Hmm.... The format is obviously messed up but you get the idea. I'll try to find that link if anyone's interested.//Aui [This message has been edited by Aui (edited 02-06-2000).] IP: Logged |

Found it!
http://members.aol.com/dheitm8612/breed.htm Didn't have time to read it through completely yesterday but now I can tell this really is interesting for FM and DM work. An example from the Fw-190A:
"....was the oil cooler system which was a number of finned tubes shaped into a ring of tubes a little larger in diameter than the cooling fan. This ring was fitted into the rounded front portion of the cowling just aft of the fan.
I don't think this was a good idea. For example, my principal aiming point was always the forward portion of an enemy ship; the engine, cockpit, wing root section. If you get any hits at all, even only a few, you're bound to put one or two slugs into the engine compartment. Having a couple of bullets riccochet off the engine block and tear up some ignition harness is not too bad at all, at least not fatal. But to have all those thin-walled oil cooling tubes ahead of the engine is bad news. Any hits or riccochets in the engine section are bound to puncture the oil tubes. Then the whole engine is immersed in oil spray, and sometimes it would flash over into a fire. All of the 12 Focke-Wulfs that I shot down sent off a trail of dense, boiling oil smoke heavy enough to fog up my gun camera lens and windshield if I were so close. "
The work seems to be from ' Airpower, July 1976 - Vol.6 No.4 by Col. "Kit" Carson '. Unfortunatly the docs I have aren't completed yet and only covers the Bf109E, 109G and the Fw-190A, but it hopefully seems that info on the Ju88 and the Me110 will follow.

Also in the same doc (about the 190).
On another occasion, I jumped one directly over the city of Paris and fired all my ammo, but
he was only smoking heavily after a long chase over the town. Assuming I was getting 10 percent hits, that airplane must have had 200 holes in it. It was a rugged machine.
