Am I the only one here who thinks the Stuka isn't ugly?

The Ju-87; even with its reputation in mind it's quite underrated. The Ju-87G in particular would be considered the first truly effective anti-tank aircraft.

The problem with the Ju-87 was that it did not work well against modern defeces and was not nearly as deadly as the Typhoon or Thunderbolt, much less its pacific counterparts that started to appear in '42 and '43. It's early war success could not compensate for its later failures.

Which is why it was much better as an anti-tank aircraft than a divebomber, where the only real threat is usually enemy fighters, and on the front lines you USUALLY have cover. On the Eastern Front, this was almost always the case.
Sure, there were better ones, but under the right conditions no plane was more accurate in placing bombs on target.

Well, the Typhoon and Thundrbolt were anti-tank aircraft :/ But I can see how they would have been effective on the Eastern front up until when the modern Mig's and Yak's started appearing (and most Eastern Europeans would argue that the IL-2M and IL-10 were better)

I said it was a better anti-tank aircraft than divebomber, not better than "X". Besides, it may not have been the BEST, but it was one of the first.

Just trying to prove that it was't underrated and that its reputation is deserved...
