Introduction
The home of II/JG53 and II/KG53 is www.iijg53.com. We are a group of flight
simulation enthusiasts based on the il2 Cliffs of Dover game developed by Oleg Maddox
1C and Ubisoft. Jagdgeschwader (JG) 53 operate the Messerschmitt bf-109E3B and
Kampfgeschwader staffel (II/KG53) operate the Junkers 88A1 (JU88) as depicted in the
game. Normal progression to II/KG53 is via II/JG53.
The purpose of this brief is to provide II/JG53 Stab and Training Staff with a
compilation of information pertaining to the in-game performance of the JU88 that is
available to the general public. This document should be read in conjunction with the official
il2 Cliffs of Dover manual (and the JG53 Basic Flight School manual (JG53 members only)).
The information is provided in good faith and the compilers sole purpose is to encourage the
use of the JU88 in-game and form the basis of a II/KG53 Operations Manual in the future.
Any errors or omissions are the fault of the compilers. Many of our valuable
contributors are mentioned in the Acknowledgement section of the document.
Cockpit Familiarization
If this is the first time you have ventured from your bf109 cockpit you will find that
the JU88 is a far more complex aircraft. Just having a second engine doubles all the
instruments! Do not let this daunt you as many of the controls and gauges will be familiar
from your bf109 experience. Take particular note of the following (see Annex A):
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
.
Directional Gyro
Magnetic Compass
Repeater Compass
Variometer
Markings (Red, yellow, green) on Tachometer and Manifold Pressure
Flaps control
Divebrakes
Cockpit Illumination - for low light and night missions:
● Primary (white circle left) operates pilot side illumination.
● Secondary (white circle right) operates
co-pilot illumination (bugged).
● The third dial is for tertiary illumination
- not modelled in-game.
● Fuel selector gauge (yellow circle), the
fuel gauges flank this dial.
●
Bug work-around. In low-light
missions the Pitot Tube Heater light
provides some illumination to the gyro
and instruments to the right. However,
the Pitot Heater should only be used
when over 2000m, never on take-off
as it reduces engine power.
Figure 1 - Fuel and illumination dials
Key Commands - Options - Controls
Many of the controls that have been assigned for bf109 operation will be applicable
for JU88 operation. In addition to those, it is suggested that the controls listed in Annex B be
assigned a key (joystick or keyboard) to enable the efficient operation of the functions listed.
Annex C and D provide examples of keyboard layout.
Game Difficulty - JG53 is a “full switch” unit. With the exception of “Anthropomorphic
Control” all difficulty options are on. Techniques described in this document are with the
game in this setting.
Figure 2 - Digital and analog display
Information Windows
Two engines are twice the fun! The Information Window can be setup to display
the key engine data in digital format or you can use the analog format that is the default
view. Note that you have information for each engine - see Figure 2 for display of digital and
analog display. Right click the window and select Information Window for the digital display.
Engine Management
From Luftwaffe Skizzenbuch by Hans Liska, 1942
The JU88A-1 has two Jumo 211B-1 engines. A detailed list of performance
specifications can be found at Annex E. The pilot should, as a minimum, memorise the
following factors:
●

Flap Adjustment
There are four positions for the flaps (see Figure 4):
●
●
●
Landekl (landing) position 50 degrees deflection.
0 position - take off 25 degrees deflection.
The flaps are in the neutral position at the top and bottom selections.
Take-off
The following describes the sequence for taking off from a full length concrete
runway (e.g., Tramecourt on ATAG server).
● Open water radiator and oil radiator 30% on taxi.
● When lined up on runway, radiators to 100% open, throttle 100% on take-off (2600
rpm, 1.25 ata, 5 minutes maximum).
● Coarse pitch (100% - 12:00) with toe brakes deployed.
● Release brakes and focus on a straight run (tail will lift on its own),
● Apply slight back pressure (rotate) at 180/185 kmh (any slower you will stall, faster
will result tyre blowout).
● On lift off, landing gear up.
