I never knew the Stuka was SO well armoured. So when britsih pilots talked of a "Stuka Party" they ment something else?
Yeah, i cannot wait for the sky tank either - cementer!
Iwonder why the Russians didn't place fixed guns facing rearwards with a periscope aimer, just like the Arado jet bomber, would have saved weight of a rear-gunner!
