you tell us how an airplane can fire at a tank, and pull out of a 30 degree dive from 50 meters away.
Try it offline with the Ju87. It was the only way I could make a one shot kill on both T-34. I followed the tactics developed by the end of 1943. It was the only way the Hs129 and Ju87 pilots could find to make the carbide core rounds penetrate the T-34 armor. Carbide was in short supply so these units had to come up with a way to make one pass kills.
In my offline testing I rammed one tank and snapped my tail off on another. Just like the memoirs of the german pilots described happened to some. I was forced just like the WW2 pilots to make a straight approach run so I could time my 30 degree dive, shoot, and pull out. In our game as it is, the computer aided tank commander will kill almost every Ju87 that tries this. The Russians by the time this tactic was developed, were throwing hundreds of tanks into battle with more available ammo than the germans. All Russian tank units knew the tactic the Hs129 and Ju87 would use when attacking them. So why didn't they just rotate the turret and blow the Hs129 and Ju87 out of the air point blank like we do?
If the forum members taking screen captures from the 300 page book that I've been referencing would put up a download link, it has all of the info. They lost Hs129 and Ju87 pilots to miscalculating their pull up. The german unit commander who finally developed the shooting inside of 100m tactic, when teaching the tactic during a demonstration against a captured T-34. Miscalculated his pull up, snapped his tail off and got shipped home in a small wooden box. But, it was the only way to make the carbide rounds pass through the T-34 and other tank's armor to kill the crew or the engine.
The NS-37 AP round doesn't have carbide as the core, so cannot penetrate T-34 and heavier armor in one pass. It shoots at 880m\sec versus the german rounds with carbide core. 30mm 960m\sec and 37mm 1150m\sec.
So have you performed my test offline with the Ju87 yet?
