Animal every time I fly chog or niki I get a bunch of kills, just yesterday I shamed myself into a quick 7 kill chog sortie. Few weeks ago I had 11 kill niki sortie vs a bunch of people trying to capture my base, and who were vulching at will as ack was dead. There is no way you can make a comparison between 109 ease of killing and that of chog or niki. The 109 locks up immedatly in dive, it cant roll well at most any speed, chog outurns it at most speeds and at all speeds if chog has any E, the niki always outurns 109. The niki and chog each have 900rds of ammo which kills out to 600-900yds, 400yds 6oc shot is an extreme long range shot in 30mm. Animal you are one of the better pilots here, and good E-fighter types can do well in 109. Most cant thats why there are few 109s in MA compared to chog and niki. Average people vote with the planes they fly and damn near half choose chogs or nikis, not 109.
Now I fly the 109 a lot, so it obviously has good points that I find attracive. Its fast and accels well, it has good climb rate, and I do like the 30mm. But those are much much more difficult to use than nikis stupid FM and chogs heavy guns and questionable FM.
On the point of the MK108 30mm cannon, yes its very "efficient" as Hartmann once said, however it has serious limitations, it has terrible velocity-so no miracle 400 yard niki/chog snapshots. It has terrible ROF compared to others. Plus 60 rds dont last that long in MA.
If the 30 is so uber, may I suggest a trade. Any chog/niki pilot who thinks 30mm is uber and unfair, GRUNHERZ would be more than willing to swap armament. You guys get awesome lo-velocity 30mm cannon with 60rds and a veritable death array of 2 MG131, and I get your 4 20mm cannon.
Sorry bout some of the sarcasm, but comparing 109 to niki/chog cannot go unchallenged, it simply doesnt make sense.
