The Junkers Ju 187 (originally called Ju 287, but in october 1943 this name was placed to the experimental forward-swept wing aircraft. You can find it on the 6th picture and you can download it because I upload it too) was an another Germany marvel engineering from the WWII and was upgraded version of the legendary Ju 87 dive bomber.

Desc

In the Battle of Britain, the luftwaffe need better aircraft to replace the Ju 87 which are vulnerable to enemy, so Junkers corporation make the Ju 187 which had better armour, speed, offensive and defensive armament, and retractable landing gear. The Ju 187 was equipped with Junkers Jumo 213A that produce 1324 kW (1776 hp) and making the Ju 187 can achieve max speed of 400km/h (111m/s or 248mi/h). The defensive armament was a MG 151 and a MG 131 in the rear turret and offensive armament was MG 151 in the wing root (based on Wikipedia but in Luft 46 website there's no MG 151 as offensive armament) and the bombs was varies from 4 x 25 kg, 2 x 50 kg, and 1 × 500 kg (this model I put a single 500 kg Bomb). The most funny and amazing part from the Ju 187 was the empennage which can rotate 180° from the normal position to upside down. Thus clearing the field of fire for the rear gunner (I still thinking how they handle the aircraft when the empennage still rotating).

AG

1 : Engine
2 : Empennage

Slider

1 : Rear turret (this slider enable the rear turret rotate ± 90°)
2 : Flaps

how to dive bombin' like the Stuka style

1 : make sure your aircraft are high enough
2 : roll your aircraft until upside down
3 : max up flaps
4 : dive to 60-90° angle
5 : release the bomb boys!
6 : don't forget to pull up your aircraft
7 : good luck

How to takeoff

1 : Activate AG 1, it will automatically turning on the engine without throttle (don't wait too much, you will going backwards
2 : Throttle up, this will turn the pitch of the propellers
3 : Pull up your pitch

How to land

1 : Turn back your empennage if it was upside down
2 : Max up your flaps
3 : turn on undercarriage
4 : land

Note

• Don't forget to retract back your empennage before landing
• This aircraft can do cobra maneuver, just
pitch up hard
• you need very soft landing, or it will damaging your propeller because the funny physics from the new landing gear
• I didn't put door for the canopy, I'm sorry
• please don't judge me for the sc 500 model
• the yaw will be inverted when it was upside down
• in luft 46 website and Wikipedia the mass of the aircraft are not said, so this model maybe not really 1:1 due to unknown mass of the real aircraft. This model has 4,891 kg of empty mass without bombs and droods
• As you can see, the thumbnail was inspired by picture of a Douglas SBD Dauntless doing dive bombing
• There was an secret recipe how i can fly this aircraft straight with 'only 1' propeller without get revealed the tricks by 3D model below

Imagine you are a British farmer doing your daily work, you look up and suddenly see a funny looking aircraft with upside down tail dropping a ½ ton bomb to your barn
