→Junkers Ju 87 Stuka

Mediocrity at its finest, this plane is about as middle-of-the-road as dive-bombers come. Its bombs fall relatively close to each other and it has decent handling in a dive. | Mediocrity at its finest, this plane is about as middle-of-the-road as dive-bombers come.

The [[#Stuka|Stuka]] is probably the most under-appreciated plane in Battlefield 1942 and for good reason. With the Stuka, maintaining energy is nothing short of essential. The problem lies not with the Stuka, but with most pilots’ mentality. The Stuka hates turning. Instead of turning, force its nose down, roll over during the dive and pull up in the opposite direction for better performance. As far as being nimble, keep in mind that the Stuka will hold power more efficiently than most aircraft. As a point of reference, two superbly well flown Stukas can decimate a well flown [[#Yak|Yak]] and [[#Illyusion|Illyusion]]. | The [[#Stuka|Stuka]] is probably the most under-appreciated plane in Battlefield 1942 and for good reason.
