the dora should have the same value as the p51d
3-gun LA-7 1 perk
Yak3 .... the damage model deserve a perk of 5
Nope, Dora carry less ordnance, have a fraction of P51D endurance, keep E worse in turns.Also Dora gets it's radiator perforated if you look at it long enough, whereas I've never ever seen a radiator leak on a p51D.
In the bomber killer role it's a matter of ordnance on the A8.Lets say you're out to fight at medium alt Spits in a melee arena, and a bomber set show up- B17s..You are equipped with 2*20mm and 2*13 mm 50% fuel to stand any chance against those pesky spits.You HO and kill the mid bomber in the set, and then you have to be lucky to get a second before you have to fly home with half a wing ( if the bomber gunners are good).Flying at altitude with a 2*30mm 2*20mm 2*13mm and a pair of anti-air rockets is a whole different ballgame.Flying in a Mossie you enjoy the advantage of 4 Hispanoes 4 nuisance mg's and suffer from a fragile pilot.I DO know what I'm talking about, no-one else have the accumulated number of sorties in the A8 last 8 years I have.
