I am wondering which plane in AH2 has the most powerful cannons. For instance, caliber, energy and basically least amount of shots for the most damage in a fighter plane. Thanks

Yak-9T owns all in this catagory, you can destroy any aircraft up to twin engine buffs with a single round.
Hence, assists are few and far between :devil

B25H wins hands down. It sinks SHIPS!
Yak9T is a close runner up however, as is the new iL2, and the Hurri 2D with twin 40mm.
Of those the Yak is by far my favorite to fly. Not really effective against armored targets, but great for killing m3's, wirbles, etc.
-
With Killability the Tempest can do....stuff :D

If you wanted a cross between best guns and best platform to shoot them from it has to be the C-hog. The truest dweeb ride of them all and a huge ammount of fun to fly.

B25 isn't a fighter, and the Yak T is far too good for use against GVs.

How bout weakest? According to our games choices, Stuka with 2 x 7.9mm guns forward and a double 7.9mm for the tail gunner. :mad:

The Yak is one of the great secrets of the game. I dont fly the 9T, only the U, but its a great little fighter. Best of all a lot of other guys underestimate it.
I wonder what they did with the IL2s 37mms in the new patch? Did they weaken them due to the sniveling? I'd be very dissapointed if they did.

No, they said the cannons will now take damage correctly.
Yup, two kills in a tank last tour, lots and lots in the Il-2. Nah, you're not biased. :rolleyes:

I couldn't care one way or another about the ground war. In other words I dont give a fig enough, one way or the other, to give a rats arse which way the ground war is going. At least the air war is more mobile while most tank battles are glorified spawn camps.
And now they drive their little tanks right onto the airfield and shoot the airplanes as they spawn while hiding in little cartoon hangars, and while their little minions drive up supplies to them.
Now? At the least? If you can get a few IL2s up you can beat back this dweebery and pack them off sniveling and whining about the 37mm guns. Putting these guns in the air was a good move by AH, but obviously is going to cause a booger/dribbling alert among the Tanker dweebs.

Thanks for the info. I am pretty new to the game and it seems like i waste so much ammo shooting at planes. I seem to hit them a lot but I am not very skilled at staying on their 6 for long. I need something that will take the paint off. Great info and thanks for the replies. :aok

Nah, im takin' my 39Q heavy for gv runs. :rock
-
In terms of most powerful all together, B25H with the 75mm.
Otherwise,
Hurri IID 40mm - with AP rounds
IL2 37mm - AP rounds
YakT 37mm - HE rounds

Actually, the D3A Val has the weakest forward firing armament.

You're forgetting the B5N Kate... :noid

If you're new take a Spitfire. The 20mm Hispanos have a flat trajectory, a reasonable rate of fire and they pack a punch.

WAAAAAHHHHH!!!! the B-25H IS a fighter, and in addition whatever you want it to be.... ;) :D
I shot down a Seafire in one a few weeks ago :D :D

Actually the D3A 2x7.7mm and Ju87 2X7.9mm test identically for object damage power.
-
Lets face it the most powerful projectile in the game is whatever the red guy happens to be throwing at my plane at that particular moment, one shot pop! the weakest is whatever i happen to be using at any given moment, it seams i can put 20 or 30 20mm cannon rounds into someone and they fly around like i just tickled their bottom with a feather!

The Type 97 guns of the Val are slower-firing than the Ju-87's MG 17, and their synchronisation system was inferior, which makes them even slower. However, the practical difference wouldn't be huge - both armaments were rather ineffective.

NO NO NO< the IL2 with 37mm top attack kills tigers everything, by far the hardest hitting weapon in ah2...PS look at my kills this month :rock

Would be fun to have the Me410 with a BK50 50mm cannon and a Mosquito FB.Mk XVIII with a 57mm Mollins gun.

LOL think they are crying about the IL-2 37 mm?

I would gladly strafe vehicular sitting ducks with such uber-guns. While stroking my beard and laughing evilly no less! However, unlike some AH players, I am not possessed by an unreasoning hatred of the GV game and GVers so profound that it makes me twitch spasmodically while posting. Thus I would also see the reason and fairness in assigning such weapons a respectable perk-cost.

P-39Q was a cannon? Silly me, I thought it was a plane all of this time.
