Does anyone have any reference info on the way guns were set-up on WWII Fighter planes?
I'm currently reading Bud Andersons book "To fly and fight" and he talks about his squadrons P-51's shooting in a "box" pattern at a convergence of 300m or so. Anyone have any other info regarding other...
Looking for some good reference pictures regarding the BF109 F series, preferably the F4/F4tropical versions.
I'm currently making a in-game 3d texture of a US/RAF captured 109F4. (I'll provide that picture below) Basically I'm looking for pictures that show the typical engine cowlings oil...
Lol incredible war stories as usual!
Can't believe the 88mm round literally cut through the turret like a hot knife thru butter and I definitely can not imagine being in the commander/gunner/loader position either lol

Nevermind I found it...
Either way an absolute INCREDIBLE story! Pretty sure, actually I can guarantee I would have $H!T my pants lol
Looking for help tracking down a video/story of the Sherman tank crew hiding behind a hedgerow who happened to have a Tiger come rolling into them point blank and take a shot, yet they survived and got away. The 88mm gun shot once and ripped a hole/trench through the top of the turret of the M4...
109/190 both are a tie in my eyes OR ears!! Corsair and P-47 get another voting tie for myself, BUT if I could only listen to one engine purr for the rest of my life, it'd be the P-51 merlins....ugh just music to my ears.
My understanding form a different article (can not locate it) was this is being proposed to be a homeland security aircraft. IE: keep it state side here in the US and just have it patrol the borders, opposed to using A-10's and F-35's. Still it's funny how they have described this as being a...
I do agree with you Frantish, much work needs to be done and it has been brought up multiple times to Gaijin about the "bias". I personally feel the biggest problem right now is the tiering system. Earlier this year they had tiers 1-20 which spaced out the planes a little better, however now...
Got ya...you still only playing AB games? If so I'd highly highly recommend playing some RB games especially during the x2/x4 events. Some easy planes to use in RB are Spit MkIIb, P40, Su2/I153/I16, Ki-61 and Mc202 (respectively for each nation of course)
Just a tip. I'll probably be on the...
Everyone playing Ground Forces?
Loving the Russian tank tree only because they are a bit "broken" lol so it's less stressful than playing as Germans and losing every match.
On to the planes, I unlocked the F8F-1 which is as of now pretty good but as a prop plane going against jets....isn't...
Il-2,
I'd normally agree with you however I do believe the German fighter line, both Bf109's and Fw190's, are some of the best for boom and zoom style. Also, I'm not a huge fan of the Naval fighter line. Britain you can kind of get away with both heavy and "light" fighter lines but I'll tell...
