Yes, we need everything (even jeeps) with 20mm. Those .50s just suxors.  :D

instead of adding 20mm to everything, lets just get rid of anything with .50's

I've seen this 'addition by subtraction' thing before.  :D

Actually the game would be more fun if everything was equipped with 4x.50s.
"Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture, torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals."

Planes yes, tanking might get a bit frustrating though....

Even planes would be lacking.  If everything had four .50s the heavy fighters would be useless, the BnZers weakened in comparison to the turners.

P-51B? ;-)

Obviously my wish is no more serious in intent than Arlos's, the planes must be modeled correctly. Albeit I'd say the Hizookas are just as big an advantage to TnB fighters as BnZ fighters...kills on fleeting snapshots, or hanging by their props, or at very long distance at extending fighters, and of course, the ever-common "Pull back on the stick REALLY hard and HO the fighter diving on you". Six of one, half dozen of the other

Wimps...the 50 cal is just fine. Even those who 'spray and pray' have a chance. For those who can aim worth anything they kill just fine.

(Full disclosure: I fly the 190A5, which has the 20mm and bb shooters. I strongly suspect the 2x20mm/2x.303 loadout is not much more weight/volume on target than 6x0.50 of the PonyD, which has a higher rate of fire.)

And how many P-51B's do you see?  Yeah, almost none.

:airplane: When I first came into this game 4 years ago, if another aircraft closed to within 1000 yds of me, I could kill him very easily. Now, it seems as though the "con" has to be with in 6 or 700 yds before I can kill him. I know I have bad eyes and am a little older now, but seems as though the 50's have been dampened to some degree.
Blue Skies and wind at my back and wish that for all!!!
