both 37mm Flak 18 guns carried 6 rounds and was usually a one hit kill gun.

cc...if you hit in the engine compartment, from behind where armor is weakest. Even Hans Ulrich Rudel had trouble at 1st to get results with this plane. Eventually, he did very good with it, but it required superior marksmanship. For the average LW pilot, the big bombs were easier to use.

But don't get me wrong....I want this plane too ;)

Edited for typos.

Post by: bigUC on January 29, 2002, 09:18:34 AM: ... and both versions please. Guns & Bombs! I don't care if some people burps "MA survivability!". That is NOT an issue which should decide what planes we get with each release. (And usually it's the same people whining about the Stuka who wants the P-40)

Post by: Sancho on January 30, 2002, 02:48:07 AM: yep, MA survivability shouldn't be an issue. it will be meat on the table for any fighter, just like the il-2. but with air superiority against the occasional ground attack, this plane will be very fun to fly.

BTW, wasn't there a BFG option for the 190F-8?

Post by: Wotan on January 30, 2002, 03:27:24 AM: i dont believe there was a bfg option for the f8. they tried mounting underwing mk103 cannon on the f8 but it was a failure.

Post by: Wotan on January 30, 2002, 03:30:52 AM: one other thing rudel killed the majority of his tanks in the g model.

Accurrate dive bombing in the eastern front was tough.

Spotting a tank from a height great enough to allow dive bombing was near impossible

I think it was other way around. Bombs are hard to aim against moving targets, even in dive.

High velocity guns can be fired from low and close, requiring no need for calculating lead. All you need to do is to place aimpoint to tank and let loose.
