In summary, the conversation mainly revolved around discussing various types of planes and their design features. The main topic of conversation was a photoshopped image of a F86 Bi-plane that one user had created. This led to discussions about the design and functionality of different WWII planes, such as the B-17, P-47 Thunderbolt, P-38 Lightning, Supermarine Spitfire, and Vought Corsair. The conversation also touched on the unique bent wings of the Corsair and the reason behind their design. There was also a question posed about the folding wings on the Hellcat, which was later revealed to be a trick question as the Hellcat does not have folding wings.

But if the mad scientist can get it to work, more power to him.

Thinking stragetically about the Ju87B's ability to carry a single bomb, wouldn't it be better to just put multiple, smaller bombs mounted under the undercarriage in rows of 2, which would give the bombs a better chance of hitting the target.
The whole point of the Stuka and its ability to dive on a target at very steep angles is to make hitting the target a lot more possible. That being the case, they can put a single, bigger bomb on the plane. (which is better payload-wise than several smaller ones).
