Wasn't there a Ju-88 with something like a 300 mm strapped on the bottom, or something like that?

Not 100mm+, but still pretty big.

EDIT: I'd rather see the 190 with the rutsatz of a pod with 2x20mm under each wing (4x20mm in pods), still has its inboard cannon (now 6x20mm) and also has the 13mm MGs (now 6x20mm & 2x13mm).

Imagine that firepower. NOBODY would be safe in a bomber, anywhere!

Hell, it could probably do a lot of damage in ground attack as well. Take out GVs in single bursts

Would be a hoot.

I bought the Armour die cast model of that FW from Bohdi
during his "clearance" sale. The toughest thing was trying to
get the plane out of the box without damaging the pencil lead
size 20mm pod barrels

It's a Walter Nowotny JG54 paintjob, and looks great though.

Give us a Ju-87 G-1 first.

Tony
I am supprised your article doenst mention the Sukhoi Su8
With 4 * 45mm cannons in the belly and 4400 hp of m71s and a forward fuselage of 4-15mm thick steel..
Certainly one of the most promising ground attack prototypes of the war.

Hope you do understand though that it takes a lot of MONEY, time, and effort it takes do the research.

Speaking of Money, Time, and effort:

Let me take a second and extend an invitation to all the community of AH to join the White 1 Foundation.

We need the support. I have contributed a large portion of my document collection to the museum and Dr Timkens is probably the largest collection of translated Luftwaffe documents on the FW-190 in the world. We have 18 complete volumes of translated manuals and an 8x10 bookcase full of documents (original). I just sent a 6 inch stack of material off to our translator. Not only are members allowed access to the library, museum, and workshop where you can examine the FW-190 in intimate detail but we will be releasing documentation to members thru the newsletter. Each month it will cover a different topic of the FW-190 along with documentation.

Help us out, Please!

Su-8, bring something like this on line and the Gvs had better find a deep hole to hide in

Tiger, Panzer, T34 would just be the start, imagine what you could do to a town or a field with this plane:aok

They don't need a whole: we have bullet proff trees

Leayme · « **Reply #27 on:** November 27, 2004, 04:09:38 PM »

Come in on a shallow approach and with the extended range of those cannons, you could probably be able to thump them pretty hard, unless they are well under the trees, then a 1000 pounder in close proximity might do enough damage.

Either way spawn campers would definitely be a rarer event, given the lack of cover at some spawn points:D

Bah! Using the current damage model, I'll simply haul out
my trusty Luger and plink your "Deathstar's" pilot
