I tried it offline only to check on the P-38 with 10x normal ammo load. I'll check H2H after the "Dload 1.04" craze has past. Here's what I got offline:
Sometimes the drones warped so I had to chase 'em down. Anyway, the P-38 has no problems killing offline with the .50s alone. A few seconds firing usually ended in damage that would either bring down a plane or the drone exploded. Blowing wings off was easy only using the .50s, throw in the 20 mike-mike and those drones went BOOM real fast. Also tried the 20mm alone just to check. It took a bit longer than I would like to cause catastrophic damage. An example:
First drone took 4 full seconds of .50 cal fire to blow the wing and rear fuselage off. The 20 mike-mike took nearly 7 seconds of sustained fire, mostly hits, to do the same thing.
I did find one thing that helped kill a drone faster, yet used less ammo. Fire only the .50 cals to get some hits before adding in the 20mm to finish the job. I used 80 rounds less of 20mm ammo than if I fired all the guns at once.
My guess as to this? King-Hell net lag caused by both rotten connections and downloading 1.04. Remember 1.03 and the lag it came with? This is the same thing, on a larger scale since HTC has more customers.
Personally I'm going to wait until the downloading craze has past before checking this out in H2H.
