Sure it's not just a huge finger?

It's actually fake... 
It's a picture from IL-2 on a greenscreen map.

Very clever!

[ilikerio]

I blurred the picture a bit to make it look tiny.

Impossible to shoot 'em down with just 50 cals...

Well... It's close to impossible. You could aim for the pilots but that's like looking for people from space with just your eyes.

Reminds me of the Not the Nine O'clock news sketch. A pi$$ take of Tomorrow's World. You see a micro chip on the screen and a pencil tip to show the size as Pamela Stephenson talks about it and how miniaturisation it really advancing, then the camera very slowly zooms out and Griff Reese Jones and Mel Smith are to be seen. One is holding a pencil than is about 5 feet long and as thick as a drain pipe and the other a computer chip the size of a coffee table

Challenge accepted....there, 4 Me-323s bit the digital dust thanks to the P-51D's 6 50cals. I should note it is next to impossible to shoot them down if their gunners are active those 20mil turrets are brutal! HOWEVER, set their weapons/payload to 'empty' (so no ammo for gunners) and it is real easy. If you shoot for the outer engines, the outer halves of the wings tend to fall off quick. You can also lit the wing on fire pretty quick with .50s if you aim for the areas beside the engines...I did saw the vertical stab off of one too with a 1sec burst! Note, I can get the outer wing sections to come off in a 1-2sec burst with the 6 50s.

If you want to shoot them down quicker try the P-47 "Jug".

8 50cals & it can take a lot more battle damage because of its Radial Air Cooled Engine.

Or you could try a Spit.

The P-38 is my machine... Nice balance of guns, speed, and handling.
