The Wirbelwind's 20mm are pretty much comparable to our Hispanos (Tempest, F4U-C)

Hispano Mk II / M2 20mm cannon (Spitfires, Hurricane, Mosquito, F4U-1C, P-38s, Typhoon, P-39D-1) = 880m/sec

Hispano Mk V (Tempest) = 840m/sec

Does anyone else think HTC is trying to distract us from the lack of developments in CT? Dont get me wrong, I LOVE new aircraft, but suddenly, out of nowhere, 3 new aircraft/vehicles (5 if you count variants) in so many months...

You'd complain if they hung you with a new rope.

There is 4 of em, there is only 1, 2, or 3 (excluding the temp, typh, nikki....)

Think of a typh gun on the ground.

CT will come when it comes.... I'm happy being spoilt like this.

HTC are going to need a holiday after this. They've really pulled out all the stops lately.

You Texas guys should buy them some beer!

Stay tuned for the Panzer update!

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.)

Yeah pretty big difference between ft/s and m/s. Some people were chatting about the WW's guns on ch200 and quoting 800-900fps.... That's dang slow for an AAA gun.

I punched it up really quick. 900 m/s x 3.28 = 2,952 fps.

That put's it about as fast, or a little faster, than the Rifle-calibre guns' we have in the game. Assuming that the modeling takes that into account.

Of course, it's firing a much bigger (wind resistance) but heavier (more mass/momentum) projectile. This thing will eat up plenty of aircraft, I reckon.
