This guy is a great R/C pilot!

Usually these planes don't last that long:

Naw, these guys are just terrible shots. I know who I wouldn't enlist to man my flak guns :doh:

[Task Force]

Wow, they need to go back to the SH AA school.:lol:

No, they aren't poor shots at all. They're about average. You guys need to learn how hard it is to hit a fast-moving target in real life.

Especially the air to air gunnery, or ship to air gunnery. Not only is your target moving, but so are you, and you both are bobbing up and down from air currents, or waves on the water for ships, and if the ship is making evasive manuevers too, any leaning of the ship either direction port or starboard makes targeting a real **censored**!

During WWII aerial gunners on the bombers were taught skeetshooting from the back of a moving truck on bumpy roads to simulate as best as possible the "bumps" in the air according to my Eighth Airforce WWII historical aaccounts book.

Now if these guys did the training like the guys back in WWII or any modern day military training for gunnery, I suppose they would fair better.

When I was kid, I would pick off geese and ducks on gramma's and grandaddy's front lawn with my 22 single shot, as grams hated plucking out birdshot when the cousins would go out with shotguns.

I know, I only jest. I think this only further confirms this whole "U-flak" issue we've debated forever with SHIII!

Actually, I was very impressed they brought it down at all.


Tiny plane like that, with that kind of maneuverability and scale speed......
It would be like trying to shoot down an F-15 with a machine gun.

Also, they did it with solid munitions, no proximity or timed explosive fuses. :yep:
