Don't underestimate the Stukas!
We did a squad review of last week. We survived the first contact with 109 swarm without loss or damage.
Jumped arriving at Dunkirk It was when the Stukas came we took the damage.
Stukas!For all you have seen written about "suicide" tactics, those Stukas fought like tigers. We had 2 go down with pilot wounds from Stukas (one vulched after landing by a Stuka),and one shot down by 109's after getting set up by a Stuka.
One discoed and the other three ran out of ammo after pouring what remained, after the first fight, into the Stukas. Those Stukas gave a more than honest account of themselves.
to the pilots.
The remaining three tried to withdraw after running ammo down (I had 45 rounds of .303 left). A third wave of 8 109's caught us retiring on the deck and finished us off.
It was the Stukas I tell you, don't worry about the others!;)
