The only thing you can see is the effect

Many people say that the only thing you can watch in this movie is aerial combat. In fact, anyone who has a little bit of basic analog air combat games can see that the aerial combat in the movie is not only technically uncontained, but also has many mistakes and omissions, and it is hard to watch. degree.

First of all, the firepower of the German machine is seriously distorted, and it needs to be arbitrarily changed for the sake of the plot, which is terrible. In the 109 at the beginning of the film, only one four-aircraft formation swept the brigade of 100 B-17s-with the armor and self-defense firepower of the B-17, it was ridiculous to be beaten alive. From the bulge on the nose, it can be seen that the 109G6 appears here. Seeing that his firepower is so powerful, it is estimated that it belongs to the G6/U4 with the mk108 replaced by the shaft gun. However, they did not have pods, which means that there were actually not a few shells. The four G6 shells totaled only a few hundred rounds. Facing a large group of B-17 formations, they should be powerless. In the mk108 test, the legend that "the B-24 can be shot down in four hits" has become a reality, which is simply liao. The head of state has this opportunity, and the empire's air defense can be worry-free...

However, when the P-40 was fought on the landing day, even the elites of the JG wing like me wilted before the uncle Hei's arrogance. Not only IQ, but also firepower It also has a serious shrinkage, which makes people suspect that the director can't help being SerB once: "What, black friends are so OP, let's cut the Germans!" The G6, which is fighting for air supremacy, should be replaced with a 20mm shaft gun , although the destructive power is not as good as the "grenade launcher" of the mk108, the charge of the thin-shell ammunition should not be underestimated, and the base and ballistic of the ammunition are more suitable for air combat. As a result, what we saw was that the captain's 109G6, who was so arrogant to go in and out of the bomber group just now, was chasing the P-40 and urinating for a long time with the MG151, but he couldn't beat it. The P-40 was shot multiple times, and it was fine. Lao Tzu's aerodynamics are not bad and continue to do maneuvers! Maybe the protagonist Halo turned all the shells that hit into 7mm bullets fired by the coaxial machine gun? Um? But the G6 is equipped with a 13mm machine gun? fine! The protagonist's halo is carried over!

Similar examples abound. But the most impressive thing is that in the final battle, the "Lightning" P-51 and Me262's opponents had a showdown. It is hard to believe that the "Swallow" with the four-door mk108 in the nose actually lost to the "Mustang" with only six wings and a Browning m2. In terms of air combat performance, the 262 is indeed inferior to the Mustang, but in terms of firepower and instantaneous mass projection, the 262 will never lose. And in the movie? We were surprised to see that Uncle Hei slammed the plug-in, and even made four hits (four puff puff sound, only more or less), and he could fly the plane into the intersection distance of the machine guns like chicken blood, and put the driver on the opposite side. Staff seconds away. Grandpa! That's mk108! 30mm thin shell ammo! In theory, only one round is enough to tear any single-engine fighter, and only four rounds are enough to shoot down a large bomber such as a B-17 or even a B-24. Uncle Hei actually ate four rounds with human flesh, and in The plane hadn't exploded before accepting the four shells with my body, so I had to suspect that the whole crew, from the screenwriter to the director, might not even have turned over the information.

Some people say that it is shrapnel, the debris of the instrument panel collapsed, it is ooxx or something else, and the captain driving the 262 is not used to the trajectory of the mk108. This looks like nonsense without thought. With the power of the mk108, as long as a single shot is detonated on a single-engine fighter, the machine will be destroyed, and there is no fragmentation. Now there is indeed a saying that the detonation conditions of the 108 are relatively harsh, and it must hit at a large angle, otherwise the fuze may not be triggered. But where exactly did the hit cause the debris to crash and kill the driver? It's a mystery. As for the 262 driver who is not familiar with the performance of the machine gun, are you insulting the B-17 machine gunners who were killed by G6 and 262 before? A pilot unfamiliar with ballistics can shoot so many bombers, the bomber's machine gunners really have enough water. In fact, as long as you listen to the swish sound, you can understand that the crew simply regarded the four cannons on the 262 nose as two or three millimeter machine guns, which indirectly reflected that they thought that the armor of the P-51 was stronger than that of the B-51 that had been blown up before. 17 We also need reliable cognition. It should be noted that even if the 7mm air machine gun equipped with the early 109 in the British air battle hit the human body, it would not be enough to kill the human body. Obvious trauma, the P-51 crashed because Uncle Hei lost too much blood and couldn't be manipulated... I don't want to say more, facing the idiot of the screenwriter, no amount of complaints will be pale.

In addition to firepower, tactics are also a major flaw. In the film, whether it is the black uncle or the stupid Nazis, it is like a novice who is playing an air combat game for the first time, and knows that the tail is right. The Germans fought old, second-hand P-40s with advanced Type 109Gs, and they were towed. You must know that the 109G's acceleration, top speed or climb are more than one dimension away from the P-40. His opponent should be Spitfire. The screenwriter's choice of the P-40 is a joke, it only gets fucked hard against the G-Type. As a result, 109G got into a dogfight with P-40? He was also set on fire from behind? As an ace with a personal mark, Captain 109, don't you think the humiliation of doing this noooooooooob-like behavior is enough to make you commit suicide? Is this the virtue of the elite of JG United?

When the captain changed his outfit to 262, his IQ plummeted even more, and he gave up the mission of attacking the bomber and ran to bite the P-51... What should I say to you? Compared with the Mustang, the 262 has the advantages of diving performance, low-altitude acceleration performance, high-G maneuverability, speed that the Mustang can’t match, and the firepower that the Mustang can never match. It is not suitable for air combat with low-speed and flexible piston fighters. This is also the reason why it achieved a remarkable record in avoiding the escort fighters to the greatest extent possible in the interception mission. What I want to complain about is that the screenwriter obviously knows the normal tactics of 262. In the film, 262 appeared above the rear of the B-17 brigade. The normal tactics at this time are high-speed dives, rocket salvos, cannon fire, and then high-speed escape. Throw away the escort fighter and then turn back to attack. The results of it? Consuming the diving speed to the point where you can't catch up with a wild horse, hehe, captain, ah no, Mr. Screenwriter, why don't you just write the captain as a disabled cerebral palsy, hehe. The captain's line, "Stupid Americans!" is, in a sense, slightly correct.

Last but not least, the sound effects. B-17, P-51's Browning M2 sounds like this? Anyway, it is a heavy machine gun with a caliber of 12.7 mm, and the bullets fired are also finger-thick. How does it sound like a light submachine gun commonly seen in action movies? There is no courage, and people can't burn. The sound effects of the Me262's cannon are even more funny. It is obviously a mk108 with a high rate of fire. It sounds like the US's own 37mm M3 cannon. You can hear the firing interval with thump, thump, and thump. At that time, you couldn't imitate the Sispino, so you thought that the whole world couldn't make machine guns, okay?

In addition to the boring emotional drama and the main theme of anti-racism, I will not say more, and it is useless to say more, so that people will not say that I am politically incorrect. The person who wrote such a script dared to call himself a screenwriter of Lucasfilm, didn't you really get kicked out?
