Ju-87 G Kanonenvogel. Can't really tell from that angle if it's a G-1 or a G-2 (extended span). The G-1 and G-2 were based on the D-3 and D-5 respectively. Some early machines had the cannons, but were still "officially" D models.

Yup, that's a 162 Volksjäger. I used to think of it as the Salamander, but that was the code-name of the construction program.

When I mentioned the divebombers I said "ship" for a reason.

I'm guessing for propaganda purposes.

The reason for firing the guns is actually quite practical. If the bullets aren't hitting the ship the pilot would adjust his line of attack to compensate.

Range judgement before releasing the bomb.

That looks like one of the experimental Junkers jet aircraft, though without looking the details up, I can't say which one.
