I don't know other's experiences with them, but in my experience pilots flying brit planes seem to have horrible aim. They always will sit right on your tail and then just spam 7.7 until they have to reload.

Talking about horrible armament: Don´t get the BF109 G10. That´s awkward... after 3x30mm and 6x20mm on my Bf109 G6 and Fw190A the puny single 20mm on the G10 is just a farce. And even if you unlock the gunpods you won´t get 3x30mms but only two in the wings.

Atm I´m just flying my two babies and hardly use the G10. I´m like 50k experience away from the 30mm gunpods under the Fw190 F version though.  :)

Well, guess it's a side effect of being in a plane that outmanouvres everything else. I must admit I do it myself as well sometimes, why take all the trouble doing fancy moves when you can just as easily stick behind and spray bullets untill the enemy plane falls apart. Only when I'm chasing a lone aircraft ofcourse.

Say, aren't the german 13mm MGs basically like .50cals?
He was not wrong. Amateurs talk tactics, pros talk logistics.

Yes and no.

the MG131 was a bit more powerfull and fired a bit faster then the .50CAL, but it also had only half the effective range and less muzzle velocity. And was not as reliable as the .50CAL.

It is however, a very facinating design, and its smaller size made it easier to install in bomber turrets and such.

Not to mention the electrically primed firing mechanism is pretty cool. Altough this was also less reliable.

Edit: Oh wait the Bullets of the M2 are more powerfull. The API rounds were also much more effective. The MG131 advantages are bit higher ROF, lighter weight and size.

I feel the same way. The stock grind is horror. Can't wait to max out the G-10 with upgrades. But I'm unsure if I will put on gunpods, because of the reduced climb rate. I guess I will do it for arcade and never fly it in historical.

The G-6 is a flying god. In my eyes it is a perfect mix of armament. The only downside is low ammo count on the 30mm, but it packs a punch. I don't feel I need any gunpods on that thing.

I've started trying to fly historical, but it's real hard after being an arcade scrub for 150 hours :P
But I get more adrenaline rush when I fly it.

Just about to unlock the dual 30mm on the FW190 F. One question though: Is it possible for the 30mm with AP ammunition to go through Light tanks and Medium tanks?

Those are the "long" MK 103 right? They should go through light tanks,and maybe throu rear/top of mediums, I dunno for sure, when I finally unlock ammo belts on my Me410 I'll tell you :D
About that, this game could use seperate weapon controls, not just machineguns/cannons, so you could use 2 types of cannons separately.

Just flew my first round with those babies. Turns out they aren´t the 30mm mounted on the 109, but much more awesome. A salvo will finish off a medium tank from behind and the top - which is attacked like 90% of the time anyways as you come from above. This thing is a money maker.

I missed the feeling of strafing everything - like in Tier 0 and 1. This was fun, now I can do this again.

I got some good memories with that thing from IL-2:BoP. You could play on simulator (like FRBs) and not spin out of control, touch down on airfields regardless of, angle, altitude, could do some stunts like landing on the Reichstag. If you play capture the airfields with that plane I guarantee you will not be disappointed at all.

Anyone else loving the Japanese bombers? I'm having a blast in the G4M1 Betty, and the KI49's. Awful in arcade, but really fun to fly in Historical.
