Seems the truth hurts, especially when it is made into jokes. snip There is no truth here by you or Lehrer, only a double standard. The core POINT is this: the allies bombed when they could not possibly achieve any accuracy because they did not develop the technical means to do so similarly von Braun's missile was forced into use before it was ready and achchieved high accuracy. The allies had the possibillity to develop technical means but it seems the dehousing and area bombardment policy meant disinterest. Which rather ignores the fact that they DID develop the technical means in the form of Oboe, Gee, H2S, Loran etc while the Germans kept right on area bombing. The bulk of Bomber commands night time raids were conducted by H2S at night, irrespective of whether it was the 9cm version or the 3cm version the system had Circular Error probables of 5 miles. Worse than the early V2. Well no , 5 miles was BEFORE the technical aids were developed. At certain periodes of the year the by far the bulk of the USAAF's raids were conducted under cloud cover and demonstrated similarly poor levels of accuracy. Worse than the early V2. Well no, the Americans could actually hit a city which the V-2 struggled to manage. Even under 50% clould cover the accuracy of daylight bombardment was not spectactular. Morover von Braun was designing a system with high accuracy. So what do we have? Perhaps 50% of RAF bomber commands raids and perhaps 25% of the 8th airforce with worse accuracy than the V2? Only in your mind The spectactular accuracies selectively quoted from the USSBS are for ideal conditions. The V2 on the other hand was technically CLOSE to achieving a consistant 1km CEP: 5-7 times more accurate than H2S/H2X in darkness and 100% cloud cover, creating 25-49 times less collateral damage area. It actually achieved 12 km It would have been considerably more accurate than H2X in partial cloud cover. And hardly worse than the spread of collateral damage caused by formation bombing. The V-2 was intended to cause collateral damage, its aiming point was the city centre, the German government boasted that it was intended to cause terror. Keith .. |

The Germans had the technical means to blind bomb as well, Sonnenschein a hyperbolic navigation system, Bernhard-Bernhardine (virtually unjammable), EGON and the Oboe like EGON-II as well as "Zyklops" a late war beam riding system. All saw considerable use. EGON was to be replaced by FuG 226 Neuling since EGON was simply a beefed up version of the Luftwaffe's standard IFF and by the end of the war compromised. H2S was mostly useless untill post war 1.5cm versions incorporating more advanced signal processing. Where the allies failed was in the development of an accurate system that works "over the horrison". Such a system used Oboe like contollers in orbiting aircraft but was never pushed: area bombardment was apparently to desirable. For the Germans over the horison blind attacks would have used a missile like the A4b with an postion update to an inertial guidance system a minute before impact when the missile was still not below line of sight. The bulk of Bomber commands night time raids were conducted by H2S at night, irrespective of whether it was the 9cm version or the 3cm version the system had Circular Error probables of 5 miles. Worse than the early V2. Well no , 5 miles was BEFORE the technical aids were developed. 5 miles was what H2X achieved. 9cm H2S was worse. Read the results of the oxford experiment The Oxford experiment showed that H2X bombing: "Forty-two percent of the bombs had fallen more than five miles from this point." http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/rad...ing-26720.html The Combat Accuracy of H2X Bombing By the time the Oxford experiment was completed, the momentum of the war was such that the Eighth Air Force sent missions against Germany using Gee-H, Micro- H, or H2X blind bombing equipment, as appropriate and necessary, on every day on which it could fly its airplanes. The last big report prepared by the bombing accuracy subsection covered all bombing from the period September 1 to December 31, 1944; it showed that 58 percent of all Eighth Air Force bombing for this period was done with the aid of H2X, and that 35 percent was through 10/10 cloud cover. Thus, H2X had in fact become the dominant mode of bombing. Furthermore, the report showed that, when the cloud cover was reported as 10/ 10, only 0.2 of one percent of the bombs had fallen within 1,000 feet of the assigned aiming point, and that 42 percent had fallen more than five miles from this point. The 58 percent of the bombs that fell less than five miles from the aiming point were distributed uniformly over a circle of radius five miles [McArthur 1990, pp. 287-298]. When Lt. Col. Scott and I were invited to present the findings of this report at a meeting of the staff officers at the headquarters of the Second Division, Scott asked me to do the talking. It was not an easy assignment to present a report of such poor accuracy, and Scott was glad to hand it over to a