● Level out and gain speed (200 kmh),
● raise the flaps when in stable flight
● adjust elevator trim to obtain required flight attitude (climb, cruise, etc)
●
Adjust propellor pitch to obtain flight criteria for ATA, RPM.
Figure 5 - Propellor pitch control
Climb
Adjust throttle to 2400 rpm, 1.25 ata, maximum 30 minutes. Best airspeed for climb
is between 240-250 kmh (see Figure 6). The supercharger should only be used over
4000m.
Right - Monitor the variometer for rate of
climb (top), Indicated Airspeed (left) and
altimeter during climbout.
The RPM and ATA gauges are located in
front of the bombardier.
The best rate of climb is 4-500 metres per
minute at 250 kmh.
Trim flaps so engines remain in normal
operating range.
Figure 6 - Instruments during climb
Cruise
Standard cruise setting: 2250/2400 rpm, 1.15 ata. Trim water radiator flaps so that
the following maximum temperatures are not exceeded:
●
●
●
●
●
●
Altitude - sea level: maximum temperature 110C.
1000m
…........…........110C
<4000m …..................100C
<8000m ….................. 80C
emergency < 10 mins - 120C
minimum temperature 40C, normal 80C
Right - The propellor pitch, engine oil
temperature and hydro pressure gauges are
located in the engine nacelle (Figure 7).
The radiator water temperature gauges are
located in front of the bombardier.
Figure 7 - Port engine nacelle gauges
Oil Radiator is to be trimmed so that the temperature is in the range 30-80C (normal
cruise 80C), in an emergency 105C should not be exceeded.
Right - co-pilot view, note green, yellow
and red marks to assist with correct
setting of RPM and ATA (manifold
pressure).
The radiator water temperature gauges
are located to the lower right (green
border).
Figure 8 - Gauges, co-pilot view
Slow Flight and Landing
The pilot should prepare the aircraft for slow flight or landing condition by following
this procedure:
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
Reduce speed to 250 kmh
Set Flaps to 0
Throttle for slow cruising 220-240 kmh (ata 0.8 - 0.9)
Check auto prop pitch has adjusted to full coarse (100% - 12:00)
Lower landing gear
Flaps to Landing position
Glide not below 200 kmh, at the outside marker (of the airstrip), 5-10m altitude and
190 kmh
Monitor speed until touch down.
After touch down, flaps lever up (retract)
Navigation
Using the in-game map for navigation. This can be a very interesting part of the life
of a “Cliffs of Dover” pilot. Particularly when the weather module of the game is fully
operational.
Figure 9 - Maps and Navigation Tools
Introduction to the navigation tools and their implementation.
The map tools are easy to use.
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
Open the Map, ensuring you can see the terrain you intend to navigate (ie start and
end point).
Right click the map, and choose Tools. The navigation toolbar will appear.
The Navigation Tools are:
○ Navigational marker,
○ Delete navigational marker,
○ Ruler and Protractor.
The course in the example is a simple out and back. More complex courses
may involve co-ordination with other squadrons, different egress course etc. The
navigational marker is useful in these instances. The ruler is useful for finding out the
distances to travel for fuel consumption, estimated time over target, etc. The most
important tool for navigation is the Protractor.
Select the Protractor symbol.
Left click over the starting point (in example, Tramecourt) and drag line due north,
then release.
Left click on point 2, (in example, the Radar Installation). Note the angle produced by
these two actions (in example, 58 degrees). As this number is to the west it will have
to be subtracted from 360 to give us the Grid bearing for this course. Grid bearing
●
●
●
●
equals 360-58=302 degrees.
The navigational instruments in all aircraft are based on the magnetic compass.
To convert the grid bearing to magnetic the magnetic variation needs to be added
(northern hemisphere, subtracted in the southern). At this time (1940) the magnetic
variation was 10 degrees. So the bearing the pilot will have to steer to, or set the
autopilot to, is 302+10=312 degrees.
After completing the mission the return course will be 312-180 = 132 degrees
magnetic.
Map to ground. It is important that the pilot note prominent features on the course.
