The big gun in the yak is also good for that but again.....speed at high altitude not great.   

Older sims coded by HiTech would model the energy a bullet should have when it hits an airplane so I am wondering if the MK103 hits harder regardless of the explosive charge.

Mk103 is a one-shot wonder against all fighter targets, and at a much longer range than the MK108. You might even get a Yak3 with one shot - naaahh  :old: .
 I wish my old squadmate Torquila could fill in, he spent most of his time flying the BF410.
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

i've been flying the k-4 quite a bit lately. my connection is pretty decent, my ping is generally 20-22 and will peak at 30. im only an hour or two from the server. but I get hits on fighters with the 30mm from time to time that do no damage. firing just the 30 i got 2 hit sprites center mass on a jug in a row the other night before a third round did the deed. sometimes its the deadliest thing in the world. sometimes it shoots blanks.
