30 & 20mm aircraft guns
« on: August 29, 2010, 06:06:13 PM »
I'm not sure if the mechanism was even invented yet, but a 3-5-10 shot burst mechanism would be nice to limit impulsive fliers from spewing their precious ammo with an overly excited trigger finger. NOT ME! I'm asking for someone else...  :joystick:  :lol

How about they just learn to conserve ammo.  What's next...combat autopilot that flies, fights and shoots for us while we just sit back and watch?  Or how about auto-landing systems?

W7LPNRICK, would this have anything to do with an incident in which someone held down the trigger in a 163 when firing at AKAK?

Har! You told on me! :rofl It was sarcasm guys come on, look at the faces and the chagrin. Of course it's up to us to let off the trigger. I know that I'm not the only one who wishes he had a few more rounds when they're all gone.  :banana:

I swear the 163 only has a 2 second burst ammo load.  that's how long it lasts me. I can shoot 20mm cannons from my spit, basically one at a time, but in the 163, one quick pull and its all gone.  This somebody hates me  :noid.

with the 20's on the La's, it takes me (on a good day) about 10 to 20 shots to down any fighter, and in the Il2 it takes me about 20 to 30 shots with the 37mm's to take out anything but a tiger, I dont know how much ammo the 163 gets, but if its over 100 then it should be way more then enough to take out any buff's

63 rounds per gun, you have to be a true marksman with that thing

Not being able to hit a single bomber, with 120 30mm rounds, when you can choose any angle you wish to attack from in a 163 is kinda bad. An average pilot should get at least 2 of the 3 in a group. No true marksman about it. May be wrong, but I doubt it.

How efficently (as far as number of rounds used) you kill bombers depends on the range and how much deflection there is; 30mm balistics are beyond terrible, IMO.

Please stop making comments on things you have no idea about.  If someone was to follow your advice they would the be 2nd worst player in AH with you leading the pack at #1.
