The odd thing about this Ju88 C-6 is that it starts the game at bomber altitude. It's easy to be lured into a bomber hunting role, but in fact you are quite vulnerable to bomber-hunting aircraft of the same tier, being incapable of maneuvering at high altitudes, and your defensive armaments do little. I ended up using it pretty much the same way as a Do217, doing BnZs on enemy low altitude attackers. It doesn't nearly dive as fast though, making it a big target on the retreat.
I can see where you are coming from on this. It is because of this that I like how this plane has been placed at BR 2.7. At the BR you will experience one or two pilots who will head to altitude - with the bomber spawn giving you the ability to rush these foes before they can match your altitude/energy state - but not too many.
Merry Christmas Paul, not sure when I'll catch on ts again. But I have really liked flying this thing.
Likewise Matt; hope you had a good one. :)
She's a pleasure to fly.
Heavy fighters for life
Yup! :P
merry christmas mate, try the ta 154, now thats a heavy fighter ;) this is a bomber ;)
Likewise sire. :)
I will get around to it; just want to focus on the lower BRs for a little while. :)
Great video review, as usual. Merry Christmas, Paul, to you and your family and friends.
Thanks Julian; I trust you and your family had a good one? :)

Nice ace there mate and that plane has a great camo to it :)
Thanks matey. The camo is beautiful. :)
Happy New Year to you sir. :D
Happy new year to you and your family :)
Fantastic video as always! Happy Yule!
Thanks Polaventris. The same to yourself sir. :)
I would like to see the Ju88 with the upward firing cannon,ie..mg 151/20 or the mk108( 30mm)...that would be yummy food
wow... we are both late up on Christmas!
Yeah - I fell asleep in my chair after uploading this haha! :D
Merry X-mas!
Likewise matey; hope you had a good one. :)
Looks like a heavy me 410 with less guns
You could say that. Although keep in mind the Me 410s do not get a bomber spawn.
tx141TX you are right. it is a me410 with a bulletproof vest with a better spawn point. lol
