« on: March 08, 2016, 08:19:50 AM »

I read a little about this plane called the Ju 88 p1 but couldn't find a whole lot about it from what i gather it was a tank buster
i have a vague memory of it being in MSCFS 3

i was mostly interested in how it preformed i would imagine similar as a more powerful Hs-129, however i would think it would have been much more vulnerable to ground fire due to the liquid cooled engines

oh wow. i saw something yesterday similar but it was way bigger.

Late war German 2 engine bomber with remote control turrets, and a MASSIVE (This thing was HUGE folks.) gun attached underneath. i think it had like 8 muzzle brakes plus a chamber in the rear of the gun to manage recoil (LOL) it looked like a really long pipe under the plane. I think they only mounted it and were able to test it. I saw 2 photos and a drawing.

The bomber is here on the site somewhere (minus gun) the cockpit looks like a big bulge, with slender body. I forget the planes name dang!!

Yep,
 that was the Gerät 104 "Münchhausen" - recoilless cannon

http://luftwaffelovers.blogspot.pt/2016/03/another-luftwaffe-dream-gerat-104.html

German experimental weapon designed to destroy heavy ships. Caliber 356 mm allow to penetrate the hull of
 the roughest British battleships. It uses a solution, leveling the recoil caused by gas pressure when fired.
Shells have a special design husk (holes), and the gun barrel leveling recoil when fired.

Work on the Gerät 104 "Münchhausen" started in 1939 by compny Rheinmetall-Borsig and lasted until 1941.
The first test was conducted on September 9, 1940 in Unterlüss with a satisfactory result. But after next year
 stopped work on the project because of the inefficient performance and prospects. It has been mounted on
a rail chassis and tested on the model of Dornier Do217. Ultimately had to be designed for Junkers Ju88,
Dornier Do217 and according to some sources Heinkel He177. Single bullet weighed more than 600 kg,
which resulted in the ability to use only once during the mission and accounted for its low efficacy.
