JU87 w\37mm Cannon for Tank Busting

[Lusche]

ok, i wouldnt use rubbish, but it is really inefficient at tank busting. With its armour and ord, the Il has to be the first choice almost every time. The only time I would consider using the hurri is if there is a light cap over the field and enemy gv's in town. Even then do i want manouverability over armour ?

Personally I'd say I would prefer maneuverability only when the cap is light, with more heavy cap, when you can't track/evade all of them all the time I would take the armored Il-2. Especially if the enemy is already in town and you suspect m3s are on the roll. Because that's where the Hurri D really sucks: Hunting M3s.

On one night in particular I kept upping that IID trying to get a kill with it.  My experience was much the same as Krusty described, with lovely orange fireballs erupting on the deck above the engine, and yet the tank waltzing on as if I was firing .303s at it.

It was a frustrating night to be sure.  Made me think it was some kind of rubber bullet syndrome.

Regardless, I've found when I fly the IID, it is more dangerous to me than my target.  Yes, I am certain it is the pilot and not the plane.

That's not unknown to me. That were my 1st, 2nd and 3rd experiences too. I think it took me about a tour of practicing to get the right feel for setting up my attacks.

By the mysteries of the deep, by the flames of Banal, by the power of the east and the silence of the night, By the holy rites of Hecate, I conjure and exorcise thee, thou distressed spirit, to present thyself here and reveal unto me the cause of thy calamity why thou didst offer violence to thy own liege life, where thou art now in being, and where thou wilt hereafter be.

Nah Just looked it up on the net for the shock effect. I figured since I was going to raise a dead thread that I needed to go about it the right way.


I seriously want the Stuka variants that mounted the BK37's though. With all the variants HTC has been adding lately I thought I would bring this one back on the radar.

[jdbecks]

dont forget to add the 110 with the 37mm cannon whilst HTC give the luftwaffe some loving

[Ruah]

it would actually bring the ju87 back to life now that the Mossie has basically taken the role it never really could occupy but everyone wanted it to. . . like the Gemans did, let us breath new life into this slow but wonderful plane!!

I am also looking forward to the great sound mod that will come with these guns going off. . . shake the town!
