6 X 20mm?  I was wondering about that myself when I saw the loadout.

It looked like 4x20mm at the hangar.  Are you sure its 6?  It also looks like 4 from the cockpit.

Even if its just 4... those N1k's sure come appart when you get a shot on one

Outstanding use of the four cannons by wrapping them up in a sinister looking blue package.  The Corsair finally has some "bite" to it, equalling the N1K's and almost equalling the FW-190's.  However, the trajectory and low rate of fire do not lend themselves to the spray and prayers.  Well aimed sniper shots from long range are now rewarded with at least some damage and the quick burst at convergence range almost guarentees a kill.  The American plane fans can now share the firepower enjoyed by the Japanese and German airplane fans.  I think the only way we'll see machine gun armed planes in great numbers from now on will be if the performance of the Mustang is restored.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks the P51 has taken a performance hit.  Either it's been taken down a notch or I just stink as a pilot, which may very much be the case.

Mig eater. I would say that the F4u1c is the easy fire power king of AH. The FW has more tubes but the effect of the better hisp. cannons is very telling in accuracy, (esp manuvering) and range. Plus the thing does not seem to run out of ammo...
Dont let these things behind you - they will take chunks off of a fighter at d1.1
