| Not to turn this into a different topic or anything, but the 37mm cannons the Stuka's carried. How many rounds did each gun carry and what was the rate of fire?

| As far as I know each cannon carried a six round magazine of tungsten core cannon-shells. Theres an amazing bit of war footage of these cannon-birds over the Kuban lagoons in 1943 taking out landing craft. I think its somewhere on this site...don't know where tho,. Sorry. |

It might sound implausible, given the size of the airplane, the shell, and all that sky, but you have to remember the numbers in which artillery was employed, especially in the First World War. During artillery duels in both the First and Second World War, between two sizeable artillery units, it was not unheard of for shells to strike each other in midair and explode spectacularly. A plane in the middle of that... I shudder to think. Also, this comic is excellent, if only because the subject matter is something I almost never see. On top of that, though, the art really is slick. Some of this would make awesome avatars. What's the name/screenname of the artist/author? Do they have a Deviantart or other personal website that is alive and well? You can consider me a fan. Pass on my compliments, if you can. | |
