Armaments
Offensive armament
The Ju 88 C-6 is armed with:
- 1 x 20 mm MG FF/M cannon, nose-mounted (120 rpg)
- 2 x 20 mm MG FF/M cannons, chin-mounted (120 rpg = 240 total)
- 3 x 7.92 mm MG 17 machine guns, nose-mounted (1,000 rpg top/left + 800 rpg right = 2,800 total)
Suspended armament
The Ju 88 C-6 can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 10 x 50 kg SC50JA bombs (500 kg total)
Defensive armament
2 х Turret7.92 mm MG 81 machine gun
Ammunition1000 rounds
Fire rate1597 shots/min
Turret2 x 7.92 mm MG 81 machine gun
Ammunition2700 rounds
Fire rate1597 shots/min
The Ju 88 C-6 is defended by:
- 2 x 7.92 mm MG 81 machine guns, dorsal turret (1,000 rpg = 2,000 total)
- 2 x 7.92 mm MG 81 machine guns, ventral turret (1,800 + 900 = 2,700 total)
Usage in battles
Bombers are often the main target for Ju 88 pilots. They can be easily caught and disposed of with the powerful cannons. Luckily, many bombers at this BR have only light machine guns as defensive armament, making them easy targets and not particularly threatening. However, there are some exceptions.
Beaufort Mk VIII - The Beaufort is fast and has a powerful twin .50 cal turret at the back. This can engage you at long range and cause serious damage to your aircraft. Try to approach it from underneath or in a head on, a blind spot for the defensive .50 cal turret.
B-34 - Same as the Beaufort, it has a powerful turret with twin .50 cals. Approaching from behind is very dangerous. This aircraft also has good offensive armament, so approaching from the front is dangerous too. The best option is to hit it from underneath.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- 3 x 20 mm MG FF/M cannons with Minengeschoß rounds that will make short work of any air target
- All offensive armament is centre-mounted, making them extremely deadly
- Decent defensive armament of 7.92 mm with good coverage
- Internal bomb bay, meaning the bombload affects weight, but not drag
- Good climb rate
- Durable airframe
- Manoeuvrable for a heavy fighter/bomber
- Ability to perform multiple roles such as a bomber, ground attacker, and heavy fighter
- Gets the attacker spawn in AB
Cons:
- Guns are sighted to aim below the nose tip of the plane, making it very awkward to aim in a dogfight
- Single-seat fighters are much more manoeuvrable
- Slow plane that presents itself as a large target
- Cannons fire with sluggish muzzle velocity and rate of fire
- Relatively low wing rip speed somewhat limits effectiveness at diving
- Engines are easily damaged, and the Ju 88 C-6 has a hard time flying with just one engine
- Prone to fires
- Locks up in dives, making it hard to pull out when getting near wing rip speed
- Although it can perform different roles, it excels at none of them
- No airbrakes, unlike the bomber variants of Ju 88 series
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
