Ju-87/88 Production

[Chuck?]

There seems to be a problem with the production numbers for the Ju-87 (early) and Ju-88 (early). There a 837 Ju-87s assigned but only a production of 14. 244 Ju-88s are assigned but the production is 42.

SkyVon's magnum opus on the air forces reckons that double the number of Ju88s were built during the war compared with the Ju87, so I don't think it's too wildly out. Despite their reputation, the Ju87s were obselete by WWII and took a beating whenever they came up against decent fighter opposition.

To be honest, after reading the above - it's worth a close look if your at all interested in the air forces of WWII, even the minor countries, the entire air OOB could do with an overhaul.

But I still think the general effect is right: German air superiority early on, strong combat support capability, tailing off as Lend-Lease and the USA come in.

Maybe more 88s should be assigned than 87s to mirror the production rate.
