The Original Ju-88 C-6 Heavy (Day) Fighter Rule

  1. The incorporation of this rule in any given mission is at the discretion of the mission controller.
  2. Except where otherwise specified by the mission controller:
    1. The Ju-88 appears only in zones with no fighter cover.
    2. The Ju-88 appears only as waves of one or two aircraft.
    3. The Ju-88 does not make frontal attacks. Reallocate 12to6; 1to3; 10to9.
    4. The Ju-88 does not make vertical attacks either climbing or diving.
    5. Only veteran skilled pilots fly the JU88.
  3. 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
  4. The Ju-88 C-6 inflicts damage to the B17 like the ME 110 (all hits are +1 hit).
  5. 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.)
  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.
