"Oh, OK I just hold this here button down and spray till I hit something.....Gotcha!"

Only is a gotcha if you averaged > 13% gunnery back in Brand W.

Gatt, we just ask that the the radio controlled glider bombs are available if the He177A-5 comes into the arena.

Just weighing in on the late war (prop)Uberplanes debate.

I say give the Luftwaffe their Dora-9.
I say give the RAF their Spit XIV.
But I also say
Give the Japanese their Ki-100.
Give the USN/MC their F4U-4 (let the player choose between cannon and MG armament in the hangar).

Only Dora-9? thats mean!
Japs already has that rare N1K2 and americans has that rare F4U-C.. Ok, wheres my rare Ta-152H or Dora 12 or 13!
Brits dont need spit XIV, they need tempest  ))
(I haven't flown that bird yet, but I have got sick of spitfries in every game but no tempest... typhoon is good change for once even)

I would lean back and have fun with star wars lasers, with no need to wonder how many kilometers deflection I need this time.

More likely, "how many bullets I save now when I don't have to waste bullets on deflection?"
Oh, btw. I've rip off many wings with .50s on less than 10 hits  )
Gotta say thats overrating my 20mm, which I can plunder into F4U for same amount. (and i always thought that cannon had better hit power per shell)

I dont know about "most" but that is exacly how I feel when I trade in my 151s for .50 cal. I never hit enough. Lots of accuracy but my shooting eye seems tuned to alot shorter bursts

Fishu, or whoever you are playing as these days, how about supporting your "star wars lazer" comments?

Do you have full RL ballistic/trajectory data on the various MG's modeled in this game? Can you then compare this RL data to what we're getting here?

Or are you just making another totally unsupported comment?

When I fly 109 (allmost everytime  ) I take 30mm with me because I feel thats only weapon which have enough power to bring down other planes....
Hardest part is to come close enough to use it  

If I just could have Hispanos in my G-10
