I have found new means of fun.
« on: October 16, 2017, 07:53:27 AM »
For over 8 years now and (still even today) I have been all about the air battling. Up until recently I have found a new love. Killing tanks in a Ju-87g2. It’s extremely satisfying and somewhat challenging. 7/7 recommend trying this if you are board with some aspect of the game.

Also. Mosquitos are BA.  One of my new fav planes. Try one

Ju-87g2 is for Girls. Real men use the Hurri IID with the 40MM AP of doom!  :aok  We will have to compare notes.  I have had zero luck cracking Tigers, and T-34/76's take some work.  Everything else is a tasty treat.  :devil

Only slipper wearing-housecoat lovers use the lame-o Hurri IID. Real pilots use the B-25 with the 75mm potato gun. :banana:

Personally I have more luck with the hurricane 2D. Although recently I have been doing surprisingly well with the 110. With a lot of luck I killed 4 tanks in one sortie with it, guns only. 1 m8 (no challenge), 1 panzer, 1 m18, 1 wirb. The panzer was the surprise kill. Didn’t think the 30mm could crack it.

I have busted Wirbels with the 37mm HE on the YakT (straight down into turret) but never a Panzer.  Where did you hit it?  :headscratch:

It took two or three passes, but it popped when I was shooting at about a 40 degree angle into the engine from the rear. It shocked me because I didn’t think it was possible.

I've busted T-34's with the Yak 9T, so it's quite doable. :)

Also: 87G is a true man's machine.  Once you at there, you are stuck there until everything is dead.  All or nothing. :D

The guns of the Ju-87G are superior to the Hurri D, but they are more difficult to employ (slower, less maneuverable plane, angle of impact playes a much greater role with the Junkers than with the Hurri D). Also, no MG to shoot the running troops ;)

When vehicles first came out, you could kill panzers with the 30mm mk108.

Things have changed alot and I doubt the kill was due to the 30mm,Becinhu, probably someone else shot at it with a tank or they just ended sortie.

GV hunting in the G2 is a blast, one of my favorite things to do in game. I can open up a Sherman like a can of tuna with it   :aok

 Back in AH2 I used to constantly pop tank engines with the 37 on the 9T. Have not tried it much in AH3 and I can already see where it is much more difficult due to the updated terrain (tree's)  but I will be giving it a go in the future. :)
