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

[Furball]

I absolutely love hitting snapshots in a 110, can get some outlandish kills in that thing, the view is great too.

Same deal goes for the Mossie.

My beloved N1K is awesome too once you get used to the ballistics.

I am such a cannon dweeb.

The mossie's gattling cannon is perfect for...

The sheer volume of dweebs the MA is teeming with.

10-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.

 Anyone who flys the 110G-2 will tell you never to take the 4x20mm Mg151s unless you want to die. I always take 50% fuel plus DT and 2x MG151/20 and 2x Mk 108 / 750 20mms and 255 30mm. once you get the hang of it and learn not to put it in a flat spin you will beable to turn that thing on a dime. Use flaps and trim as much as possible. Don't fly with stall limiter on and you can out turn mossis, P51s and some P38s also if I don't screw up I can outurn SpitXVIs,SpitXIVs, and SpitIXs. It will take a while to get the hang of it but when you do its the perfect fighter/buff hunter.


Edit: Main reason I fly LW is the cannons. I hate 50cals sure they can hit out to 1000ft but snapshots are useless. 2x Mg151/20s or 1x Mk 108 will take mose fighters wing off. Plus killing bombers is ALOT easier with 20 and 30mms

What's a "Mossie?"

[moot]

De Havilland "Mosquito" fighter-bomber.

[Nilsen]

110G2 followed by A8 and Jugs in third place.

Nothing beats shooting down a 262 in a 190a8.  By far my plane of choice.  If flying it has taught me one thing is only engage when I have afford the fight.  It turns like a stalling C47 and barely outruns a spitfire, but BnZ is where its at.

Plus if the situation lands you right, you can probably shoot down 20+ aircraft with stock ammunition.  I can't how many times I've used less than 150 rounds and I'm sitting on 5 kills.

Other favs:  190g-2, 110g2, p38

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

Which fighters do you like best (for armament)?

Hi,

The A8 i one of my favorites and keep a great armament, how you can say its not manouverable??

Its manouverable like hell, it only miss climb ratio and sustain turn, but once you know how to manage energy, speed and the insane rollratio, they at least will have bad trouble to get you down. If you have a wingi, also in an 190A8, both with 2 x 30mm(even 4 x 20mm are great), you be the king.
You easyly can evade Temps, Spits and La´s, by rolling, this give your wingi time to make a snapshot kill.

Greetings,

Knegel

Psssh roll rate it only works if people don't aim for the cockpit.

Plus when people do the little super snap roll o overshoot. Problem with doing is this. 1 when you do it you bleed off energy and control plus all I have to do is aim at the axis point of which you are spinning and pour fire from th best plane in the game P40B.  2. If I do oveshoot I only have to go up and your mine second time around.

P40B's uber guns that just cut through planes like butter. Enough ammo for about 9 kills. Faster than that running LA7, can turn better than a zeke, and can climb better than a spitxteen off the runway while you go by at 500mph and die. In addition, to being able to outdive jugs. Oh did I mention the fligth time lasts longer than a lancaster going to the moon?

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

I thought it was .303" peashooters in the nose?  

[killnu]

109K4...or G14 with 30mm loadout.

Yes, inability to shoot and therefore an inability to kill things with mgs.

Four Hizookas, just have to get it right for a fraction of a second.

[Angus]

Try as well the CHog and the Tempest
4xHizooka and lots of ammo

Kweassa, the MG151/20s are wing root mounted, not in the engine cowling. Not that it matters that much in terms of convergence, but I'm a picky guy!

Wobbling goblin, as E25280 said, the best thing you can do is finding your style and trying to understand what type of armament fits it better.

Personally, just as Larry, I don't like too much the MGs, because I'm a bad shot and most of the times all I have is a quick shot, so I have to hit hard. I like a good mixed pack with cannons and MGs, like in my beloved Ki84 (or in the 190D and C.205, lots of ammo there, too!), but don't disdain 4 good hizookas, if you have the chance!
