• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Entertaining video

Fun video and agree about the graphics. Also, AFAIK, the BC bombers were not flying in formation as would the USAAF B17s, but more like a steady stream; flying in close formation at night would be dangerous. Correct me Ted, but didn't the later Bf110's have only the pilot and Bordfunker? In CFS3, the pilot operates the 'schragemusik' cannon, and IIRC, the old back facing guns were removed?

James,

I am not sure about the removal of the third crew person. It would make sense as I have never read the defensive guns being useful against another nightfighter, have you? Also, I have read that they did fire at bombers, but again nevr credited for a kill or damage.

Just checked my Schnaufer biography for that night, and I see no mention of an aft gunner, only schragemusik and forward facing guns operated by Schnaufer.
