Producing in 1942 Ju-88C-6 has shown very high efficiency in a role of a night fighter. It was the first airplane of such type designed during development of heavy fighter Ju-88C. The installation of the additional equipment inevitably conducted to increase of weight of the machine and deterioration of flight performances, and as result - to reducing speed. All this has resulted in occurrence by spring of 1943 and the prototype following, considerably improved model of night fighter Jã-88V58 (Ju-88G V1). This prototype formed by alteration còàíäàðòíîãî bomber Ju-88R with the installation on it of a tail unit from Ju-188.
In total it has been made over 2800 night fighters Ju-88G in versions Ju-88G-1, G-4, G-6 and G 7, each of which had two - three more versions with various armament and radars of different types. These machines went into service since a summer of 1944.
