[QUOTE=Kommodore;45483013]there are like a thousand threads for anime can this please not be one of them[/QUOTE]
Are you really just going to dismiss the video just because it has that "anime" look? And it was only one video, anyway.

thank you for not saying "b-24 after an allied bomber above it dropped a bomb on its wing" because that's how it is labeled every time i see this pic

Thats how it was labeled when I found it, but I can't find the specific frame where the bomb hits, or just before it hits, the wing. And if a bomb did hit the wing, the B-24 would probably just evaporate.
What people fail to realize, is that the 8.8cm used on the Tiger tank was used in anti-aircraft emplacements to knock out aircraft before it was used to knock out tanks. It had absolutely devastating effects on aircraft, especially if they suffered a direct hit like that B-24 in the gif.

i think that people think that a bomb hit it before it armed, simply knocking the wing off by the sheer kinetic force. from the picture tho it looks like the bomb would have had to hit the wing doing like 300mph to rip through the wing like that. most definitely a AAA hit, probably from a Flak-18/36/37 like you said.
If it was a bomb it had to be moving pretty damn fast.
Flak is more likely, or terrorists.

I'm fairly certain those two pics aren't from a bomber crash, but just a bomb that struck Helsinki during the bombing raids the soviets did.
Also here's a bigger version of the second pic(thumbed for your pleasure);

I assumed it was a bomber crash because the subsequent pictures had infantry going through bomber wreckage

Took that the night they were swarming. Anything in the light will have millions on them. They only live like 24 hours so the next day there's literally dead bugs several feet deep. People get rid of the dead ones using snow shovels

It doesn't even have to be 8.8cm to cause that much damage. Most fighters were only equipped with 20mm cannons, 30mm at most, yet they could take down B-24's and B-17's in a few shots.

At first, the bugs looked like bubbles and sand, I thought the car was underwater

Oh. Alright, my bad.
I saw a link to the video Skyward posted, but I figured it was just the "researchers" building the track and ships. Guess I should have looked at that :v:

i find it really amazing that this magazine cover is still really relevant graphics design-wise nowadays (apart from the font maybe).
