German bombers so much tougher than RAF bombers?

[5./JG27.Farber]

I shot a wing off a He 111 with a spitfire other times you pump it all in and nothing happens. Its heavily reliant on convergence.

It always is with wing guns, but there are sweetspots on the bombers.

Thanks Macro, I'll give that a try. (Can't see those pics Slip, my work is blocking them!)

108 hits from a Spit I to down a Br.20

I think I can manage that, but where to put them is the crux.....

He111 wings are huge with 2 steel spars running through them.

Compared to the Blehiems wing which is thinner and weaker.

Blenhiem wing with control surfaces



So comparing bombers, as has been done in this thread, you need to remember the difference in size and strength.

HE111 wings without control surfaces.



They could take a lot of punishment.

Wow, must have been a horror for the red pilot. Even in the game, it is tricky to not close too quickly sometimes.

Taran probably.

edit: we can even calculate the aircraft closing speed It will show tht closing rate was fairly low.

and thats not a lot of trigger time assuming that those guns are firing close to 1200 RPM if those are the ones I'm thinking of.
