The ultimate armament
« on: August 18, 2008, 07:29:48 PM »
Ok, name your best armament. Bring into consideration weight, ammo, ballistics etc.

Mine is Yak-9U with 2 ShVAK 20mm cannons (120 RPG) and 1 UBS 12.7 MG (340 rounds), all in the nose.

3200 .50 calibre rounds from 12 guns mounted in the nose, coupled with 21 HE 75mm artillery shells, also in your nose.  Then there's the 3,000 lbs of bombs.

in my opinion you cant go past the quad hizookas (MkV)

ya get a fair amount of ammo
the second best ballistics for a cannon (second by a fraction to the MkII)
RoF= 750RPM
Lighter than the MkII (by only 1KG)

and a semi acceptable snapshot usually means death to the target
this layout can do just about anything very well

2x 30mm Mk108 cannons, 8x Mg151/20 20mm cannons, 1x Mg131 13mm rear gun.

Couple in 24x R4M air to air rocket.

EDIT: The best interceptor on earth?

The nose-mounted quad 30mm's in the 262 are pretty damn mean.

The nose-mounted quad 20mm 'spanners in the mossie are brutal as well.

oh yer, the 4x20mm on the Chog are fantastic too, due mostly to the fact that you get some 900 rounds of them...

6 x 50 cal in the A-20. It's not just guns its the sight picture and stability at unusual attitudes. If you set the guns to 500 you can eviserate a con out to 800 yds. No question that the mossie, 110, P-38 all can hit harder but none are as easy to actually hit with IMO...especially at longer ranges.

I think the F6F has the greatest sustained firepower. Everytime I fly a Cat I come away thinking I havent used any ammo and yet have a lot of kills.

The P-38s current setup, maybe another 2 50s instead of the 20mm, but I would say it is close to spot on now.
