Der Grosse Schlag, what's going on anyway?

[Guppy35]

Silly person.  We know that ROC is just a myth, kinda like the Luftwaffe in the Fall of 1944.  Guppies on the other hand are a dime a dozen and found everywhere including Mustangs over Germany in the Fall of 1944 

It was a nice try though

Interesting reactions to ROC's picture of a fencer.  It seems like the Allies are nervous about something...

[TwinBoom]

The AXIS guys with only see this at their 6

Notice it says "at their 6" not "on their 6", that becouse they are flying away from us, leaving the allied buffs to be slaughtered at our leisure

No axis planes in that pic.... they are all smoldering on the ground.

The Axis doesn't use fencing analogies, but you may have been confused by the prevailing opinion that the Allied attacks will be foiled.  Personally, I prefer "thwarted" or "crushed" to avoid these kinds of miscommunications. 

If anything, ROC's piloten would be better described as weapons of mass destruction.

Ahhh Yep.. of the own planes.

Evaluating a different data set (the Bestandsmeldungen from early 1942 to December 1944), I have been able to compare the relation between losses through enemy action and other operational losses for the Me 109 and the Fw 190 for all units of the Luftwaffe for the time period in question.

(Data source: Flugzeugbestand und Bewegungsmeldungen, 3.42 - 12.44 )

The results:

Me 109: 9681 losses to enemy action, 8791 other losses - 47.6% of the losses are without enemy action
Fw 190: 5389 losses to enemy action, 4934 other losses - 48.8% of the losses are without enemy action

During Battle Over Germany there were a couple runs where entire buff formations were wiped out to a plane before reaching their target. Hhmmm

Boo

  They were found with no escorts and killed in about 45 second I believe, still have the film of that also pretty epic something like 24 B24s.
