BnZ

Hello everyone, page 32 is now up for your enjoyment. A brief description of BnZ or Boom and Zoom. I played my share of WW2 sims, but one of the most difficult for me to get my head around is air to air combat. It is a unique combination of agility/dexterity, situational awareness and tactical decisionmaking. In the case that JG 20 finds itself is particularly bad, since the aircraft they are engaged in has a top speed that is many times their own. Traditionally, German Union pilots with their powerful Me-109E3s would be taught to use Boom and Zoom tactics on their slower enemies. Boom and Zoom tactics are just that, taking advantage of superior speed and power, the attacker makes very fast attack runs on the slower moving target (the boom), and then they use that power to quickly disengage and get into a position of advantage to make another attack pass (the zoom). Unfortunately for JG20, they have the slower fighters. More later!
