A very usefull aspect of this video is to show just how 'straight' the tracers look when filmed from a handheld camera (much more representative of the human viewpoint) real proof that guncam tracers are not as seen by the naked eye.

Yes Grathos, sorry wrong video. I put it up in a rush this morning.
I ment to show you this one: ! 2:08 Kette 4:03 Kette 4:47 Schwarm If they didnt have enought numbers, Say 4 Schwarm with 3 aircraft each and they were using Schwarm, Im sure with the Rotte being the basic element they would have made up 3 Schwarm instead of flying in Kette... But also its impossible to tell when the footage is from... Last edited by 5./JG27.Farber; 04-19-2012 at 11:45 AM. |

Your right, there is definitely a mix of formations used. It may be to do with mission task. In the book "Messerschmitt BF 110: Bombsights Over England - Erprobungsgruppe 210 in the Battle of Britain" there are often mentions of Kette formations in attacks. Although to be fair there are also mentions of Rotte and Schwarm formations as well.
Great film! Last edited by Pips; 04-19-2012 at 09:47 PM. |

To be honest flying Rotte when your whole flight is bomb laden and unable to manoeuvre seems a bit pointless. It just makes sense to fly Kette when bombing, safety in numbers. |

On futher inspection - I agree