civilian. Four generals sat in the front row. I summarized the accuracy figures in the report; they showed that the accuracy of visual bombing had shown a threefold improvement since the beginning of the war, but that H2X bombing had not improved during its use by the Eighth Air Force. When I had finished, two of the generals insisted that the Eighth Air Force had wasted planes, bombs, and men on its campaign of inaccurate blind bombing, but the other two supported the policy because it kept the pressure on the enemy throughout the period. While they argued, Scott and I went home. It was not our business to tell them how to operate the air force SNIP The spectactular accuracies selectively quoted from the USSBS are for ideal conditions. The V2 on the other hand was technically CLOSE to achieving a consistant 1km CEP: 5-7 times more accurate than H2S/H2X in darkness and 100% cloud cover, creating 25-49 times less collateral damage area. It actually achieved 12 km The dispersion in systematic test shots was 4.5km using inertial boost phase only guidance. If the Viktoria-Hawaii beam system was used the cross range dispersion was halved; one could the CEP went from a 4.5km radious circle to a 4.5km long and 2.25km wide ellipse. (though in reality the CEP was already elliptical) The effect of the double cross system (fales impact feedback) degraded this by 12km. However if the effect of the double cross system was excluded the CEP was 6km. The difference between practice and reality likely amounts to manufacturing variation control in early missiles. The CEP of H2X in daylight USAAF usage under cloud cover was 5 miles (8km) Worse The standard way of measuring V2 impacts was with an Ar 234 with sideways motion picture cameras synchronised to the impact or simply post stricke 'carter analyssis' An radar and optical based system based on the V2 telemetry system was being worked upon. Jet flights over Britain were banned, in order to protect the secret of the Jumo engines (obviously pointless given autonomous British advances in this area) The V-2 was intended to cause collateral damage, its aiming point was the city centre, the German government boasted that it was intended to cause terror. So was the earlier 'dehousing' and 'area bombardment' campaign intended to inflect terror which had been promoted to Churchill by pathalogical racial hater of Germans, the Jew (Lord Cherwell) Frederick Lindemann. Analysis of Luftwaffe bombing of British towns subsequently showed that Lindemann;s 'demoralisation' simply wasn't there. The V2 was put in production about 9 months before von Brauns team could sort out the the guidance issues. A full system would have used either the SG-66 (productionised as the SG-70 stablised inertial guidance platform instead of the LEV-3 or a beam riding system capable of 0.05 degree accurcy for a re-entry accuracy of better than 500m. If more accuracy was needed the winged version of the A4b could be guided to impact or if it was over the horizon guided to within minutes of impact. The V1 was also getting a midcourse 'course corrector' guidance system that worked by trilateration of a single pulse. |

Which rather ignores the fact that they DID develop the technical means in the form of Oboe, Gee, H2S, Loran etc while the Germans kept right on area bombing. The Germans had the technical means to blind bomb as well, Sonnenschein a hyperbolic navigation system, Bernhard-Bernhardine (virtually unjammable), Sonnenschein, assuming Eunometic has managed to spell it correctly, seems to be another vapour ware product. Virtually unjammable is code for German, not a technical description and the Bernhard system seems to be used by the fighters, not the bombers. At half a degree accuracy it seems rather a stretch to call it a blind bombing system, unless you are into area bombing. Given how many German bombers were unable to find Coventry in November 1940 and how many more could not find London in 1944 and the results of the night attacks from 1940 onwards the Luftwaffe was area bombing quite readily, since Warsaw in fact. Think of the Eunometic text as follows, the allies had Oboe, therefore they could not have area bombed, and actual results are not to be counted. EGON and the Oboe like EGON-II as well as "Zyklops" a late war beam riding system. All saw considerable use. In case people are wondering EGON seems to have seen use for fighter control, very little to none for bomber control. The second version and Zyklops are the usual Eunometic flee to another wonder device when the first one is shown not to match the Eunometic specifications. Yet another wonder device that seems to be rather rare and rather late. http://www.gyges.dk/II%20JK%20spring%201945%202.htm And not a range finding beam either. "Considerable use" is Eunometic speak for a code name was allocated. EGON was to be replaced by FuG 226 Neuling since EGON was simply a beefed up version of the Luftwaffe's standard IFF and by the end of the war compromised. Yes once again the war winning wonder weapon available some time post war, and the