The Original Ju-88 C-6 Heavy (Day) Fighter Rule
-
The incorporation of this rule in any given mission is at the discretion of the
mission controller.
-
Except where otherwise specified by the mission controller:
- The Ju-88 appears only in zones with no fighter cover.
- The Ju-88 appears only as waves of one or two aircraft.
- The Ju-88 does not make frontal attacks. Reallocate 12to6; 1to3; 10to9.
- The Ju-88 does not make vertical attacks either climbing or diving.
- Only veteran skilled pilots fly the JU88.
-
When the rule is in effect, Ju-88s are encountered on the B3 Chart by substituting
the Ju-88 for the aircraft named on the chart as follows (re-allocate clock positions
as cited above): Chart B3 Waves 11, 22, 32, 41, 51, 62
-
The Ju-88 C-6 inflicts damage to the B17 like the ME 110 (all hits are +1 hit).
-
B17 gunners add one to Me-110 To Hit numbers on the M1 Defensive Gunnery Chart when
shooting at the Ju-88. (E.g., a 6 is read 5,6; a 4,5,6 is read 3,4,5,6; a 3,4,5,6
becomes 2,3,4,5,6.)
-
B-17 single mount MG hits on the Ju-88 fired by a non-ace gunner are reduced one
level: FCA = no damage; FBOA = FCA; Kill = FBOA. Regardless of the die roll a
single mount MG fired by a non-ace gunner cannot kill a Ju-88 with one hit. The
max damage is FBOA. An ace B-17 gunner is an exception. Ace gunner results are
treated normally, even if the ace is firing a single mount MG. Twin B17 MG
mounts are treated normally.
