Go offline; set protect objects to 0.0; grab a plane from the hangar and roll it next to a fighter hanger; fire all guns. Which plane do you think will take a FH down quickest? Surprised me ...

190a8 or spitfire would be my guess. (Hog C would be too obvious.)

It wasn't even close. By my wrist watch:
Jug: 12 seconds
Typhoon: 9 seconds
F4U1C: 9 seconds
FW190-A8: 6 seconds

OK, so next time I have to kill a hanger I'll be sure to grab a Fw190A-8.

But if you're aiming at aircraft, and expecting to hit them, the Hog C is still numero uno for kill power

Remember in the A8 you have up to 3 different types of rounds being fired, all with completely different trajectories and aeordynamic properties.

OTOH, the Hoc C has only Hispano 20mm, thereby making it much easier to hit with.

So A-8 is a uber plane?

Fine. Fly one tour with it

(those 30mm really rules IF you are able to hit enemy with them

)

Wow.. when you're defensive you can get anything you want out of someone's post. Someone saying "an A-8 took down a hangar faster than an F4u-1C" is translated to "proof that the A-8 is uber".

Could it be that he was suprised when the test revealed this? Maybe he'd been listening to the pro-Luftwaffe scream "overmodeled hispanos" so much that he wasn't expecting the A-8 to excell in anything? I really wonder why it wasn't a pro-Luftwaffe pilot that presented this data? ...Oh... that's right... it doesn't support the load of BS plw's have been trying to sell everyone on.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Dinger did the same kind of testing a few months ago and found that the Hispanos and MG 151/20 were on par. However the whiners don't like facts too much, so the anti-Hispano whining was not curtailed.
