Didnt like it, 1: Flight model was inaccurate and I'm pretty sure m00t isn't japanese.

2: It's manga, which stinks all around.

3: Revert to #2.

Japanese videos are really creepy :noid

I think it's somewhat accurate. 

Why would Allies deploy clipped wing spits (Spit 16?) at hi altitude.  They're easy picking by Ta-152.

Probably because those weren't 16s but clipped wing Spitfire XIIs of 41 squadron  EB-D is MB858 and it flew the last Spit XII sortie in September 44 and never would have encountered a TA152 :)  MB858 survived the war too btw so the cartoon guys are full of it.  The second Spit XII is EB-E and that was MB862 and that one didn't get shot down either.  Typical LW creative kill claims :)

41 squadron would have been in fill span wing Spitfire XIVs by that time.

But then again that's just a cartoon :)

It's a japanese anime Guppy.. The whole thing is like AH, what-if all around.  Science Fiction,  or "speculative fiction".  I like the paintjob though.

I didnt know the Germans had a 4 engine bomber, and (perhaps incorrect on my part) I thought the rotating ball turret on bombers was a concept unique to American bombers until after the war.

And guess what - It's B17's :)

It's obviously a fantasy cartoon. I doubt any of that was based on fact in the slightest bit.
I mean, the Ta152's were black, and had art similar to JG52's (except the sword was upside down). C'mon.

That was pretty cool though :aok

It could be an instructional video on how not to attack bombers, or how not to engage a 152, in fact the noob spits didnt even try to ho or stick stir :P :P

not true the lanc had a ball turret but were removed to save weight and were not needed at night
