Only seems like one or two times he hit the target. Most of those explosions look like he's hitting water. The very last one you see the entire area peppered with shrapnel hits, as he definitely hit the target.

hmm if those guns could do that to a tank what about a airplane:t ?

They'd probably make an inch-thick hole and do nothing. They're designed to pierce armor and explode inside. On a soft target they'd pass right through and probably blow up on the other side (if at all).

Those were converted 37mm AA guns. One source I found put the ammo load at 6 rounds per gun for the 37mm's (which looks like what was shot at that first barge), very slow reload times as you can see. Conversion was set at 100 meters, and the gun pods further reduced Stuka's performance.

But it would be fun to play with 37mm armed Stukas.

Biggest single problem for the big guns is a lack of targets.

Many of the targets he was shooting at were small watercraft, barge's, etc.
We need a LOT more ships, barges, LST's, landing craft, etc. They should ideally be tied into the strategic support system. Rivers should have barge traffic, small patrol boats, etc.

I just can't wait until I get shot in face by some knucklehead flying one...

Personally, I think it'd be the pinnacle of my AH experience so far:rolleyes:
