It's a (supposed) practice video. The person shooting is (supposedly, I dont know a lot of German so I cant tell what they're actually saying in the video) none other than Hans-Ulrich Rudel.
I posted it here a while ago.

This is at the very top of my wishlist.
Actually, the G2, since it had 20mm's in the wings instead of 7,92mm's.

I'd give it a try - the slow speed and stability of the stuka coupled with those 2 BK-37s looked like it worked pretty well.  Both cannons firing at once was a pretty awesome sight to see.  Those 37mms must be a lot more powerful than the average german cannon given the explosions and wrecked T-34s in the videos....

BK-37 Ammo
« Reply #23 on: February 23, 2008, 07:25:33 PM »
These cannons used some high-end ammo:
37mm x 263mm long

The AP had a 16mm tungsten core that could penetrate 130mm of armor plate at 100m (1,170m/s muzzle velocity).  No wonder it was such an effective tank killer.  

The HE ammo was a bigger variant of the german mine ammo - which meant that it had just enough front to penetrate a little bit of armor before going up in a big bang.  The youtube video of the attack on the barge looks like they were using this HE ammo, and it is making some impressive bangs.  

Sign me up for one of these....

The BK37 on the G-1/2 is similar to the 37mm gun on the Ostwind IIRC.

Better hope you're a good shot, think the Flak 18 cannon only carried 6 or 12 rounds in each pod.

Currently, with the Ju87, you only have three chances... with 6 shots your doubling the odds. I'll take it :aok
