Please tell me which command opens the window. I think I will open iy and arm bombs at takeoff. All advice about technique welcome. Thank you

Not a window to arm the bomb, but a hatch to stradle it and ride her down:

AH HA!!! It is the round green knob to the left of the floor window..I crank it open before flight and arm the bombs too as I wobble all over the sky otherwise..kind of like looking at the English compass in the Spit. At 75 years I am still dealing with computers the old fashioned way..I "BLUNDER" my way forward..and then can't remember how I did it!!

I feel like we should have a view button that looks at the compass in the Spit/Hurri as even with TrackIr you can't really see it very well and this same view would let you look down through the window in the Stuka as well.
