The Fw 189 Uhu would be completely useless in AH, even if it is pretty cool. That armored ground attack version would have been fun, but instead the Germans fielded this plane:



The Hs 129 Panzerknacker.


75 mm PaK 40 anti tank gun :O





If you thought the 109 cockpit was a tight fit...



They had to mount the gun sight on the outside!


It's also one of those lucky few twins to have counter-rotating engines that cancel out torque. Must be nice when you're twisting and turning close to the ground.

Yes I like it it was a very fast recon plane.

Yeah, at 222mph it was shattering all sort of speed records.  :rolleyes:

75mm Pak 40 - bet firing that made those suckers SLOW down a wee bit!! - ya'd think it might almost bring em to a full stall point. heheh

The Ju87g's had twin 37mm pods but this is an amazing armament!!

thanx for the info - will we be seeing it here anytime soon?   LOL

cheers eh!

Yeah, it's not like it was fast in the first place. It was in many ways a German Sturmovik: Big, armored, lumbering beast that packed a mighty punch.

"Hey Gunther Von Hacksaw, I got an idea:  Lets take that crashed P-38, put the wings on it from that crashed C-47 and put a hatchback car sitting backwards right in the middle of it.  The Fuhrer will love it!"  :D

That is one wierd looking flying machine.
If you think that's weird looking, look at the design it beat out.
