Title: Who likes it when things go BOOM?
Post by: Krusty on August 30, 2006, 05:26:36 PM: I wish we had a 6-cannon fighter.

Okay, correction, I wish we had a 6-cannon, 1-engine, fighter. The 110G performs rather poorly 90% of the time. Wasn't there a Kawasaki that had 6x 20mms? There were some 190s that had 6x 20mm and 2x cowl MGs. The TA152C-0 and the Me410 both had very heavy cannon setups.

I don't know why, I'd just love a heavy gunned bird. Even if it performed horribly (like an overly-heavy Ta152C), as long as it had a decent top speed I'd love to use them to intercept bombers, or to pop flak turrets (one of my new favorite passtimes in a 190A!).

I know a lot of folks would rather have 2 hispanos or 8 50cals. Something inside me just delights when I see the target go BOOM.

Who's with me? :lol

So, what guns package do you prefer most?

Its more satisfying to make them suffer a slow and painful death than to put them out of their misery quickly. :t

Ho'er dream machine.

Post by: Schatzi on August 31, 2006, 03:12:24 AM: I prefer 8 guns....

.... and suffering targets.....

.... my favorite "kill" is a ALT F4 of the opponent.....

.... due to soundcard overload :t.

Post by: Furball on August 31, 2006, 03:25:12 AM: i think it is far more satisfying to put a burst of small calibre guns into an opponent and make them explode.

just love the thought of them being back in tower still listening to for the next 5 seconds :t

Post by: Meatwad on August 31, 2006, 07:21:27 AM: Is the boom caused from the pingpingping

or was it caused from him having his sound turned up way too high and in the frenzy to turn the sound down, he augers into the ground :rofl

Post by: Flayed1 on August 31, 2006, 07:47:00 AM: I'm with Shatzi on this. Nothing is better than straifing an Osti with a spit or Hurri MK-1. it's not that hard to smoke them with the 303's, I can only picture the B****ing on the other end about how there is no way 303's should kill the turret lol I've heard it a couple times from guys on my side. :)

Post by: Furball on August 31, 2006, 12:44:06 PM: if anything the .303's should be better at taking out osty turrets than anything else due to ROF?

its an open top turret remember, no protection at all!

Post by: skysnipr on August 31, 2006, 01:05:07 PM: You know, as long as I kill the guy, I don't really care how it happens, just that it does happen. Whether he breaks apart and goes spinning down, or he catches on fire and burns to death or he just disintegrates in midair, it's all good.:cool:
