I'm a fan of German things too, like the, uh, German rocket plane with fuel that melts the pilot if there's a leak.

That's pretty funny, @Restrisiko.
But rumor would have it that modern Germany can't build a U-boat that leaves the dock more than once a year, or a frigate or destroyer that fulfills its NATO ASW mission.
China, on the other hand, seems to be building a navy built for trouble.

to be fair, the 262 was a jet fighter, not a rocket fighter. Still, it got downed by a Mustang.

I would presume they mean the Me 162, though they could very easily just be clueless from what I have seen on this forum....NukeRaider33 wrote:

the 162 was a Heinkel, not a Messerschmitt. Therefor, it is the He 162, not Me162Quasi-duck wrote:

Actually the Me 163, the 162 was Heinkel's "People's Fighter".Quasi-duck wrote:

I knew that just all the damn numbers in my head get mixed up lol. Trying to remember M4 variants alone makes my head spin with all the alterations and experiments. M4A3E2 god damn it, what does that even mean? Model 4 Alteration 3 Experiment 2 and no other info fml.injinji wrote:

The plane in the video looks more like a 262 than a 163... for example, it has two engines...?

That's because it is haha. I'm surprised I know that though after my last aircraft blunderK.Rokossovski wrote:

Apart from the overly dramatized movie clip about the Tuskegee Redtails, most Me 262s that were shot down were lost because the U.S. Army Air Corps and RAF had overwhelming air superiority by weight of numbers. As a first-generation jet fighter, the Me 262 was faster and generally better than anything else flying -- with the possible exception of the British first-gen jet, which the RAF withheld from aerial combat over Germany to deal with V-1 buzz bombs -- but the best propeller-driven Allied fighters were often quicker in turns and almost as fast in dives. Still, the flood-the-zone tactics of the Allies meant the western air forces would simply do their best to protect their heavy bombers with P-51s and P-47s, and then use separate hunter-killer fighter wings to jump the Me 262s when they were out of fuel and returning from their bomber interception missions. There are numerous instances of Me 262s being bounced by Allied fighters as they were landing.
By late 1944, the Me 262, for all of its technological innovation, was simply too damn late to make a real difference. Even with greater operational numbers than were actually available, the Luftwaffe no longer had the fuel or the experienced pilots, both of which the Allies had plenty. The Me 163, on the other hand, was a complete operational failure that killed more of its own pilots than it did Allied bombers.

...let's get this thread back on track - pun intended... Identify model and theatre of operations.

Ok, that was the easy part. Model, theatre of ops?
Tanki Junky? Anyone?
26 Feb 2018, 23:36
Model, I am not sure. I am tempted to say StuG III but I know it is wrong, and I have learned the model before. I just can't remember it. Pretty sure it is a homemade Finnish combat vehicle.SuomiHunajaa wrote:
Model,
For this I would imagine the Soviet-Finnish front near Leningrad but that is just a guess.SuomiHunajaa wrote:

27 Feb 2018, 01:36
It's indeed a StuG III, variant G. (Sturmgeschütz III Ausf. G )They formed the backbone of the (only) Armoured Division of the Finns. About 60 of these were in use by the Finnish Army by the end of WW II.
The PsD (Finnish abbrev. ) were the C-in-C's reserve and did not see much fighting until the after the Leningrad siege was broken and the Soviets turned to offensive ops again.
There you go. Learn something every day.
The table in the link here shows what a hotchpotch affair the Finnish armoured equipment consisted of.

Next question (just the model for this one).
27 Feb 2018, 01:59
Another one from me (not a Mustang

A Soviet T-28. A pre-war design for an infantry support medium tank, though this concept was mostly abolished when the war actually started. Most remaining ones were lost during Barbarossa.SuomiHunajaa wrote:

It's not a Martin-Baker M.B. 5 is it? I only know it because I read what the planned updates are for War Thunder.injinji wrote:
