33percent, ok, this with or without the mg damage?
Can you be more specific?

33% would be for the Hispano Mk V firing at 12.5 rps.  http://gonzoville.com/ahcharts/index.php has the Hispano armed aircraft firing at that rate, which is what I relied on for that figure.  Supposedly, our Spitfires have the Hispano II, which had a rof of 10 rps, but when I test it offline it's more like 11 rps.

I think it's safe to say that our AH Hispano cannon has about 20% more gunpower than the MG 151.  When you compare the 4 cannons of the FW-190A-8 to the four cannons of the Typhoon, the typhoon might have 80% more gunpower than the FW-190A8 (not counting the 190's mg's).

The collision model sucks
The scoring system is broken
The ENY system is porked
The big maps suck
The small maps are boring
HO'ing is lame but they did it WW2 so it's a valid tactic but it takes two to HO but anyone can avoid a HO and I love it when someone tries to HO me because they're lame and I can get right on their six and shoot them down because they're a noob and they're trying so hard to HO me that I'm looking two moves ahead at how I'm going to shoot them down and drink their beer so I HO anyone that gets in front of me because if they're in my gunsights then it's their fault but if you HO someone then you don't have any ACM skills and what is a HO anyway is it a shot when both guys can shoot each other or is it a front quarter shot and what if both guys are head on and can shoot but then one guy moves off-nose and the other guys shoots him is that a HO because see then that first guy couldn't shoot so it wasn't a HO it was a front quarter shot so then it wasn't a HO but that's just semantics isn't it?

DUDE!! That was awsome!!! :lol

Ok, so this would be my final calulation (I hope):

Tony Williams' site http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/WW2guneffect.htm shows this:

Hispano II
Rof: 10
Gunpower: 200

Hispano V
Rof: 12.5
Gunpower: 250

so a 25% increase in rof gives a 25% increase in gunpower, that's straightforward enough.

If our Hispano cannon has a rof of 11rps, then its gunpower is 220.

The MG 151/20, at 12 rps (confirmed offline in AH), has a gunpower rating of 192.

So the Hispano in AH has ~15% more gunpower than the MG 151/20.

So, if you want to compare the Typhoon to the Fw-190A8:

Typhoon gunpower: 880
FW190A8 gunpower: 768 + 48x2 (for the mg's) = 864

Only looking at cannon, the Typhoon has the 190A-8 outclassed in terms of gunpower, adding in the mg's of the 190 it should be almost equal.

So many of the 190 pilots online only know how to 'roll and cut' now...



I guess the idea is to wait for you to overshoot...  :rolleyes:

They shouldn't need to cut. The A5 can do a really nice fast scissors that can milk an overshoot easily without chopping the throttle. Whilst the 190 isn't one of the best turning aircraft in AH it is one of the fastest at changing direction, hence it can make a nasty knife fighter if flown correctly and with good SA.

I took the 109 G2 up offline and tapped single rounds into the left wing of the Pony at ~200. Took 6.

Did the same thing with the P-38. (It has a Hispano right?) Took 5.

Is there any kind of "damage randomizing" effect for impacts to the same spot on the same plane?

Doesn't seem too bad. I guess ROF is the deal-breaker.

Hit the same spot eh?  :rofl   :O

Close enough. I don't think the damage model does things like take into account whether you are hitting the main spar on the exact same spot every time, or some such complexity.

Maybe it's just me, but I see alot more folks flying the 190 lately and landing some nice kill scores in it...and not only those crazy JG squads either.

I think the 190 is one of the easiest planes to land a 20+ kill sortie in. It might take a couple of re-arms but the 190 can get you in and out the fight with ease. Even the A8 can get you a nice swag of kills
