It would probably have broken guns like the 37mm gun of the bf110 G
Whats the BF 110 gun issues mine fires the 37mm fine but the range I think is slightly off like the guns need Zeroed
Im not convinced it is broken. Just thats its HVAP and has really bad post pen damage.
I have killed tanks with it, but yeah doesnt feel good. Really want APHE, HVAP only for 30mms for volume of fire
Still annoyed that the only CAS cannon plane with 30mm which is perfect for HVAP, has HE-APT rounds
So.
As much as I dislike the new bp format which removed gold orders:
It would be nice if, when it’s Axis turn (if ever) that the gold soldiers be Marseille or Hartmann.
As for the beautiful planes, it could easily be skins, since we already have G6
was it Hartmann or another pilot that would have someone else in his squadron fly his plane (marked) and he would fly an unmarked plane…
as to not spook his prey…I gotta remember where I read that and who it was refering to.
Deceased 30 september of 1942, Egypt…
His aircraft suffered a stupid engine failure and he got incapitated by his own aircraft while attempting to bail out so it was just bad luck rather than skill issue.
Yeah i get it, but at least he can talk about someone that survived war.
He was an ace, no doubt, but i have some preference for the ones that didn’t died to call them “the best of…”
Everyone has the right to have their own opinion.
To be honest he is objectively not even as wrong as the people that claim some Russian or American dude with 15 aerial victories the greatest ace.
Well he certainly wasnt the best of “luck”
Why shouldnt we talk about those brave souls whos number came up?
In the end it realllly doesnt matter. Was just a friendly stir. Hartmann is indeed a Legendary fighter ace.
Yes, there are many aces that didn’t survived but got more victories than a lot of “aces” that survived, another thing was that the Luftwaffe was a forever thing, you didn’t just get to go home after any number of succesfull operations.
I love reading and listening to material on many of the Aces of the time. And as Topgun was a favourite childhood movie these two just scream Maverick Iceman
One flys by the seat of his pants, One is patient, icecold no mistakes.
Very different flying styles, abilities and tactics.
We all have our own opinions lets not try and change minds of others and respect one anothers decision
