...when a single 110G2 can come in otd and straffe down a Cruiser in a single pass along with its rockets...

Its even more astounding when that 110 proceeds to fly right on through the CV ack with zero damage.

Thats realism for ya.

WTG guys.

You don't want it to happen you should sit in a gun position and shoot him down.

IRL they didn't have a computer firing the guns for you...

IRL they had a 24-hour crew.

IRL there is no way a single 110 is gonna sink a CV ... period.

Not so. Heavy cruiser's weren't that tough and a couple of very well placed 500kg bombs could sink one. It wouldn't be very likely, but it is well within the possible outcomes.

Now with guns, you're absolutely right.

Here's a little bit of "IRL" for you.

IRL there is absolutly no way a 110 is going to sink a Cruiser using only Rockets and Guns in a single pass.

I thought the rockets on the 110 where air to air. In any case, I was after a spit once that took cover in the CV ack. Like the dumy that I am, I followed. I missed, hit the CV, Cv sank. I was in a Yak9U. Two hits and it went down. It had to be soft but common now. And yes, I lived with a couple of pings from the ack but no damage.

Speaking of real life, have you seen any films of real life ack comming of a boat? I don't think a fly could get through it, not a 110. In AH I am more afraid of PTs than a CV group. Unless I am 20 miles away in a fighter at 15K and the pufy ack comes after me.

And NO, I am not going to man a gun on a CV waiting for some fool to strafe it with a fighter. If you are so good, fly the 110 against GVs or airplanes.

I don't think it should be possible to sink a capital ship with just guns and rockets. It most likely wasn't possible IRL either. The 110 has 20mm and 30mm guns, it should take much larger rounds than that to even do appreciable damage to a capital ship.

That A6M, like othe kamikaze planes most likely had maximum fuel load and ordinance aboard so it would do as much damage as possible. Also, Kamikaze planes didnt sink ships by firing their guns, they sank them by ramming the ships.

That *low, slow biplane attack* was a torpedo attack on the Bismarck, not a guns and rockets attack, which is what this thread is about

I could be wrong but I think it took hundrets of planes and a few days to get Bismark and all the damage it finaly took was to its steering system from a bomb or torp. It did not sink because they strafed it down with mgs. Not to mention that when initially attacked it was parked and not moving. They still could not hit it though.

Also, kamakazee's would hit the boat with a plane full of explosives. Again, no mg involved. And not many made it through the ack.

I dont have a problem losing a CV. But losing it to MG fire is kind of, what can I say, strange?? Hit it with a bomb at list.

In the case of my Yak taking it down, I have put more rounds in LANCs and they just flew away. But the CV went down. If you don;t see anything wrong with that there is no point to continue this dicusion.
