The ultimate armament

[uberslet]

Also I don't remember seeing either the tiffy or tempest mentioned. 4x20mm.

bahh, forgot bout me Tempy. i love her, fast, fun turner, 4 hispanos, perty plane over all!  tiffy isnt bad, but ill take my tempy any day.

I have to say.... The ultimate armament and corresponding platform is a Ta152 with no GM1 and proper development (no rushed production gremlins), larger wooden tail surfaces, fowler flaps and drooping ailerons, and a single MK 103 in the nose, with ~100 rounds ::  Hole in one every time.
Maybe wingroot 20mm's too as the Ta152H1 has, if you're lacking confidence.

Lets see..... I got two...

One can carry at a max, 3400 rounds in 8 .50 caliber machine guns, and can carry 2500lbs of bombs + rockets.

The OTHER can carry 2 .50 cal machine guns w/ 400 rounds or 4 .50 caliber machine guns w/ 1000 rounds and to benefit with it, you even get a 37mm watermelon.

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

Yep, the way the guns are on the P-38 makes it one of the most lethal gun packages in the game, even though it's only got a single cannon and quad .50 calibers.

IMO, it's like that just because of how concentrated the guns are. If it were like that on any other plane, I doubt it would be nearly half as leathal.

That's exactly what he said.

[sethipus]

109K4 w/ two M2's in the cowl and 2 20mm Hizzokas in wing roots.

This is almost what you have with the 190D9, except they're MG 151/20s and not hizookas.  The wingroot 20s though on the D9 are almost as good as cowl-mounted, in terms of convergence goodness and whatnot.

8 50's

[Krusty]

A large caliber (either 30mm Mk108/Mk103, or a NS-37) with anywhere upwards of 60-90 rounds in the nose, and 2x 20mm (Mg151/20 are fine, but hizzos also welcome) inside the cowling/nose, upwards of 200 rounds each (250rds ea. plus 90 rds 30mm total).

Best armament?

my brain.

no wonder it seems like i'm always fighting unarmed opponents.

[titanic3]

  1x Mk108 30mm (60 rounds)
  2x MG 131 13.1mm (400 rounds)
  2x MG 17 7.92mm (600 rounds)
_____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ ________

2x 250kg bombs
or
1x 500kg bomb
or
10x R4M air-air rock
or
4x WGr21 rockets

Seems like a mighty fine bird. Fit all that on a Ar 234 airframe that's smaller. And you got one heck of a interceptor.

Planned weapon configurations for Ta 152C

That'd be flying rock, I'd keep MK103 though

[Krusty]

They never had the Mk108s outboard. I don't knwo why they needed pods, when it's almost the same wing as the 190A-8, and the A-8 had the weapons internally mounted.

However, I'd love to try that puppy out with just the central guns (4x MG151/20 and 1x Mk108) as it really flew on the 152C-0!!

I doub't it was ever planned to get it airborne with ALL weapons at once. These are just all options for weapon installment. Not all could have worked at once, the outboard MG 151 would have to be removed for MK108 underwing pods for example.
