Did you know...? (re. pre 1940 stuff)
« on: July 14, 2003, 05:58:17 PM »
That a Ju88 loaded with just 50kg bombs and flown with the undercarriage down and the dive brakes deployed seems to have a similar performance to the Ju52, star heavy bomber of the Spanish Civil War?

So... what I'm wondering is whether perhaps some of the other planes in Ah could be similarly (mis)used to represent planes of that period. the Val and Ju87 could stand in for  twin-MG fighters, as could the US divebomber...  I'm wondering whether the A6M and C202 would be a bit over the top as stand-ins for the Mosca/Rata and Bf109D, though...
