Re: Ju 87B Stuka and its bombs
But I mean the following: was it possible to drop for example 2 x SC 50 bombs from a 80°-90° degrees dive attack (1st attack) and then gain height again with the SC 250 or SC 500 and 2 x SC 50 still on board? This means 350 kg or even 600 additional kg`s !! Wouldn`t the plane crash on the ground with it? In such a case even air brakes wouldn`t help, right?
Or the pilot had to release the bombs at a height which allowed him to survive the diving attack or not to damage the airplane. But this would be senseless and the bombing itself mostly inaccurate. Better to use He 111 or Do 17.
Any idea? Can somebody describe an attack by Ju 87 where the pilot dove (vertical) 2 or even 5 times on a target?
