In terms of pure loadout, which fighter has best armament?

Fw190A8?

I really like having guns that'll pound enemy aircraft, the manueverability stinks, though.

Which fighters do you like best (for armament)?

Yak-T, or the potato shooter on the 109. For sheer joy of slaughter hard to go wrong with the Typhie or Tempest though.

Ki-61 and Ki-84's HO-5 cannons.  Excellent against fighters.

N1K2-J (Niki).

Many argue against the poor ballistics of the 20mm cannons, but that doesn't matter if you get close.  Besides, it carries a boatload of ammunition!

But, as you can see, different opinions abound.  The best thing to do is find your fighting style first, then pick a plane / armament that compliments it.

me-110G, i use the 30mm for HO and 4x 20mm for firing when turning because 30mm have a bit of recoils.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Mosquito Mk VI.

Four nose mounted Hispano Mk II cannons.

Nothing better in the game for killing fighters in terms of armament.

Bf-109G-14.

That spinner-gun makes aiming easy, plus you have the option of 20mm for a large dogfight, or a 30mm for hunting.

BF110-G2 with four 20mm's and twin 30mm's if you can bring them to bear.

You didn't ask which was the most lethal that you could actually get into position for a guns solution.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Theoretically, the 152...   nose-mounted 20mms + hub 30mm..

 
 Unfortunately, in AH world, where Hizookas are king, nothing beats the Mossie, not even the 110.
