Should be nicknamed Bullet sponge not Jug lol. And that Egon Meyer in the FW190 made me laugh, taking timeouts between bursts to wave to the other pilot.

i love these one of my faveourite dogfights episodes its a shame no more are being produced after ratings dropped
btw i quite like the jug now i have it but then its basicaly a spit with tons of armor diferent weapons a fat body and a more powerful engine (look at the wings they are very similar to a spit)

Im not a huge fan of egon meyer!!

it was clear to him that the P47 was in a bad way from the minute he got on its six and it didnt try to evade. Even then after a few bursts when he pulls up on his wing...he can clearly see the damage thats inflicted, yet he still goes around for another 2 passes.

I know its war but you have to show some compasion to stop you becomnig a complete animal. And to shoot at a pretty defenceless aircraft must be great for that nazi morale. Was quite disgusted by it actually.


ironic that meyer was shot down and killed by a P47! thats karma.

That P-47 video you posted was the entire reson I bought BOP lol... I really wanted to fly the JUG after seeing this. I *almost* bought the DLC immediately, but I wanted to wait to see how the developers made her fly in this game. Sadly, it appears they didn't make the JUG perform like it should, so I'm not paying $9.99 more for it.

Good thing I like a few of the other planes though! I just wish I could be a proper JUG pilot.

I can understand where you are coming from, but, Meyer may have been thinking, if i kill this pilot, he won't be able to shoot down anymore german planes.

I imagine that replacing pilots is alot harder than replacing planes.

Plus, it is war, Meyer may have lost a great deal of friends to the Americans. His heart could of been filled with revenge. We were not there, so it is almost impossible to speculate.

He's a leader of men, should set an example to others, no matter what his personnal opinions are etc. Its just ruthless.

I can though see your side of the arguement, which is fair..... Which is why if that was true, he could of show SOME compassion and just shot the P47 down, not flown along side him to let the poor guy know he was going to kill him. Thats just plain sick. No ifs or buts.... its twisted.

I see him as a man who was dedicated to shooting down enemy planes but also had respect for the pilots who's planes he shot at. I think its clear that he didn't want to kill Johnson (he could easily have shot at the cockpit from ubove). Waving to and finaly saluting Johnson after his ammo ran out isn't something an angry, revengeful person would do.

Also he could have been each time he came alongside Johnson, giving him the chance to bail out (he didn't know he was trapped)

Hmmm maybe true