For instance, in the example, the first checkpoint could be that we pass to the
southern side of Boulogne.
Use the stopwatch to calculate time over distance.
Navigation Instruments
Left to right: Directional Gyro (square shape), Repeater Compass, Magnetic
Compass (in blue case)
Repeater/Magnetic Compass
This can be adjusted by clicking on screen
or via the Course Setter key assignments decrease/ increase.
Directional Gyro
This has two levels. The upper level
can be adjusted on screen or via the
Directional Gyro key assignments decrease/increase. The lower level is
adjusted by the Autopilot Adjust Course
key assignments - left/right.
Figure 10 - Magnetic, Repeater Compass and Gyro
Relationship between the directional gyro and the magnetic/repeater compass
There is no mechanical/electrical relationship between the directional gyro and the
compasses. The autopilot could be set without any reference to the magnetic compass.
However, it is good practice to align the compasses with the directional gyro. In practice,
only the lead aircraft has the option of engaging the autopilot. The other planes in the
formation fly manually due to the demands of formation flying. Having the magnetic/repeater
compass setup gives the pilot a visual reference to the current course.
In some cases the leader may prefer to fly using the magnetic/repeater compass
rather than setting up the auto-pilot. The complexity of the mission plan (course), length of
leg etc will usually dictate the practicality of employing the auto-pilot.
Autopilot
It is good practice for all members of the bomber formation to prepare their
instruments for auto-pilot flying. The leader’s aircraft may suffer a mechanical issue
or be shot down. The first step to prepare for auto-pilot flying is to align the navigation
instruments.
●
Figure 11 is a typical view of the
instruments when spawning.
●
First, note the direction indicated
by the red triangle on the magnetic
compass.
●
In this example the red triangle is at
30 degrees.
Figure 11 - Typical view of navigation
instruments at spawn
Align Repeater Compass
●
Align the Repeater Compass with
the direction found in step one, ie, 30
degrees (Figure 12)..
●
Hover and click the mouse over the
magnetic compass or use keys that
you have assigned to the task to bring
30 degrees to the 12 o’clock position.
Note that the plane image in the dial
corresponds to the magnetic bearing.
Figure 12 - Align compasses with magnetic
north
Align Upper Gyro Band
●
The next step is to align the
upper gyro band with the repeater
compass (Figure 13).
●
Use the on screen dial or use keys
that you have assigned to the task.
Figure 13 - align upper gyro band with
magnetic heading
Align Lower Gyro Band
●
The next step is to align the lower
gyro band with the course that has
been determined by the map work see Navigation section.
●
The lower gyro band (Figure 14)
has been aligned to a course of
312 degrees (as per the Navigation
example).
Figure 14 - align lower gyro band with
projected course
Align Repeater Compass with Lower Gyro Band
●
The final step is to align the repeater compass with the lower gyro band. This
provides the pilot with a visual clue that he is on course (the plane symbol will be
pointing to the top of the dial - ie 312 degrees).
●
Once the pilot has taken off and achieved stable flight, the pilot is to steer within 10
degrees of 312 degrees, then engage Autopilot - Course.
●
Later in the mission it will be necessary to align the lower gyro band with the bomb
run course, so you can go to the bombardier’s position. On the bomb-run engage
Autopilot - R22.
Bombing
The JU88 is capable of conducting level bombing, dive-bombing and skip bombing
missions. It has two internal bomb-bays and wing mounts.
Tuning the Altimeter.
The altimeter measures air pressure (in millibars) to determine the aircraft’s height
above sea level. Altitude above target is one of the key factors the bombardier needs to
know to conduct a successful level bombing run. A rotating dial on the altimeter adjusts the
millibar setting which, in turn, modifies the altimeter display, ie altitude.
The method of tuning the altimeter is described below.
●
●
●
●
Select an airfield and note its elevation above sea level (see Annex G).
Spawn at the airfield.
Rotate the altimeter calibration dial until the altimeter shows an altitude matching the
one in the Annex.
Hover your mouse over the mbar setting and note down the pressure it displays.
