Why are your 30mm's so weak against bombers?

So many bullets so little damage.

I usually don't have that much of a problem with 30mm's and bombers :confused:

Test 30mm offline, K4 vs B17. Saddle up at 200 and single shot 30mm into an inboard (engine\wing root). Count shots until the B17 looses the wing or blows up. Best case for the 30mm is 5 rounds to put a heavy bomber out of action in data from Rechlin. I can never find specifics for this in terms of impact location(s). Just the assertion from testing and pilots that 5 rounds is the average. But, we have many ww2 photos of allied bombers after landing with horrendous damage from flak and cannon fire.

They work for me, just aim for cockpit or wing root. Most 30mm "users" when killing bombers just shoot at the buff and expect the tater to kill instantly. Not the case, the body of the plane itself can take some pounding from the 30mm. B29's to be specific.

I should've probably pointed out that the plane I was using spat out 4x30mm's at a time *le sigh*

Doing everything right for no return is a little frustrating.

It's not the taters, I can't remember many times at all it took me more than 1 pass in a 262 to kill any bomber... Maybe your ping/connection? :headscratch:

Dear LCADolby,

We would be happy to review the film and tell you exactly where each round landed and how much damage was done.
