De-acking.  1 37mm round per gun.  Can hit them from 1.5-2k out if I do it right.

well, what i do with the yaks, is to litter. i get my aircraft in front of someone like...i think it might've been dedalos, but not sure.....but anyway, i get myself into a bad position, he then shoots my plane, and parts fall off. the time i'm thinkin of, i think there was f6f parts scattered over a 3 or 4 mile area.

While I haven't been around too awful much lately, and have spent less time in the 9T than I used to, I always preferred keeping it on the deck. Kept my max alt to around 7k if advisable. Also loved seeing a Corsair anywhere near me. Wish I could find some of the videos I have/(had?) of lobbing the 37mm out to 800 indicated and blowing a F4U or Mustang to bits. To be such a small airframe it takes a pretty surprising amount of lead to bring one down. Don't be shy with it while learning how to use the tater.

I am lucky to hit anything in one, and that 10 kill sortie is something i'll never probably do again lol. Deacking is fun with it, so is vulching. I use it more for buff busting, assuming I can make it to the buffs  :D
