By 1943, the German changing fortunes and the appearance of large numbers of Soviet tanks on the Eastern front saw the Stuka converted into a tank busting role, The G-1 was one of the last variants armed with two 37mm cannons mounted in under wing gondolas each loaded with a 6 round magazine of armour piercing tungsten ammunition. Ju-87G-1 Served during the Battle Of Kursk in 1943 where its low speed and stability made it especially good at acquiring slower moving ground targets.
