new nickname for browning .50 cals
« on: June 29, 2010, 10:40:57 PM »
does anyone notice that out of all the aircraft armament in the game, that the M2 .50 cals seem to make enemies catch fire the most? it happens to me atleast....

thats why i think they should be affectionally known as "candle lighters" :aok :lol

Hm. I think taters consistently cause more flames than .50's, but they've already got the best nickname...

Seems like when a tater catches someone on fire, an explosion occurs shortly after. With the 50. cals they usually lose a wing after 10 seconds of being on fire.

The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

Without a doubt, unless you want to show extra respect, and call them Mother Deuce...
