We get them all at once with the patch.

...after which we all send the wives back to their mothers for a few days so we can wring out the changes.  In my case the wife has to go a bit over 5,000 miles, so I'll have lots of wringing time   :D

If you're sending your wife 5000 miles away just for undisturbed flight time, guaranteed all you're gonna GET is "wringing" time. :D

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Not realy, remember it only uses x4 .20mm cannon, so the range is limited to 1k
However the rapid firepower will be needed now that we will also have x2 37mm planes and a 75mm plane flying around here soon.


Basicly, they kept adding more and more big guns on planes, without realy leveling the playing field for Gv's.
Hopefully this will help.

Now all we need is the moss to have its cannon, bet we wouldnt have to worry about a tail heavy moss ever again. :P

Its a FlaK38 not an MG/151 or an MG/FF. My guess is that it's higher velocity with a bigger shell.
Edit:
FlaK38: 2x13.8 centimeter shell, 900M/S
MG/151: 2x8.2 centimeter shell, 800M/S

Couldnt find any.. the MG/151 and FlaK38 stats were just from Wiki, so they may not be spot on, FYI.

Look at this, it will help you on the Gun Data:http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/ammotables.htm

If you look on that site, you will notice the data for the Flak38's M/V is correct. But the MG 151/20 is actually 710 mps, not 800.

These numbers' don't seem like much to most of you, but remember, these are METERS PER SECOND. Multiply by 3.28 to get Feet per second (fps.)

For those to lazy to look for yourselves, the FlaK43 fires a 3.7x26.3 cm round at 820 M/S.
