Thanks Oleg, how'd I end up being first?

In the air combat video the gun cam of the 109 hitting the defiant ... those cannon shells exploding on a timer? You can see they miss the target and explode a second or two later. THAT is super cool. Nice to see the dawn lighting in a video as well.

I am sure this has been answered already, but the Germans had cannon shells that exploded with a self destruct fuse (zerleger).
I can post some photos of a 151/20 with self destruct if anyone wants to see it.
The typical self destruct consisted of a tracer that burned for a couple seconds and eventually through a small hole into the chamber that held the explosive charge, thus detonating it.

Yeah I looked that up once I saw the video, I actually hadn't seen that or heard of that before, but the idea didn't surprise me. Set probably deflection and if you could time the explosive on impact it would probably do the most damage.

First time I've seen it in a sim, looks great!

great work, nice music too. 1000 thanks

what i actually enjoyed the most was the light in this video and the detail of the planes. Scene in 0:37 is really like a gun footage IMHO and what bullets trails! and the pilot sequence

absolutely excellent

need info, immediately before escaping( at 1.06) we see the gunner camera going back, is this like how gunner had to escape from a ju 87 ?
