the RUSSIAN Stormavik was a key plane in the Soviet arsenal
great aircraft
Tank killer
Bet you never seen a S-3 Viking with a gun pod... ^^;
gun pod? nope
20mms? yes
ME 262
Technically more of an interceptor
^o^
for a jet yes.. for a PROP plane its the Focke wolfe LONGNOSE
4 ... 30MM cannon for downing bombers
and 600 mph
100 to 120 mph faster than anything we had
there are a few pilots who actually shot down ME262s
most were shot down on landing the jets.. they were slow and sluggish at low speeds
Lots of planes today
The 262's were expensive and end-game, they didn't have the numbers
Too risky to fly over enemy territory with
Rattled like fuck at high speed
They did a few missions Right at the very end of the war with them
They briefly rebased in Holland 2 weeks before Germany surrendered
Here's a brit Jet April 1945
sheeple.. those were used primarily for downing the V1 Buzzbombs because they were fast enuf
Yes
But too slow to intercept a V2
Oo yeah almost 6000 mph for V2
Don't forget the V3
Staged combustion cannon
Were it completed they would have fired these at the rate of 1 every 6 seconds on Britain
they also made a CANNON in many sections that could reach all the way to LONDON but aircraft found the site before it was finished and bombed it effectively
IT WAS HUGE
Two train tracks went into the facility
