well here is a funny thing,
the 13mm round is as big as the .50cal round...........so why is it so much less destructive than the .50 round????
whe i realized that it took a ton of them to cause any kind of damage to an enemy i always assumed it was because the 13mm was modeled as the equivalent to the .303.
so now that i see that my assumption was incorrect i am behooved to ask.........why doesnt the 13mm do the same level of damage as the .50cal round? is it something to do with the type of round fired, i.e. softer metal, poor quality? or is it the amount of powder used to propel the round? etc etc. does anyone know why?
before you tell me i dont know what i am talking about and all the other lame things that people will say instead of answering the questions asked, look at my stats. i fly the K4 on a constant basis, it has 2X13mm/300rounds each. i have stayed glued to the arse of a spit and ripped into it using up almost 150 rounds of 13mm before being forced to break away due to incoming enemy. the spit continued to fly and fight without any visible effects on its performance. this is not the first time i have seen this type of event, this event was just last night a few minutes before i signed out so it is only the most recent.
this is not a whine, this is an honest question. if there is an actual reason for the difference then i would like to know what it is. if there is not a reasonable explanation based on fact for the difference between the damage between the 13mm and the .50cal rounds then is this something that is intended to be rectified in the near future?
