Spud gun lovers
« on: February 06, 2010, 03:50:21 PM »
I admit it, I love big guns. I love the P-39's 37mm. I fly the Hurricane IID for Air-to-Air uses. Yak 9T? Yes, please. The K4? Sure, if I need to get some altitude fast. B-25? Damn straight.


I particularly like the Hurricane IID's stopping power, especially against P-51s. Right, Ruler2?  ;)

You better believe it!  :rofl  But I still think the Yak is better, the nose cannon is easier to aim IMO.

Well sure them are all great but well what about the fw190-A8 with the 30mm gun package. Being in a luftwaffe squad i fly them anyways but WOW one quick pop of the trigger and even a b-17 or p47 goes bye bye.

In my humble opinion the 190 gun packages are great.

Never had much luck as far as air to ground goes, but love the big guns in the air. Even killed a set of lancs with the 25H's cannon at 2k. He was pissed that I never entered gun range  :P.

While it may be easier to aim, with paired cannons, you don't have to worry about the plane staggering on after surviving a spud. I mean, how are you going to land a plane without wings?

The 190 with 30mms is pretty heavy armament, yes. I just don't feel that the trade-off of weapons for major loss in maneuverability is justified.

I've found that the Hurricane is best for turreting, so that you get the kill when they tower. Unless it is a T-34 or M8. Those are simple to kill.

I like upping an il2 for base defense and HOing with the 37mm ripping wings off with one shot. I shot a f4 at 1k out and giggled like a little school girl when it went poof.  :x
