Hrm... okay. I think I'll buy that, then. To me, that's not how I judge "lethality", but now that I know your page uses it, that clears up the issue.

I think the 205 takes quite a bit of practice to get good at (more than I've had, at least). I can tell you from the receiving end, though, that someone who knows his 205 is very hard to defeat in either a turn fight or an energy fight.

Err... of course this is NOT my page, but DoKGonZo s...
and the lethality was tested by Hammer respectively computed by Tony Williams.

I´m just a happy user of that splendid resource.

I love the C205. To me it seems like a better turning at high or mid speeds, and when I fly it, I can keep in a turn with a spit ( Will with it still in my vision area) Get up close to the enemy and then just open up, and BOOM! there dead. C205 climbs great, and its got good turning. I love it, and it will love you to, if you think it rocks.

C 205 is a fun little plane once ya get used to it. Make sure you have your cannons set in and I like to burn off the wing tanks 1st then the main tanks.

I wouldn't mind taking the MG option once in a while if they made the wing guns 12.7mms as well. There are a few sources that say the 202/205 had 4x 12.7mm.

EDIT: I mean I'd like them available for the 205, I don't think the 202 version we have ever had 4 12.7mms, it was a slightly different version. The 205, however, probably had the ability to mount 12.7mm or 20mm in the wings.

I tryed the C205 out with 50% fuel and it seemed to handle slugishly maybe I just dont know how to fly it right. And it seemed that the enmy. planes was able to get on my tail easely. one this I have noticed is that I was 200meters away from a plane and I had to unload all my ammo into it before it even caught on fire but he made one pass at me and took me out. I know I was hitting his tail because I could see the wight marks but you would think with a full clip of ammo he would go down. Oh and the outhjer plane was a zero. I had my wepons set a 350 meters anyone know what I did wroung here?

Your cannons are in your wings. If the meter said 200d you were probably under 200, and your guns were set to 350 -- your cannon rounds were going around the target most likely. The 12.7mms can kill but you have to hit in the same spot.

Also if you're in a tight turn you REALLY have to lead more than normal because of the cannons.

Until you consistently hit with cannon I suggest you not fire your MG at all. You're seeing MG sprites, and thinking they're cannon. You have to train yourself to shoot MG151/20's. Flying a 109 will help (with gunnery, I mean)

In a turn fight, the C.205 suffers badly from a case of the wobbles. The slower you get, the worse the handling becomes. Beating the 205 is a matter of getting them to turn hard enough to burn off their E. A slow 205 is quickly a dead 205.

One advantage of the 205 is that it is easy to fly as long as you stay reasonably fast. However, it is a handful when slow. There are others with this characteristic, such as the Yaks and the Ki-61.

Against the Luftwaffe's contemporary, the 109G-2, the C.205 is outclassed.

Once you know the C.205's weaknesses, you can try to avoid situations where those weaknesses can be expoited. That is, as long as the other guy cooperates.

My regards,

Widewing

Your right on that one Lusche! I hit a prime field with the vulch-light on and ended up with 19 kills of everything from La7's and niki's to sets of bombers trying to roll. I ended up losing my rudder from a manned ack that popped and I still got a few more kills. Slid into the runway on my belly and got around 230 perks. The next hop I took a 262 and clipped an invisible tree at the end of the runway..... the look on my face -->

That was divine punishment for all the vulching!

Honestly! To sully the name of the Macchi by using it to VULCH! The indignity!!

What are you flying in this scenario, Widewing?

205's legs are a bit short for "escort duty". I've generally used it very successfully in field defense. It's a jack of all trades and master of none...and its got cannons....lots of cannons.

Flying the 205 teaches you to cruise to and from combat. The problem is that you need to burn fuel if you want to climb fast.
