  • Why on earth did the Germans fire those things in broad daylight, where gunners and pilots could see them?? Surely, with no pilot, blind flying and blind targets would have been better. Wait, perhaps the exhaust flames couldn't be hidden but still the altitude would have been harder to estimate. Wait again, maybe they all had a fixed altitude and this made them easy to predict. Well, I answered my own dumb question! Thanks, me. That's what youtube is for!

  • @I2thavo derp, i can see that haha, just keep 4getting now its all the click of a switch or the instent call of a fighterplain hehe

  • @OMBIC Its good, german AA needed about 15000 rounds to shoot a big long range bomber. greetings.

  • ahh yer, 1 on 90 rounds is a good hit. lol

  • @frantahouska Not a rocket, a pulse jet engine.

  • Almost supernatural battle between the weapons of science and their robot adversaries! 

  • @mistersmith6000 what are you fucking stupid or something? of course they would be MORE visible during night time! they have ROCKET powered engine. dumb ass.

  • too bad the germans couldnt launch these from a submarine

  • I would say this gun is superior to the 88 as it can be loaded via ( I'm guessing it's called ) the receiver instead of the breech of the 88.

    As for the droning, I think it would be worse to hear the V1 sputtering as it ran out fuel then falling silent.

  • was no scientific instruments that out tank a man then, it was the brilliant mines of those men who did it...was no science fiction anything no robots yeah GERMANs did have mechanical bombs and rockets but they were preset they could not adjust or change targets. They make this a bit flashy, computers then and they did have them would take a battleship to fit into. AWESOME VIDEO though

  • The drone of the engine must be very terrifying for people who lived in England during that time.