Bomb Load
The Bomb Loadout screen is discussed on p. 59 of the CLoD manual. Currently
this screen is only functional when online. For playing offline, it is recommended that the
preferred bomb loadout is saved online, then selected in the Full Mission Builder for offline
play.

Level Bombing.
The technique described for JU88 level bombing also applies to the Heinkel 111.
The potential bombardier should make themselves familiar with pages 79-82 of the CLoD
manual.
Indicated Airspeed (IAS) / True Airspeed (TAS) Tables.
A copy of the metric Indicated Airspeed (IAS) / True Airspeed (TAS) Table from page
112 of the CLoD manual is located at Annex H. The IAS/TAS table provide estimates based
on standard temperature readings at the altitude specified; actual temperature will vary,
therefore affecting actual TAS.
Salvo Bombing
The most common form of bombing in WW2 was salvo bombing (dropping all bombs
at once). This is what will be covered in this instruction. When starting your level bombing
career give yourself as much time as possible to complete all the steps correctly.
Normally there is plenty of time between taking-off and commencing the bomb run.
During this period ensure that you have completed the following tasks:
●
●
●
●
●
●
Preset the bombsight to the estimated altitude of the bomb run.
Preset the bombsight to the estimated TAS.
If the loadout has bomb-bay one and two loaded ensure that both bomb-bays are
selected.
Select the correct Bomb Distribution Mode - In this example - Salvo
Select Bomb Distribution Distance - 1
Lastly, Arm the Bombs when commencing the bomb run.
Navigating to the target
One of the biggest challenges for the bomber crew is to get the aircraft aligned for
the bomb run. Consider the shape of the target. Is it best to approach the target from a
particular angle as the bombs fall in a line? What geographical feature will help in navigating
to the target? Due to camouflaging by the enemy the target may not appear until late so
estimating by geographical features will be the best guide initially.
In most cases the course to the target will be more than one leg. Find a prominent
feature that will denote the start of the bomb run. Know what the course is from this point
to the target. Use the bomb sight to identify this feature so you can trim the aircraft onto the
correct course.
The Bomb Run
Initially, the odds are that we will not be able to see the target. But we know
from our previous work that we are roughly on the bomb run/aligned with the target, as a
minimum, on our current course the target will appear in the bombsight.
●
●
Confirm that the bombs are armed.
Open Bomb-bay doors.
○ The bomb bay doors can be opened by clicking and holding the bomb bay
door handle (see Figure 15) or by a key assigned to Open Bomb Bay Doors
and Close Bomb Bay Doors. The Toggle Bomb Bay Doors assignment does
not work on the JU88 because it has manual operation, unlike the he-111
which has electrically operated doors.
Aircraft Trim. Attain 320 kmh IAS and then engage R22 auto-pilot mode. It may
take a minute or so for the aircraft to settle in this mode, and possibly 500 feet of altitude.
Ensure propellor pitch, oil and water radiators and manifold pressure are at satisfactory
levels. During the bomb run you will need to concentrate on IAS, altitude and adjusting the
bombsight.
Figure 15 - the Bomb Bay Door handle
Bombsight
Before shifting to the bombardier position note the current airspeed (IAS) and
altitude of the aircraft. If the target is located above sea level it will be necessary to subtract
the target’s height above sea level from the altitude indicated. Use the IAS/TAS table
to estimate the true airspeed (TAS). During the approach return to the pilot’s position a
number of times to confirm aircraft altitude and IAS. Note that you can adjust the bombsight
altitude and bombsight velocity from the pilot’s position. You cannot check too often.
Move to the bombardier’s position and select Shift-F1 (default setting) to move to the
bombsight view. Input the TAS and altitude. Use the distance increase/decrease keys to
select a recognizable feature. Then select bombsight automation. If the crosshair is moving
above your chosen point, the bombsight is calibrating too slow, increase your speed setting.
Of course if it is falling below your selected point you will need to decrease your speed
setting. Once you are happy you have a good result turn off the automation. Make sure you
do this before the bombs drop!
