"Famous for their tank killing capabilities their first REAL use was against Soviet shipping and landing craft in Feb. 43. Rudel alone destroying over 70 of these vehicles in this month. Guncam footage is from this unit. Cannon armed Stukas (then designated G-1) were only send to regular squadrons in October 43. The footage itself is most impressive. The sensible fuzes of the high-explosive 3.7 shells (used during these attacks) get triggered just by hitting the water resulting in HUGE fountains of water..1-2 hits
were enough to blow up a landing craft...anyway..see for yourself .. turn speakers up and enjoy. "
So.. the game effect is probably pretty accurate.
regarding the game effect,
maybe, but it seems smaller than an mg striking the ground.
