Chugalug, FED and MPN11,
All water under the bridge now. Would've liked to have tried a Ju-87 in or shortly after WWII, to see how it compared. I never even saw a VV Mk.IV (except one TT in the air postwar), so my opinion of it can be no more than that.
The Wehrmacht did well enough with the "Stuka" in Europe and Russia, but the USAAC turned its back on both its A-31 (VV I-III) and A-35 (VV IV). If the VV did any good at all, I reckon it was in Burma in 1943-44 when the Jap tactic of bunker-digging to drag-out retreat presented it with targets for which it might have been designed.
Fortunes of War !
