Planes That Are NOT 7.62 1940+

[icepac]

They're great for tickling at long range to inspire a runner into turning so you can catch him.

[Butcher]

Now please, stop posting planes with only two or four 7.62 mgs, .308 caliber does nothing!

No offense but your aim must horribly suck, I tend to land well over 4+ victories in hurri I's or C202s per run, maybe you need
to step away from the E Z mode rides with big guns and practice not spraying at 2k away.

Set your converg to 300 or 250 and learn to straddle someone, 200 or closer - I won't even fire at 400 in a c.202 or Hurri I.

Then again it requires someone to step out of the dora9 and P51D before they can actually learn close proximity aim.

8*303 cals are actually quite lethal, an one second good burst from 250-300 can take down any fighter.
2*303 cals are a pain in the butt tho (109g2 without main gun for example), but 4*303, maybe reinforced with an 50cal, that must be enough.
The problem is, the planes with the small guns are quite slow, the small rounds lose kinetic energy very quickly over d>400, ergo the late war runner simply walk away from you, without taking any visible damage.

2 .303's arent enough alone. they take a good amount of time at D250-300 to kill. your better off with a single .50 and a .303, this is because .303's take 4 shots to equal one .50 shot. four .303's is like having 2 .50 cals. 8 .303's is like having 4 .50 cals in your bird, and that is why the 8 .303's really do tear up some planes like the ones on the Hurri/Spit1.

2x7.62mms work fine.

I'm not saying I don't get any kills, I'm just saying I get assists with about a 4 to 1 ration over kills.  I do set my convergence at 200; in fact I set my convergence to 200 for everything except cowling/hub guns.

It all depends on where you aim your shots.  Not to be harsh but the people that actually play this game would know far more than the person that doesn't.

you seem to have forgotten that i am very well capable of playing this game, i dont see how someone like you could even miss the fact that you dont have to be paying HTC directly to play, honestly tell me how you missed it. but back on topic, 2 .303's really are not that great when being used alone. sure it matters where you aim, but most of the time they just dont get the job done quick enough. if you are fighting a LW plane in lets say a 109-F4, the 2 7.62's (same as the .303) are not that effective past D250, where most shots would normally be at D400-500. yes i played online enough to figure that out.

  Maybe you better get out the slide rule and figure out your math. first you say 4 ,303's equal 1 50cal then you say 4,303's is like 2 50cals well which is it?

   you figured it out online so please tell me which 1 is correct.

im sorry, i confused myself, 8 50 cals = 2 .303's

wasnt paying attention to that.

I think 4x 303s equal a .50 cal in damage, 3x 50cal is a 20mm so that means <insert large number here> of 303s equal a 30mm?

8x 50 cal. machine guns is the equivalent of 2x .303 cal. machine guns?

crap...lol im really not doing good tonight...
ok, 8 .303's = 2 .50 cals.

there, its cleared up now. *facedesk*
