Ju-87 "Stuka" attacks?

Why have they not introduced the Stuka into COH yet? Instead they give us this He.129 in the main COH games instead of the famous Ju-87 "Stuka", I think they should include the Stuka in Eastern Front in a doctrine, and give you options like anti tank run (When the aircraft is armed with two 37mm cannons), a Strafing run with machine guns and a dive bomb attack.

Well coh is set in and after overlord, and considering that the hs129 was more common then, they decided to choose it over the Stuka...

But I agree, ostheer should have stukas

Eastern Front is set over no particular time period in the Second World War, such to accomodate a variety of interesting units and potential battles.

If I remember correctly, the Hs129's portrayed in CoH have the 75mm nose cannons in which only a small handful were actually equipped with (more common was the 50mm) and the engines were underpowered to boot.  BF-110Gs and Me-410s were more common for ground attacking.
