    Pleasesee!

    I just finished reading Hans Ulrich Rudel's "Stuka Pilot"

    What an interesting read!

     

    After that book, my view on the Stuka is quite transformed.

    According to the book, Rudel used anti-tank Stukas right until the end of the war, on the Eastern front.

     

    What surprised me as well was that the Stuka was not quite as helpless as one would have thought.

    I would have thought that much faster and modern fighters would shoot it down at first sight, but apparently the Stuka was so maneuverable that it could slip out of range every time the much faster fighter came in to shoot.

     

    I read the book because apparently it was compulsory literature for the people who ended up designing the A-10. And I can see why.

    Ability to perform in adverse weather under the clouds, slow but maneuverable so that you could identify your targets properly and solidly built so that it could sustain punishment are all things that sounds familiar when considering the A-10.

    Plus of course the ability to take out tanks with 37 mm cannon rounds. wink.gif

     

    I stumbled over this interview video by chance, which confirms the Stuka's ability to maneuver itself out of attacks from seemingly superior attackers:

     

     

    Funny enough, it was the older and slower Hurricane that made problems, because it could follow the turns. But not the faster Spitfire. :)

     

    The interview is part of a long series, that looks quite interesting:

     

    So, to cut things short: A Ju-87 would be a very interesting addition to DCS WW 2. :)

    Cant bind certain functions

    in Controller & Assignment Bugs

    Posted

    I cannot seem to get the view center to stick to any controller, nor can I get the frame rate toggle function to stick, either. Some functions stay and others don't. The controller configuration screen shows that the function is bound to a button, but it doesn't work when flying.

    Reproduced. Win10, Nvidia. Oculus Rift
