Killing Heinkels

[Blairgowrie]

Joint Ops just published the following drawings about the gun coverage for a Heinkel. As you can see, if you approach from above, head on (try to rake the cockpit), you will avoid the Heinkel gun coverage. They also stress that you should never approach a Heinkel from any other position or you are dead for sure.

Now that makes sense. Ive had some success attacking from near verticle above them, but that is kinda hairy as u wind up overspeeding. This was the luftwaffes favored position for attacking US bombers.
