i de acked a field with udie in a 205 the other day so yes applicable to all fighters, except i wouldnt try it in a 109 or a yak  

ps only knights may use this info, the rest of you must still use your big buffs <grin>


p47 is best for the job tho, .50 cal are better than 20mm for ack killing.

Yes- the trick is that you find where the maximum distance you can walk tracers in from- for me in a 45` dive I can see tracers hit at 3k. A little practice and you can jink your way in- use that flat .50 trajectory to just walk them over the guns and jink out again. Also guy's- don't be so prejudice! the B-26 can do a BEAUTIFUL job of this with the tight spread on it's .50's. I can fire from 3500k and see my spread walking over targets.
