I stumbled upon this a few days ago and was thinking that it could be useful to anyone building a Kursk mission/campaign.

Very interesting, Thanks

interesting find,but what's this?
"the Ju-87 dive bomber with retractable landing gear and mounting a 37-mm gun;"!!!!!!!
that i would like to have seen with my own eyes....and i still would not
have believed it.

From what I can find it was the JU 187 Super Stuka.
It never flew and only got to the prototype stage.

Wheels

Except for the upside-down tail, I've flown one of those in the sim. Well, kind of. I've had both my landing gear shot off. Much more nimble that way. It almost resembles and IL-2I w/o gear creating drag. Mr. Green

Now that would have been a better addition IMO to '46 that say.....the Lerch if Oleg wanted to put in fantasy planes. At least it prototyped. The Lerch was an "on paper" aircraft only.

Beebop, What's wrong with your Stuka?

Don't do that to me when I first wake up, for a moment there I thought my perception of top and bottom got reversed during my sleep!
