Must read for Stuka pilots

I was fascinated by this read. I had doubts at first due to the source and the fact that the pilots names aren't even addressed, but the level of detail explained, all the little details convinces me otherwise. I did email him asking for some more information (the scanned documents, etc, etc), so hopefully he'll get back to me.

It's a long one, but the information is outstanding Especially the fact that they started their dive from 4000m, and sometimes dropped them at 500, I would have never known!

Very interesting read, and it shows that the gun effectiveness might not be over done like I initial thought. I have on some occations manage to damage enemy attacker with forward gun and back gunner in such degree that he had to ditch. I start to really believe this game is pretty accurate in terms of DM and effectiveness

Thank you for sharing

I note that the Stuka were flying at 1000 - 2000 m lowest and ususally 4000 m, and in the campaign, for intercept mission, we meet them at 500 m.

I hope 777 will correct this to add more flavour to the campaign

They also seem to have operated in staffel formation, much more than the 4 stuka we usually see

Great read, thanks.
