Default Tank busting

Great footage of the legendary Rudel and the "tank buster" JU-87
I never realized that the cannons only fired 1 round from each gun at a time.
and that the cycle time to reload the guns took that long....

Yeah. All it is is a glorified 37mm Pak turned into an semi-autocannon.