standard German IFF was compromised from mid war, after the allies were able to examine systems in Luftwaffe aircraft that were captured or shot down, after the Germans had managed to come up with a standard set. No surprise there. By the way FuG 226 had not got beyond a few test sets by the time German surrendered. This counts in Eunometic terms, allied systems under test do not count. It conflicts with the need to reel out a long list of systems the Germans are supposed to have used, a list that has to be much longer than the allies, and of course of much better devices. H2S was mostly useless untill post war 1.5cm versions incorporating more advanced signal processing. Mostly useless is a Eunometic term for not German. Where the allies failed was in the development of an accurate system that works "over the horrison". Such a system used Oboe like contollers in orbiting aircraft but was never pushed: area bombardment was apparently to desirable. By the way anyone else noted how Eunometic announces the allies did not have a system then says they did? You see the idea is to announce the conclusion, the allies and area bombing, then back fill the facts to fit. Note after September 1944 the allies had Oboe stations on the German border, which covered the area Bomber Command was normally after. March to the end of September 1944 Bomber Command was doing a lot of attacks in France in support of the invasion. In 1943 there was rather a lack of Mosquitoes and the RAF did not want to put Oboe into heavy bombers. For the Germans over the horison blind attacks would have used a missile like the A4b with an postion update to an inertial guidance system a minute before impact when the missile was still not below line of sight. Ah yes, the Germans never deployed an over the horizon system but hey, they are allowed to dream of it so that counts. The V-2 above was supposed to be in line of sight, hardly over the horizon but people must remember Eunometic definitions apply. The winged V-2 was of course a long way from production as was the wonder inertial guidance system, wonder what this guidance system will be called. At 200 nautical miles and a ground antenna 100 feet high it looks like the V-2 would need to be falling at around 23,000 feet per minute to impact a minute later. At 400 miles it is more like 100,000 feet per minute. The bulk of Bomber commands night time raids were conducted by H2S at night, irrespective of whether it was the 9cm version or the 3cm version the system had Circular Error probables of 5 miles. Worse than the early V2. Well no , 5 miles was BEFORE the technical aids were developed. 5 miles was what H2X achieved. 9cm H2S was worse. No. Read the results of the oxford experiment People have, hence why they know Eunometic cannot handle the truth. The Oxford experiment showed that H2X bombing: "Forty-two percent of the bombs had fallen more than five miles from this point." Dear Eunometic, the Oxford Experiment is quoting the USSBS bombing accuracy report, and the above quote is the results for total cloud cover, where all you can see is clouds. People have been pointing out the difference between the above quote and the actual results, which depended on the cloud cover, also that the accuracy figures are for the last 4 months in 1944, not the entire campaign. But of course Eunometic does not want to cope with reality so the idea is to simply announce the results for total cloud cover and claim it is for all attacks. http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/rad...ing-26720.html The spectactular accuracies selectively quoted from the USSBS are for ideal conditions. The V2 on the other hand was technically CLOSE to achieving a consistant 1km CEP: 5-7 times more accurate than H2S/H2X in darkness and 100% cloud cover, creating 25-49 times less collateral damage area. It actually achieved 12 km The dispersion in systematic test shots was 4.5km using inertial boost phase only guidance. You see the idea here is to announce the Eunometic version of good test results for the V-2 and ignore the actual combat performance. Note there is zero attempt to use good test performance for H2X, that would be too much like compared with like for Eunometic. Let alone H2X in combat conditions with say 4/10 cloud. If the Viktoria-Hawaii beam system was used the cross range dispersion was halved; one could the CEP went from a 4.5km radious circle to a 4.5km long and 2.25km wide ellipse. (though in reality the CEP was already elliptical) Again this seems to be more theory than reality and it seems Eunometic is confusing the various versions of this system, yes yet another V-2 guidance system, this time with several versions. The least accurate version was the one used in WWII. Eunometic collects used and unused German guidance systems, then enhances them as well as making them available in WWII. Collecting belly button lint proved to much of an intellectual challenge. Hence all the imaginary devices and/or performance. The effect of the double cross system (fales impact feedback) degraded this by 