TA, I was referring to the in-between close air support and strategic bombing, like bombing bridges, bombing supply depots, bombing defensive...
With (more or less) 25% to 50 % of the payload, half the range, a crew of 2 and no bombsight, I doubt it.
I don't think a dedicated tank buster with big guns, like the Ju-87 G, is THAT important. An attack plane with bomb or air to ground rockets (but...
lol ! good one, Slo ! @ Carl : the difference is that Chavez didn't cheat with last vote and got beaten ! I'm sure that today he thinks "Screw...
I was talking about cattle as a joke, because the 'Stable' country was mentioned above - stable is the home of cattle ;) Anyways, I don't say...
I can understand Russia is still in a democratic transition, with parts of the former empire being very unsecure, but I find it hard to believe...
@ Bigfun Well...I saw this post on top of the list, I thought it was a brand new post, but it turns out Slipdigit had just dug out a more than 3...

Sturmkreuz you said that other people should be judged first, which translates as these nazis don't have to be judged unless some other people are...
So, if you can't judge all alleged criminals, either because some are very good at hiding themselves, or some are not being prosecuted, or because...
Exactly. WWII tank warfare was not a one versus one medieval tournament with the 2 knights facing each other at a settled distance and starting...
What do you say guys ? Do we allow Za a short journey at the rear for rest and recreation, or do we order him to stay in the front line trench ? ;)
Congratulations, Otto !
Exactly, and if the USSR have had atomic bombs in 1941, the Germans would have captured the nuclear facilities and developped their own atomic...
I don't know why some bastards would be rewarded, because they've been good at hiding themselves, like the unassuming cowards they are.
The power difference, if any, is neglectible. Semi auto makes a huge difference. M-1 all the way !
@ Slon : yak-3 ;) @ Erich : about the Li-2, this paintscheme is very unlikely to be a late war night bomber paintscheme, because during late...
