Title: Shalow Angle dive bombing In the Ar 234
Post by: brady on August 07, 2002, 05:22:11 AM

In the book: The German Jets In Combat by  Jeffrey Ethell and Alfred Price, It recounts how the IIIrd Gruppe of Kampfgeschwader 76 used the shalow dive atack to bomb, in fact that is almost the only method they used operationaly. Lukesh (the unit comander) favored such atacks because of the safty and the accuracy affored to them by doing so. The method of sighting for this type of attack was the use of the perescope, which had a dual function as a Dive bomb sight, and as a sight for the rear cannons.

  I realy feal that if somthing could be done to represent this sight in AH for the AR 234 it would bring back the Ar 234's usefullness, and restore it's place as a viable perk platform.

 The Perescope sight is clearly visable in the upper r/h corner of this pic:
