4/12/2023 0 Comments Strafe design![]() ![]() The German army was the first to introduce a class of aircraft specially designed for strafing, the ground-attack aircraft. Strafing with machine guns was used when precision was needed (facing small targets), but non-strafing attack methods (primarily small bombs) were preferred for larger targets, area targets, or when low-altitude flying was too risky. Trenches and supply columns were routinely attacked from the air in the second half of the war. While the earliest use of military aircraft was for observation and directing of artillery, strafing was frequently practised in World War I. Nevinson, 1916, collection Museum of Fine Arts, Ghent ![]() Planes purposely designed for ground attack may include additional armour around and underneath the cockpit and other vulnerable areas such as engines to protect the pilot and key flight components, while aircraft designed mostly for air combat tend to have most of their armor placed to protect directly ahead or to the rear, where fire from other aircraft is most likely, leaving them more vulnerable to fire from directly below or to the sides, where much ground fire often comes from. This is helpful because it allows the pilot to aim at a target without having to dive towards the ground as steeply, decreasing the risk of collision with the ground and increasing the amount of firing time available before having to pull up, and it also increases the range from the target, helping avoid anti-aircraft fire and potential damage from exploding targets.īecause of the low altitude and relatively low airspeed required for accurate strafing, it is very risky for the pilot, who is exposed not only to the risk of flight-into-terrain and obstacles such as power lines, but also to anti-aircraft weapons, including surface-to-air missiles (both vehicle mounted and hand-held), anti-aircraft artillery and small caliber weapons fire (such as machine guns and small arms). In cases where an aircraft is capable of both types of combat, when it is assigned to a ground attack role, and thus expected to be using the guns mostly for strafing, the fixed weapons are often mounted so that the convergence point is lower and at a greater range than would be used for air combat. Some fixed wing aircraft, like fighter-bombers, are capable of flying either air-combat missions or ground attack missions ( P-47 Thunderbolt), while others are dedicated ground-attack types ( Il-2 Sturmovik).
