I would assume that that was more of a test bed then any thing realy meant to see combat. It was common practive to test out new weapons/engines on old planes that weren't needed at the front. What the germans realy needed was more Hs 129 known as the Panzerknacker, (tank cracker). Thou slow and ungainly that small plane was well armored and carried a good punch. One of the final varients mounted a modified version of the same 75cm cannon as the Pz IV. |
