more than a bomber

The main variant was the Ju 87D-5, with a longer wingspan to offset the increased weight of the Dora series. The Ju 87D-5 was a night variant, prompted by heavy losses in daytime attack missions. It featured a more powerful Jumo 211P engine and long exhaust flares that extended beyond the wing's trailing edge. As with the D-8 variant, the fixed machine guns were replaced by 20 mm MG 151 cannons, and the dive brakes were omitted. The Ju 87D-8 was the last production version; the total number built by the end of September 1944—when aircraft production virtually ceased, except for fighters—reached the generally accepted figure of 5,709.
