It'll come  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).

Am just happy I got more than one egg, even if the 50kg's are very hard to kill osties with.

Do the cannons have AP ammo?

I dont think so, altough I havent seen or tested the plane yet.

MG 151/20 had special AP round (not sure if it used tungsten or steel) that was especially made for penetrating armour. It had quite amazing performance, I think it could penetrate over 50 mm of steel at 90 meters! Information can be found on Nowarras Fw 190 book published in 1960's.

The F8 is a PRIME candidate for this kinda ammo  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

It'd be THE ostwind killer.

It shows that people have been checking it out, 0.5K/D ratio.

Heh.
