And he didn't complain about the really sneaky tank drivers who turn their armored front end into your guns just as your guns run begins, saving themselves from a busted engine.

Lucifer,

I complained about the skeet shooting ability commander mode gives a tanker years ago. Tankers complained about my ability to crack their engine hatches with my IL2, then skeet shot me. I adapted to the skeet shooting with a steeper guns run angle, and they adapted to me by turning their tank into my guns run which wastes my ammo.

Since you are using HE ammo in the B25, shoot from farther out. The IL2 and Ju87 need to be inside of 300 for effective penetration of their AP rounds.

Say Hitech, any chance you will give Waffle the go on the Hs 129 with 30mm cannon....... :lol

Lucifer, were you in the B-17's I shot down last week in my T-34, or was that someone else?    :evil:

That is a shame. If you did, you'd see that all my ditches 10^-7 feet short of the runway were actually safe landings.

First off, 600kph is not all that fast. The human eye is perfectly capable of tracking objects at such speed. If you're imagining things just being a big blur as you pass, you're stupid.

Likely your only real world example is a car, and only experience this with objects closer than 10m or so. You're likely flying your plane at close to 150-200m, or more than 10 times the distance, while your speed is likely not even 6 times as great.



Second, unless you're flying perpendicular to the vehicle's direction of view, your speed is fairly irrelevant to shooting you down. You fly straight down their sights, they don't have to compensate for your speed, they have to compensate for your rate of descent, and that's about it.

I think probably more than half of these so-called "main gun kills" are merely the result of
the gamey "fire the tank gun into the dirt" tactic where the strafing plane is so low that
the tank gun HE blast knocks it out...of course leaving the tank and crew completely
unaffected.
