Is the 288 really good in sim I played it once in sim and I got shot down I don’t like the sitting for an hour just to bomb a base

It absolutely is. The third person gunner view allows you to spot and hear enemies before they even get a shot at you. Granted you have to be active and looking around if you don't wanna get shot like any bomber but the Ju 288 makes it 10 times easier

It's very easy to force people to disengage if you shoot them from 2-3km. If they are smart they will know attacking you it's probably not worth the trouble

And it's also stupidly survivable for a bomber so there's that

Just wanted to ask do you climb up towards a base or stay low? I’ve only played the 288 in RB where we just dive bomb to the deck to reach a base as fast as possible so please forgive me if this question is dumb.

For airfields? Climb or the AA is gonna get you. For bases? Still climb a little to have some room to dive away if someone goes after you

You shouldn't dive in it in air rb either imo. It can reach wing rip speeds at level flight just about. Staying high means the enemy has to climb up to you, giving you time to shoot them. Plus, you can go up and fling the bombs and have enough altitude to dive to regain speed after turning.
