30mm damage

[Spikes]

I was cruising around in my 262 and took a direct hit in the cockpit from a 109K4's 30mm and flew along.

I too have had some lucky survival from 30M few times. In no particular order (all with me in pony, go figure )


I can never remember what cannon size  in the 262.


262:

 hit my right wing; took out all 3 guns but wing stayed intact.


109K4

 hit my engine, just took oil hit; one hit wing, took out guns but wing intact, one on tail, just lost rudder.

YakT - hit rad. but didn't suffer anymore. He sent me film and he did in fact hit me with that big O 37MM

For the record this bug also effects the 37mm (so not only girly tater) doesn't happen often but in particular it occurs if you land a snap shot at around 90deg side on to the dweeb16s wing it only suffers a fuel leak...   

Spit is only plane out of the entire set I've encountered any bug with hits, even the Lanc goes down to a single 37mm at the right place. 

I've yet to capture on film though as I hardly ever have film recording. I'll post the film if I ever save it.

Seeing how the Yak-9T's 37mm is easier to shoot than the Mk108 30mm...I don't get the above quote

Considering rate of fire of 37mm and even a Goon point blank can fly between the rounds without a scratch. 37mm is completely different, you have to time a single round for a kill, 30mm you can just give an uneducated quick burst. Yes 37mm has some range to it but that wastes rounds when you only start off with 32, the real advantage/skill is with well timed snap shots under 200. Not trying to hit straight and level con at 1k.

1 shot 1 kill.  Anything more lacks skill and class..

Thanks for not derailing the thread any further

[Gixer]

Was just having a laugh, not serious and hardly derailing a thread which is already months old.

Metephorically speaking, anyting bigger than 7 inches, you cannot feel.

That's enough.

Of course, I'm not into that kind of thing. There are some people however, that have experienced (women)that problem.

Sadly, I don't have the flim but just last night I got into a low fight with two jugs, shot them both with good bursts of taters, saw the hit sprites, but neither went down.  They ended up killing me.  Now I know that the jug is tough, really tough in fact, but really....  How many 30mm does it take to kill one.  I know I saw at least three sprites on each of them.  Shoulda kept the film I guess.  Sometimes I accidentally delete it immediately after the flight out of anger. 

The bottom line I think though is that I need to get better, at gunnery and flying.  I shouldn't have allowed them to get me after I shot them I guess, and I should have put enough into them to finish them off too.  I'll keep working at it.
