CFS1 Armed Ju-52/3m g5e.
-------------------------------
This military version of the original Ju52/3m tri-motor passenger and cargo aircraft, is armed with a cockpit 20 mm MG151/20 machine-cannon, a dorsal 13 mm machine-gun and two 7.92 mm waist machine-guns in lateral fuselage positions, and has a capacity for 10 x 110 lb bombs, or 3 tons of cargo.
To make CFS1 air defense possible, apart from the normal Virtual Cockpit, two extra Virtual Cockpit views have been added, specially useful with the TG2 (Tail Gunner 2" Add-on), for Combat mode in Padlocked Chase View:
One is from the cannon gun station above the cockpit, offering all-round views above the plane, and the other is a virtual view from inside, behind the cabin, offering downwards views between the winds and landing gear. Some elements of the aircraft remain visible, but it is the only method of standing a chance during attacks from below.
This armed g5e transport/auxiliary bomber version has 3x830 Hp engines, and a top speed of 183 mph at S.L. The livery corresponds to a unit that saw service during the invasion of Crete in 1941.
Several Ju52/3m´s are at present on display in very good condition in museums in different countries, and quite a few still fly today.
Virtual and Transparent cockpit elements, and extra Virtual Cockpit Views added using SCASM. TG2 Add-on, Bomb Aimer´s Panel and Custom panel with customized engine gauges included. RPM and Boost Gauges programmed by Ivan.
