The Ju 87 was designed for ground attack, and was used extensively to hunt tanks, anti-aircraft positions, and bomb just about any target. As a high precision dive bomber, it would go down on its prey at a very steep angle, release its bomb, and then climb out. <img src="http://www.world-war-2-planes.com/images/Ju87_blueprint_front.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />On the other hand, the Ju 87 was very heavy, had bad handling and poor defence capabilities, making it an easy target for allied fighters (I’ve heard a British pilot say it was like “turkey-shooting”). Nonetheless, as a bomber, the Stuka, as it was known, would elicit terror for the civilian or soldier hearing it diving – it literally made a hell of a sound which had a terrible psychological effect on the troops. Still a reliable and rugged aircraft, it destroyed more tanks than any other plane except for the Ilyushin Il-2 Shturmovik (a Russian ground-attack aircraft). <img src="http://www.world-war-2-planes.com/images/Ju_87_diving.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Type:         Ground   attack aircraft             Engine:         640hp   (and, later, 1200hp) Junkers Jumo 210Ca inverted   V12 liquid-cooled              Max speed:         383   km/h (238 mph)             Ceiling:         7   500m (24,600ft)             Range:         1   000km (620 miles)             Weight (empty):         2,268kg   (5,000 lb)             Weight (loaded):         4,336kg   (9,560 lb)             Wingspan:         13,8m   (45' 23")             Length:         11.13m   (36' 5")             Height:         3,90   m (13’)             Armament:         Two   MG17 firing forward  One MG15 in rear cockpit  500kg (1,102lb) bomb under fuselage<img src="http://www.world-war-2-planes.com/images/Ju87_cockpit_300.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
