Thanks,

The most accurate 20 mm cannon in the game is the Hispano which is fitted to most of the post-1940 British fighters, as well as the P-38s, the P-39D (option) and the F4U-1C version of the Corsair. The Tempest has a slightly less accurate but faster firing version of the Hispano.

Imagine how accurate one fired through the propshaft would be.

Still waiting for that plane to be added.

Wouldn't that be the P-39D with the 20mm option?  :headscratch:
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

As Greebo said hispanos hands down, so Spitfires, Hurricane II and Mosquitos. Probably the F4U-1C as well.

Most of the 30mm guns are inferior overall weapons to the hispano imho. Worse ballistics and ROF make them much harder to employ effectively. Except for the 410.

Imagine the havoc a k4 with center hispano would cause...

Fighting mostly bombers, I'd still prefer the MK108. But I guess that would put me in the minority :old:

I'm just trying to rally them into adding more early war planes.

Best 20mm is the Hispano.... I know it’s already mentioned but when I’m rolling a chog or tempest I except to make over 7 kills with ease.
