Gunnery Percentage

Wait till you guys see the new Hispano Mark V round that we're testing right now.

It's knocking the JU-88 down at 2.8K!

What a gun! What a round!

Can't wait till they release the Spit XIV!

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

I've noticed one funny thing.

In the MA or any other game with icons, I usually manage 2-5 kills before I'm out of cannon in my G-2. I have 3x20mm on my G-2, total 400 rds.  

In H2H or any other game without icons, I usually manage 5-8 kills before I'm shot down, with plenty of cannon left.

Because of the laser range finder, I tend to shoot from greater distances, especially in deflection shots.  But in no-icons games, I get really close and kill the enemy with one swift stroke.  I'd like to fly like that in the MA too, but I've noticed it will just get me killed.  Because of the icons.

I say disable the range counter below 1000yds, that would do everybody's gunnery good!

Does the MkV hit harder? I thought the guns were lighter and faster fireing (ROF)but ballistically they were identical.
And didnt the MkXIV  have Mk II Hispanos?
This might well be the most inaccurate troll in history. But you should do well in a MkXIV against the JU88.
Even better then a 190A8 would do against a Bleinhem or a Hudson.
