  1. Sturmoviks please. Chieftan Military History Visualized and Mark Felton are all doing tanks already and so is Lindy Beige as well as the British History Museum. In contrast few people are covering the air war in the east in English.

  4.  @TheImperatorKnight  it's the tactical maneuver the US used to overcome the more maneuverable zero. Pilot 1 lures zero as bait pilot 2 comes in for kill. It's a bit more complicated than that but that's the idea.

  8. So why are you asking if he is briitish or explaining he is not an american to people complaining about something of which they are ignorant? You know? True story. FSB offered to take me in as an exile. Best part? It would either be a bullet or champagne for me thereafter!

  10. my favorite historical trivia? Sturmoviks on CAP! lololol can't outmaneuver but maybe can take a hit ...or ten. I don't think Stukas were ever used on CAP but at least once Val's were. (SBDs often were but they were actually designed for that unlike Strumoviks and Vals...)

  12. I feel horribly badly for Westerners who don't understand Russian military leadership or leadership style. Because yeah you can have your ass handed to you OR win a medal; you CAN take the initiative but then you risk all the consequences - good and bad. In contrast if you don't take the initiative you don't get the champagne but you also don't get prison time.

  15. that's untrue. German elite pilots were able to operate even into 1945 and lots of 100+ kill German pilots survived the war. In contrast yeah by 1944 poor training meant new German fighter pilots were cold meat. But the elite veteran pilots largely survived the war and even formed the core of the post-war Luftwaffe.
