Do you mean muzzle velocity or rate of fire?

The BK5 has a rate of fire of 45 rounds per minute and a muzzle velocity of 920 meters per second when firing HE rounds.

The M4 37mm gun on the P-39 has a rate of fire of 140 to 150 rounds per minute and a muzzle velocity of 610 meters per second when firing HE rounds.

As you can see, by one measure, rate of fire, the P-39's is faster and by the other measure, muzzle velocity, the Me410's BK5 is faster.

As far as round drop will the added wait of the BK5s round still drop more even with the higher velocity?

The BK-5 shells have a very flat trajectory.

More massive objects do not fall faster.

That chart explains why I get so many kills in the 110g at 900 yards.

The Bk 5 is not an autocannon, but a self-loading cannon, so you cannot expect great ROF. It's basically a KwK 39 tank gun fitted with an automatic loader.




The British did much the same with their "Tsetse" Mosquito fitted with the Molins 6 pounder (57mm) for anti-shipping purposes.

I simply cannot wait to use this gun on this aircraft against all sorts of targets...

It's not a tater chucker, more like a melon.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

You can do that easily with guns already in the game. You're in lethal kill range of the bomber's guns at that point.

Not really, takes a lot of spraying to make your hits count. 1 50mm should knock the wing or tail off at 800yds.
