Agreed! But someone tell me why the AAA blasts you out of the sky in a chute.
I also do a lot of reading on the subject, (WWII air to air combat) as I am sure many of you do as well. It is well documented that US pilots shot German pilots. This was an "Unwritten order" from the top brass. The point being that the German pilots were getting shot down and climbing right back in a new fighter. Then would proceed to try and kill American airmen. The point was to stop the Nazi regime and cripple its ability to continue the war. Same for the Japanese. War brings out the worst in us.
BTW I am just finishing "Luftwaffe Fight Ace" by Norbert Hannig. Great book, lots of descriptive training and combat actions. A highly recommended read for IL-2 players.
