once again, keep it on topic!!!! one think the stats won't mention is the fact that the IL-2 was better armoured, or that it was better as a fighter..........
 
CC,

That means a lot coming from you! I don't think! as for it being on topic, I think that it is. You see the Stuka, unlike the IL2, was not designed to be anything other than a dive-bomber but the chances of war altered all of that. Though Stukas were considered for night ground-attack at one time.

how would it know when to pull up?.............



it wouldnt, the stuka is an inanimate object, do you mean when would the PILOT know when to pull up, perhaps?

ah, you assume that by "it" i'm refering to the plane in question, i may be ferering to the pilot.......................
 
Actually the Stuka had an automatic pull-up system. The pilot would set the mission parameters into it and put the plane into the dive. It would be pulled out of the dive automatically. Kind of like a very specialised autopilot.
