placed around towns. Just to stop people from flying so low.

You wont kill yourself with bombs if you will bomb normal way from higher alt. AAA wont have easy time hitting you and you wont die from bomb, it's not as accurate as flying 10m alt but safer and more realistic
