War Thunder Blenheim Mk IV JU 87 G-1 miracle landing

I brought the Blenheim Mk IV (BR 1.3) into this match expecting to play a casual low-level match with one of my regular squadmates (Saber-6- did well in this match using the Swordfish). I was flying along getting ready to start my bombing run on the enemy front line when all of a sudden there was a big bang and huge chunks of my plane went flying off. I though someone had rammed me, but I never saw the other plane. I knew my plane was most likely doomed, but I at least tried to drop my load of bombs on something useful before trying to limp back home with a plane that I couldn't even keep level. Finally, somehow, I managed to near-miraculously land the thing for repair (Thank you Arcade Mode). Later in the replay, I found the culprit was a JU 87 G-1, which carries two 37mm cannons (think tank main cannon). It's amazing that the Blenheim Mk IV took the hit and wasn't instantly destroyed. I think the only reason it survived the hit was the JU 87's ordinance just barely hit the edges of the wing and tail. If it had been a more direct hit, I don't think the Blenheim would have lasted 1 second (I've used the JU 87 G-1 & G-2 enough to know, if you hit anything with less than 4 engines, it's basically dead instantly in one hit). I hope you enjoy the replay of the miracle landing. AND props to Saber-6- who got a lot of ground kills with the Swordfish. I never last very long in the Swordfish, so great job!

Also, special thanks to Scott Buckley for his amazing music which he graciously made available for this production! Thanks Scott!
