Yes, good point.

No, I think you are correct. Someone else pointed out that the Ju88 was originally designed as 
a dive-bomber, but it is treated as a level bomber in the game. In the Pacific, level bombing 
from B17s was pretty ineffective.

I guess we'll just have to put it down to another historical inaccuracy in PG (like those 3 
range SIG SPGs - real life max range 2500m).
