Re: The Ju88C-equipped Zerstörerstaffel of KG 30 during 1940
The Ju 88C-2 was produced in a quantity of 20 aircraft; 9 in June 1940 followed by 10 in July and the last one in August.
It had an armament as day destroyer of:
Fixed in the nose: 1 x MG 15, 3 x MG 17 and 1 x MG "FF"
Ventral position: 1 x MG 15
Rear cockpit: 1 x MG 15
As a night destroyer: an addititional 2 x MG "FF" in a ventral gondola.
The C-2 also had the extended wings and Jumo 211B or G engines.
Unfortunately, I have no precise data about the C-1 production if any at all. However, Ju 88C versions were used during the campaign in Norway so there were possibly conversions as A-0 or A-1 made provisionally.
