chobit-389 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 In Warthunder the J8M only has 4 minutes of fuel, but you can stretch that out if you use it as it was meant to be flown; a rocket-assist glider.And a Reisen (Zero or Zeke to you who use American ID naming) is surprisingly solid if you know how to dance. And ANY aircraft can be taken out with a few well placed shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ANY aircraft can be taken out with a few well placed shotsTrue, but the Zero/Reisen did have a much more lighter armour than other fighters. A few shots anywhere on it would take it out, so a quick snapshot could take it out rather than just damage another, heavier plane. It would be more vulnerable to any shots, as a result of the armour, small arms included. One was shot down with a BAR from a C-47 once. I think the elevators would lock up if the Zero/Reisen went to fast though. It was one of the best carrier fighters of WW2 with a 12:1 Kill ratio as a result of its legendary manoeuvrability though.

LeonG17 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Likely the only kill for a C-47. But it was a good transport. Which is better, the C-47 or the Ju-52? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chobit-389 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Can't really say. Both were great in their role, however you don't hear much about the 52 because Germany lost the war and America rubs that in everyone's faces, so all you ever see is C-47s. (In face the only time I can remember seeing a Ju-52 in a film was in Where Eagles Dare, plus that time one of the last 52s in existence flew over my house one day)[EDIT]: *sees post above* ........whut.

So, what, does that make Wheatly Chell's son or something?Shame that people ignored the axis aircraft after WW2. There were some very interesting ones like the wooden He162 or the world first jet bomber-Ar 234 Blitz. Or even the Me 163 Komet. It would be nice to see that surviving 52. The earlier aircraft like the Bf 109 or the Fw 190 are interesting as well...And also, WHAT!?!?!?!?Edit: Nice flag, like the design of the eagle on it.

satcharna Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 The Ilyushin Il-2 Shturmovik was clearly the best aircraft. Cheap, simple and equipped with big guns. A massive logistics advantage over the multitude of models and variety of upgrades everyone else had on the field at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonG17 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Yes, the Il-2 Shturmovik was a great ground attack aircraft but it was extremely vunreable. The experiences of german pilots fighting them is also very intresting. Erich Hartmann, who had 352 victories, said about them in a interview about his time on the eastern front: "flew like B-17 in formation and didn't attempt to make any evasive manoeuvres. And all they had was one peashooter in the back of each plane. The peashooter was no threat unless they had a very lucky hit on you. I didn't open fire til the filled my whole windscreen. If I did this, I would get one every time." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satcharna Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 This is a Tupolev TB-3 with three Polikarpov I-5 strapped to the wings. Your argument is invalid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonG17 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Because they were the I-15 and I-16, outdated biplane and early monoplanes. Had 4 .303 calibre machine guns each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
