Geez, either these guys were lousy shots or it took a LOT of ammo to hit those Zekes.

Interesting seeming them hit the airfields....when I do that in the game, I'm a vulching tard  :)

I wish the 50's would do that kind of damage.It would be nice if the 50 Cals were on a different setting than the soft lethality and on thier own setting.

Thanks for posting.  Some of the best gun camera footage I've seen.  The editing leaves something to be desired though.
Always try and be the person your dog thinks you are.

Yeah, some of that looked like P47 footage from Germany that's been aired a ton of times on TV, and all over the internet...mainly the trains and strafing.

It's Japan.  Those are Iwo based 51s from the 15th, 21st or 506th FGs that roamed all over Japan shooting things up when they weren't escorting B29s.  The close ups are of a 21st FG P51D.  Note it has rocket rails in some shots.  The USAAF 51s used rockets against Japan but not in that set up against Germany.

For some reason it was much more common to use color gun camera film in the Pacific too.
