New MG 81 belt-fed machine guns replaced the older MG 15s that had previously been fitted. After experiencing difficulties in the Battle of Britain, the aircraft received additional metal sheeting in the cockpit walls and floor, as well as an armoured pilot's seat, shielding the pilot's back and sides. Unlike its predecessors, the plane had a new 1,400 PS engine, letting the bomber move around at high speed. The Ju 88 high-speed horizontal and dive bomber was one of the most versatile aircraft of WWII, and the Ju 88A-4 was the most well-known and highly mass produced of all the variants. Big plane, ideal target for SPAAs when flying low.Water-cooled engines and large radiator mean that any shots to the engine in RB or SB will usually result in engine failure.Take-off from short runways is difficult.50 calibre and cannon fire will quickly tear it apart Unfavourable matchmaking in arcade battles.Defensive armament has a high rate of fire combined with AP-T ammunition that can easily start fires.Can perform exceptionally well even in some early rank II battles.The 50 kg bombs are very efficient at taking out individual ground targets.Possesses a large payload (2,400 kg) that doesn't have that much penalty in overall performance.One of the few bombers that can reliably destroy enemy airfields at lower rank battles (AB).Fairly resistant to small calibre bullets (.30 cal).Airframe can withstand high speed during a dive and is equipped with air brakes.Extremely manoeuvrable at low speeds (RB & SB).Better and more reliable defensive armaments than the He 111 H-3.Fast bomber, can outrun lower-ranked foes.
