Another powerful weapon but is not for british planes
"
In 1942, the need for an effective antitank weapon led to the construction of the final variant. The Ju. 87 G-1 was characterized by the installation of two 37 mm BK 3.7 cannons beneath its wings. The cannon proved to be a deadly and effective weapon and the G-1 a stable platform for its role. The cannon weighed 801 lbs (363 kg) and was fed by six-shot loaders. The G-1 was derived from mounting the cannon on a D-5 airframe. Most of these aircraft were used against russia and on the eastern front. It was in this aircraft that hans rudel scored his remarkable record of no fewer than 519 Soviet tanks destroyed .
