Historical Background: The Junkers Ju 87 G-2, more commonly known as the "Stuka," was developed in response to the needs of the German Luftwaffe during the intense fighting on the Eastern Front in 1943-1945. Unlike its bomber predecessors, the G-2 version was equipped with powerful 37 mm cannons, turning it into a deadly weapon against Soviet armored units. The most famous pilot to showcase the capabilities of this version was the ace Hans-Ulrich Rudel. These aircraft made a significant contribution to delaying Soviet offensives in the latter years of the war.
