How attack Stuka's

[Sokol1]

Without end with its engine on fire. 

 

From Russian "инструкция по воздушному бою истребительной авиации (ивбиа-45)" (Instruction air combat fighter aircraft (?????-45) manual.

I sat in the gunners position and tried out the field of fire to answer that question for myself.

 

Nice diagram, thanks for sharing.

Much needed. Thanks for the diagram.

Which is why they always dive to ground level,  grrrr

Thanks a lot for the manual! There's also some stuff about attack He111?

I'm having a lot of trouble shooting those damn stukas, they always shoot my engine.

So the advice is to boom'n'zoom from below or what?

anyone have any advice other than that? 

How do I work out how much to lead (since the aim assist is broken...)?

[Uriah]

I'm a poor fighter pilot but I will only attack those things by coming up behind and below and if I ever overshoot and end up above then I flip over and dive as fast as I can.

 

On approach I get real close and with them 70 degrees overhead. After they are on the deck it is pretty hard.
