I'm going to guess that he didn't just jump out of a perfectly good airplane, though...lol

 

[sturmer]

the onboard engineer decided to try to recuperate the engine for a quick fix

Here's some cool shots I grabbed while making my movie.

One is a shot-up Fw190D-9 just before the point of impact.

Got a good angle of a B-17G going down.

And for RedBeard, here's a shot of your "Big Red" putting the hurt on a Bf109G-10, "up close, and personal" (yes I was flying Big Red...which explains the relative distances involved). In the movie, "Big Red" makes an appearance at the 3:15 mark, but because of the time frame involved, I had to go with the wide-angle to get the whole scene...

I was testing the effects that the weapons have on the aircraft's speed today (for the Gun Recoil? thread), and ended up with a cool screenshot of my Ju87G lit-up

 

[lesofprimus]

Great shot but where are ur national markings??? U in a spy plane or somethin??

 

[GrauGeist]

For the test mission, I ran my personal Afrika skin.

I have other Afrika skins that have more traditional markings, but this skin has a combination of DAK and Luftwaffe NA and is used for the most part when I go-a-killin' with my cohorts

Here's a shot showing both of my unmarked personal winter schemes:

 

[sturmer]

those are some nice looking skins mate

 

[KrazyKraut]

Too bad the Ju 87 G is totally useless though. Can't kill anything but the lightest tanks in this game.

 

[lesofprimus]

It is rather frustrating when one single 60lb rocket from a Tempest can knock out 3 PzIV's, but 4 37mm rounds dont dent a T-34........

 

[GrauGeist]

I've had pretty good success at killing tanks of all types, especially if I follow Rudel's teachings.

I've taken out such ground-targets as tanks, vehicles, aircraft, artillery, ships, bridges, buildings and occasionally, aircraft when I have to defend myself.

The 37mm has good range and good hitting power, but closer is better. If you attack a tank, attack from behind and a little bit above. All tanks have weaker armor in the rear and on top. The tank is designed to confront an enemy tank, so it's armor is at it's thickest in front. The sides are reasonably thick to offer it protection in a running battle. So always aim for the rear or if possible, hit it from above!

Ships can be taken out either by hitting them below the waterline where thier armor is thinner or from directly above. Diving is what a Stuka does best, take advantage of it! Landing hits on a ship from above will hole a ship faster than anything.

And the Stuka is just great fun to fly. It's very forgiving and you'd be surprised how well it can turn if you have to avoid enemy aircraft.

Don't forget trains.... they go *POP* real good if you hit 'em right...

I'll try harder to remember where you are next time though
