"Flying through the enemy's hangar" used to be a regular squad op for the EZ Targets.  It's more fun in a furball when someone's on your six and you can't shake him, because most of the time he'll either break off or crash.  That's uh, on the premise that you survive, too.  In WBs, I used to do a hangar fly through in a goon after a field capture, always a tight squeeze.

Managed to make it couple of times with a fighter but then someone (you?) did it w/ Ju52. I also tried few times and every mission like that successfully failed...   :D

I haven't done this in a long time and was never able to accomplish the "stunt" but I was trying to refine my gunnery skills by shooting off the wing tips of all the online drones.

We didn't call it a stunt, but we used to roll stukas in MW and shoot our wheels off. Then we would go fight against all the fighters in a furball. I once landed 8 kills in one flight.

Stuka turns pretty well in low alt and speed, especially w/ flaps. If AH had D version w/ 20mm wing cannons, 1000 rpg, it would be quite capable for many tasks.

In WB I asked to have 20 mm pilot cannon in JU88 and to update JU87 to version D5, which has 20mm in wings instead of 7.9 peashooters. Both materialized and at first mission w/ 20mm JU88, I shot down 4 fighters when guarding a closed base and waiting for troops to arrive.

Yes.... the guns on a Stuka require holding shots till you can place them in one area for a good volley. Often requiring more hits in the same spot on follow up passes.