Go back to the pilot’s position and get the current altitude and IAS. Repeat the
process. As you get close to the target you will first need to align the horizontal line with the
target, then set automation on. Adjust the vertical line with the Auto-pilot Adjust Left/Right
keys. Not the bombardier’s adjust left/right keys - these only tell you how many degrees to
the left or right of target you are - this is useful if you want to allow for crosswinds.
Adjustment of the horizontal line (cross hair).
This was mentioned in paragraph 16 and it can be confusing at first, so we will take
a second look at it. If the horizontal line is falling below the target the Lofte bombsight is
tracking too fast. This is caused by the Lofte bombsight velocity being too high and/or the
Lotfe altitude being too low relative to the aircraft’s position.
Put another way, the aircraft is travelling slower than the bombsight setting and/or is
higher than the bombsight setting.
Figure 16. Simplified explanation of dropping short or falling long
Figure 16 is a simplified explanation of some of the reasons for bombs falling short
or overshooting the target. It presumes one of the factors, altitude or TAS, is correct
and the other incorrect. More than likely, missing is caused by both factors being out by
some margin. Take note of where your bombs hit if they don’t hit the target. Try to learn
something from every bomb run.
Figure 17 describes the same thing but from a different perspective. At Point A the
bombardier sets the bomb-site on the target according to the observed altitude and TAS.
As the plane flies to Point B the horizontal line tracks to a position above the target. The
telescopic barrel of the bombsight is tracking too slow. This is caused by the aircraft flying
faster than the bombsight velocity input or the aircraft is flying higher than the bombsight
altitude input. The bombsight could be tracking a point in space indicated by where the red
line crosses the blue line.

Typical Sturzflug Sequence in the JU88
●
●
●
●
●
●
Description of a typical sturzflug sequence in the JU88.
The pilot watches as the target passes the last marking on his lower window and
activates the air-brake. Automatically fins at the elevator push the tail of the plane
upwards and the plane dives at a 60° angle.
During the dive, the pilot keeps the target just below the highest point of his Reflector
sight.
When the bomber is 250m above the bomb release point (which has previously been
set at 1300m at the altitude meter), a warning tone starts. The pilot pulls the plane
slightly up so that the target is seen now at the lowest part of the reflector sight.
As the plane reaches the previously set bomb dropping altitude, the warning tone
stops and the pilot presses the button at the left side of his stick in order to initiate the
automatic procedure for bomb release and automatic plane recovery.
The nose of the plane rises slightly and the bombs are released.
After completion of the automatic plane recovery, the pilot retracts the air-brakes and
accelerates.
The Gunner
There are three gun positions in the JU88. The default command to remove the
cursor from the screen is F10. This will also result in the mouse controlling the gun while you
are in the gunner’s position. The left mouse fire’s the gun. Reload in the JU88 is automatic,
note, there is no reload animation like, for example, the bf-110.
The Human Gunner
With the plane in autopilot (recommended but not compulsory), move to the prefered
crew position. When returning to the pilot position do so via the bombardier. A current issue
is that the gunner position will not revert to AI if you shift directly from a gunner’s position to
the pilot position.
A multi human crewed aircraft requires all players to spawn at the same airfield. The
non-pilot crew then press ESC and select their position from the list available in the pilot’s
aircraft..
Bail Out
●
●
To bail out of the JU88 the following functions need to be assigned a key:

We hope you find this Technical Brief on the JU88 interesting and informative. If you would like to
learn more about how to operate the JU88, or the bf109, the fastest way is to join an on-line squad.
Of course, we would recommend II/JG53! We have a Fighter School and a Bomber School and pilots
with hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of experience to show you the ropes.
In development is a series of videos to support the training material in this document. We expect
this to be released to the general public, although you will get more out of them if you view them in
conjunction with attendance at our classes (membership required).
If you enjoy flying the JU88 as a single player, our advanced bomber class takes it to the next
dimension. See you there!
Look forward to seeing you online.
Happy flying,
II/JG53_Felix
