I have had enough.

The damn Fw's lose oil get pilot wounds lose wings with one ping from .50's from buffs

I hit them with 30mm and watch flashes and they fly home.

don't give me any crap about me hitting with 13mm cuz I bleed that ammo all away.

the power of the German guns is CRAP.

might as well use harsh language at them as good as the gunns are doing

I am quitting

Can't belive I am paying to make myself frustrated like this

I am DONE!!!!!!!!!!

The MK 108 was always my second favorite gun in AH, second only to the NS-37.

I don't believe the MK 108 is at all underpowered (as of 2.0 anyhow, haven't flown a 109 since school started lol). The problem with the 108 has always been MV.

I have no problem shooting down buffs in a D-9. Let's see how the MA did in general last tour:

Fw 190D-9 has 911 Kills of B-17G
B-17G has 367 Kills of Fw 190D-9

Fw 190D-9 has 653 Kills of B-26B
B-26B has 293 Kills of Fw 190D-9

Fw 190D-9 has 1222 Kills of Lancaster III
Lancaster III has 227 Kills of Fw 190D-9

Fw 190D-9 has 218 Kills of Ju 88
Ju 88 has 34 Kills of Fw 190D-9

And the A-8:

Fw 190A-8 has 632 Kills of B-17G
B-17G has 232 Kills of Fw 190A-8

Fw 190A-8 has 516 Kills of B-26B
B-26B has 174 Kills of Fw 190A-8

Fw 190A-8 has 834 Kills of Lancaster III
Lancaster III has 128 Kills of Fw 190A-8

Guess you need to work on your technique.

And your whine score is a little low too, maybe you should work on that as well.

Do you really fly in the JB squad? I normally admire their opinions.

However if this was a JB squad troll, well you got me, I swallowed hook, line, and sinker!

Attacking bombers with a 30mm is no problem unless you're taking bad shots at a not very vulnerable part of the plane. Try putting 5 30mm rounds right at the base of the wings. You'll get your quick kills there. Also try dropping 30mm rounds into the cockpit HO. The quick closure rate makes the bullets much more deadly to the buffs. And finally, try to attack bombers from anywhere but the rear, again closure rate will be faster and rounds more deadly. This also keeps you out of their tail gunners cone of fire, and makes it harder for them to lite up your engine.

I would just like to point out that 3 of those kills of the D9 were mine =).

And 3 of the Ju88 kills would be mine if I could afford to pay for a sub lol

I was flying the TA-152H and 3 times in a row as i swept in from the side angle I got pinged and lost my 30mm hub gun.

I was just really frustrated at how the buffs are pilot wounding and ripping my wings of from 1.5 away.

I think that is good that you find it EASY to knock down buffs in your D-9
I fly the D-9 and get hit in the radiator just being near a buff.

I had no problems before, I just noticed all these things with the NEW game.

I 'll get over it But I am taking a break for awile

gonna do somthing constructive with my time LOL

Instead of spending your time posting on the BBS, you may want to spend time figuring out why you allow a bomber to shoot up your plane???

The A8 has a very powerful guns package, either the 4 20mm or 2 20mm 2 30mm are buff killers extraordinaire.

190s are fighters, and buffs are targets. Attack the buff from the high 11 to 1, avoid any other attack unless the buff is engaging another fighter, then pounce on him and shred him.

Anyone who says the Luftwobble planes has poor guns is a bit suspect on their experience IMHO.

I have picked the 190A8 as my ride of choice based on the ENY value first (I want a plane I can fly anytime I want too, not when HiTech decides to allow me to) then the guns package, and finally speed and handling (unreal roll rates). Other than the endless wep and being fairly tough, the 190A8 has little else to recommend.
The things turn like a lumber wagon with flat tires. So keep it in the vertical.

If it weren't for the ENY, you would rarely see me in a 190. There are a lot better planes out there than the 190s, but none so good with such a high ENY and mean guns package.

Your mileage may vary

still not talking about how a .50 calibur round goes through my engine and takes out my 30MM hub cannon from 1.5 away 3 times in a row

is it a bug that the hub cannon gets knocked out every time a buff shoots at it.

or getting pilot wounds from buffs doing a HO attack

I attack from the 2 position on the buff and go after the # 3 plane

I am gettting oil and pilot hit every time

Well that is a rather stupid thing to say Fodder... all it really takes is a little experience to see that the LW guns are indeed quite poor. They are functional, sure, but compared to most other 20mm guns they are somewhat lacking.

If anyone recommends the LW planes on the basis of firepower alone, they are out of their minds. A Spit 9 with 2 Hizookas and 2 .50s has as much firepower as a 190A8 does, with roughly the same speed, better climb and acceleration, and much better handling. There is a reason the 190A's are relatively uncommon, and since they have similar speed to the far more common Spit/Nik, I've gotta go with the lack of firepower.

Especially when you look back on the C-Hog, which handled similarly to a 190A5, was marginally faster, but had 4 Hizookas. Why was that plane so popular for so long? I'm sure the answer is staring me right in the face, but I just can't see it.

151/20 are really poor guns. BTW, You may suspect as much as you want about my experience.

Ahem.... Our 190A5 performs in NO way like the lead-brick Chog.

yea!

watch what happends when you score hit with cannons from a C-hog or a typhe or temp.

Planes explode fron these guns.

if you are in a LW plane you are lucky to see a plane lose parts with flashes. if you score enough hits you see planes explode but nothing compared to the snap shot one ping hit from a C-hog!
