Ju-87G - Assault modification of the aircraft, designed specifically to combat enemy armored vehicles. Over time, the situation on the Eastern front has changed greatly and the German command could not use Ju 87 as effectively as it was in the first years of the war. Since 1942, the greatest problem for the Germans began to be the Soviet tanks, the number of which was constantly increasing. Therefore, on the basis of the dive was created attack, the main task of which was the destruction of Soviet armored vehicles. The bombs were ineffective against Soviet medium and heavy tanks (T-34 and KV), so the aircraft was equipped with powerful aircraft guns BK 37 (37 mm). The magazine of each gun contained six armor-piercing shells with a core of tungsten carbide.
