Ju87 Stuka was never replaced because Germany lacked aircrafts to replace it with, and the pilots were trained to used this plane. It was a slow plane with a tiny bombload. But with this was less of a problem when it got equiped with cannons to shoot on ground targets with that was effective against tanks, and no side managed to completly control all of the air space on the eastern front for all periods of time. So the Stuka could be used. And when it was used it was very effective with its high precision attacks.

I think they had the ability to make some devastating bombardments on the eastern front as the 'Soviet storm' documentary mentions. Luftwaffe bombed Sevastopol in 1942 with more air raids than what they did against England during the entire battle of Britain, if I remember correctly. The failure was that Luftwaffe was never big enough to deal with the gigantic Eastern front, even if it managed to destroy the red air force the first days of the war. And even without the losses in the battle of Britain would the Luftwaffe still be way too small for the task at hand. It simply couldn't behave like it had been doing in the battlefields in the west. There was simply too many targets and too few planes and too few bombs to be able to attack them all. So the Luftwaffe had to make sharper priorities in the east to only attack the most important targets, and all other tempting targets had to be let go off.
