Hi,
I am interested in dogfighting. I'm not good at it, mind you, just interested. For years I played the WW2 aerial combat game Warbirds.
It's played over the net, I was in a squad, the 111th. I thought a lot of that old Hollywoood stuff was cheesy. The plain truth is we double teamed the Japanese planes. Our planes were less maneuverable, so when a bogey got behind a plane and started shooting....his buddy would attack him.
That's why our Navy planes looked like flying bank vaults. They needed to take a few hits. The bullets we used were capable of ripping a plane apart. If one hit a person, I imagine it would make quite a mess, a l ittle more than Hollywood was used to back then. From the gun camera footage I have seen, the lightly armored planes the Japanese used simply fell apart under attack, or burst into flame, or exploded...you get the idea.