12km. Actually it degraded things from around 6 to 12 km. However if the effect of the double cross system was excluded the CEP was 6km. The difference between practice and reality likely amounts to manufacturing variation control in early missiles. It is quite amazing how the real results for the Germans are always excused and of course we are to assume as the slave labourers making the missiles were worked to death manufacturing quality would go up. When the quality of German aviation products were all going down. The CEP of H2X in daylight USAAF usage under cloud cover was 5 miles (8km) Worse Actually no, as has been stated many times since Eunometic is only quoting the worst USAAF results, that is total cloud cover. Think of it this way around 10% of V-2s simply vanished and others came down offshore when fired against England. Now calculate the error for these shots, after all that is 10+% of firings, announce this is the true V-2 accuracy, which would be running into the hundreds of km and you have the Eunometic version of accuracy, but applied to the V-2, not the USAAF. The standard way of measuring V2 impacts was with an Ar 234 with sideways motion picture cameras synchronised to the impact or simply post stricke 'carter analyssis' An radar and optical based system based on the V2 telemetry system was being worked upon. In case people are wondering the Ar234 flights seem to be rather lacking and "worked on" includes having pencil marks on napkins. Antwerp was a major target for the V-2, and effectively on the front line. The US Army alone was moving 500,000 tons of cargo through the port a month, increasing. Hence why it is easy to see the gap between Eunometic and reality. Jet flights over Britain were banned, in order to protect the secret of the Jumo engines (obviously pointless given autonomous British advances in this area) In case people are wondering some Me262s did run flights over England as did some Ar234. The reconnaissance photographs brought back on one case helped the V-1 deception. Normally Eunometic boasts about these not being intercepted. The V-2 was intended to cause collateral damage, its aiming point was the city centre, the German government boasted that it was intended to cause terror. So was the earlier 'dehousing' and 'area bombardment' campaign Done by the Luftwaffe against England and others, hence the RAF felt it had no barriers when it came to bombing Germany. intended to inflect terror which had been promoted to Churchill by pathalogical racial hater of Germans, the Jew (Lord Cherwell) Frederick Lindemann. In case people are wondering Lindemann was born in Baden-Baden in Germany, son of a German who had become a British citizen and an American mother. Part of his schooling was in Darmstadt and the University of Berlin where he received his PhD. Hence why Eunometic hates him so much, in Eunometic eyes Lindemann is a traitor. As for his religion it is notable how much Eunometic thinks it matters but whether he actually practiced the religion is another matter (Nazis of course do not care about whether a person worshipped, only if one of their grandparents did). There are some claims that Lindemann hated Nazi Germany. Eunometic tends to drop the Nazis from German history. Of course the ideology is reinstated in Eunometic's own mimicry of Nazi terms, hence "racial" and "the Jew" Analysis of Luftwaffe bombing of British towns subsequently showed that Lindemann;s 'demoralisation' simply wasn't there. No, only the effects that showed infrastructure loss usually cost more production than factory damage. The V2 was put in production about 9 months before von Brauns team could sort out the the guidance issues. By the way the V-2 was in combat for around 8 months before the end of the war. The 9 months claim seems to be part of the attempt to paint the V-2 team as really peaceful. And as usual for Eunometic trying to build better German guidance systems counts as if it was in mass use. A full system would have used either the SG-66 (productionised as the SG-70 stablised inertial guidance platform instead of the LEV-3 or a beam riding system capable of 0.05 degree accurcy for a re-entry accuracy of better than 500m. Ah yes, once again we flee towards another V-2 guidance system, or systems, with of course wonder performance. Productionised is Eunometic code for some hardware was built and tested. If more accuracy was needed the winged version of the A4b could be guided to impact or if it was over the horizon guided to within minutes of impact. You see the idea here is to not only create a ready to go V-2 that was actually nowhere near production but add guidance systems that were further behind while giving them enhanced accuracy. The V1 was also getting a midcourse 'course corrector' guidance system that worked by trilateration of a single pulse. Yes folks, wonder guidance systems all round. Not used, which is why Eunometic loves them, they can be claimed to be wonder and of course all set to enter mass production now, as long as you define now as sometime within the next decade.
