Re: Luftwaffe Fight Tactics (early 1944)
Head on attacks were the main reason the Chin Turret was adapted for the B - 17. It was first used on B - 17s modified as Gun Ships called YB - 40s. Head on attacks had a faster rate of closure , less exposure to return fire , the idea being to try and eliminate the formation leaders to create confusion and break up the formations.
Cheers
