Yes, I see, that makes sense. I was refering to the previously mentined number of perhaps 12 in about 40 seconds. That is within the roll-off racks capability, as you say.BTW, what is hedgehog?
But speaking of completely unbelievable, yet real and documented, war situations, do you remember the name of German Stuka pilot who is credited with single-handedly destroying 300 or 500 Russian tanks with his plane specially equipped with an automatic cannon (was it the 37mm flak gun)? Yes, the "original" A10, if you will. It sounds like virtually ANY modern weapons idea was at some point invented by Germans... I wonder if they found any German military gear when they opened up the Egiptians tombs for the first time. A mummy with a Luger by its side?
The reason I mention him is that he is also credited with sinking a cruiser with just his cannon - the Soviet Marat, and also heavily damaging another one (don't recall the name).
