Title: Stuka w/ 37mm - guncam
Post by: Chairboy on May 01, 2007, 09:48:50 AM

We all love the 37mm HE cannon on the Stuga G, right?  Check out some guncam footage of it being used.

Hitech, hope you're watching!  The explosions look a bit different than in-game:

The explosions were a bit misleading..they said the fuses were made to explode when they hit water..so you get a much more water spout affect...talk about potato lobbing; )


Im am a very big fan of large cannon birds..

Guesswe are just stuck with the 40 mils Huuri D..

Thos erounds were HUGE..and SLOWW>.

Great sound too..Sounded like a Tank Gun..


Nice link thnk u

Great footage, and some spectacular explosions.

The announcer indicates that these attacks are all taking place in the Kuban Lagoon area. The only thing I found curious was that none of the targets (including the boats) appeared to be moving and there was no evidence that I could see of secondary explosions or AA fire. This could simply mean they were doing supply interdiction, shooting non-military targets, or could it have been merely "target practice" repackaged for the newsreel? Dunno.  

Awesome firepower, but not much good unless you have air superiority.

Incidentally, for some other German WW2 newsreels try: http://www.ww2wochenschau.com/

In the last video in particular, its obvious that the Germans are losing, especially when every plane you see in action is Russian (PE2s and IL2s are all over the place) but there is an attempt to turn it into some sort of modern Niebelungenlied.  

EDIT: Looks like a brief shot of Stukas attacking Soviet tanks in the last vid as well.

You just have to know how to use the 40's on the Hurri D.  If there's one thing I miss more about AH2 then anything else is returning to base with 7-8 tank kills in my HurriD.

You don't even have to get to any altitude.  Just skim the ground at 20-100 feet, and follow the terrain.  BAM, suddenly the attack force has a Hurri D right  ontop of them tearing **** apart.

Ah, good times.

Sure thing.

BTW - if you only watch one of the videos, watch this one. British Blenheims(?) or Beauforts attacking a German convoy, some incredibly brave pilots - you can actually see 20mm and 12.7 strikes on the planes as they go over the ships at incredibly low level

LOL, Seagoon not sure if you're aware of it but some pretty interesting videos show up after you watch the nOOb ackers missing the Blenheims.
