That 'greater than 45 degree angle' turned out to be 70 degree dive angle. Yes. Nearly vertical, straight at the target and only giving yourself 400m to pull up out of a 300km/h dive that you started at nearly 4000m AND an impending explosion dead ahead? No thanks. Those guys had seriously large gonads.
Well, again, most of the Aces tended to have the same daredevil mentality of just plain being willing to do this kind of stuff, like Eric Hartmann's willingness to all but ram the enemy out of the sky, and rely upon his plane's toughness to see him through.
Of course, someone with enough training COULD have a good enough idea of what risks they could pay off and which ones to avoid...
... And let's be honest, the Japanese weren't really that big on safety or pilot longevity. A mentality of "if you're not going for the kill, stay home." would be right at place.
Finally a real serious training...Isn't that dangerous ?I have a questionBasically, you just cover it up by training real hardFive meals a dayOf course it's dangerous, but the bomb will hit, so...
get downYeah YeahBecause we have Egusa team joining us in today's class, I'm thinking of training everyone's flight bombers to perform as good as Egusa's team.Now, train to lower that by 100 metres.The training is simple. Normally, to avoid crashing to the target, most bombs are released at altitude of
500 metres.
Words are cheap
By the way, the navy called bombs released in dive sharper than 45 degrees as rapid descent dive bomb.Come on, Unryuu-chan, aren’t you in the First Carrier Division ?
From August 1944Drop it at 500m!God of Dive Bombing,
Egusa Takashige2nd CarDiv's Rapid Desce-2nd CarDiv's Rapid Descent Dive Bombing Instruc-How should we do that?
Will we learn a new technique?
