Henschel Hs 129

[rapp25]

Not a very common aircraft during WW2 but it would add a german tankbuster to the sky if they arent willing to give us the stuka with 37mms!

Ohhhh. If I could get my hands on that 37mm.....

+1 Early War German attack aircraft!

You'd have a better chance of survival in a Ju 87 than you would in a Hs 129 B-3.  With the Bordkanone BK 7.5 on the B-3, it was barely flyable.  You'd be fodder for any plane with a gun and no chance to maneuver to avoid the attack since you wouldn't be able to.

just give us the ju-87 tank-buster loadout!!!!

I have a feeling that when the Ju87 is updated, they will add that plane.

[Pigslilspaz]

I have always thought the 129 was one of the best looking planes there were

     You know a plane needs work when they have to mount gauges and gunsight OUTSIDE

The brewster wasn't so hot either. Ack-ack has a point so we'll settle for the b2 variant!

Just out of idle curiousity, does anyone know how the 37mm and 40mm anti tank cannons compared penetration-wise on the Hurri IID, Il-2/37, Ju 87G and the Hs 129?

@ rapp, the Brewster has one of the highest k to d ratios in the history aerial warfare if i remember correctly...

Against planes called the varnished flying coffin and i-16!!! I bet the finns were better pilots too. References of it aginst the japanese were quite different or ask the dutch air force of ww2.

Success is success, I can see the Hs-129 getting into AH in the future, but when we have more early planes that wonk make such quick work of it
