MG 131 is this gun all but useless? I dumped 500/950 rounds into a lancaster. I stood off and pinged him for 3 minutes counting around 300 or so hits with mg's only only to see 1 smoking engine. Is it me or is the 131 a little lacking in hitting power? To me it is an upscaled MG 17, if it wasnt for the subpar 151 I don't see how the FW's can be effective. This is not a flame but a concern, I found it funny flying the P-47-25 I got hit bya spitfire, I counted 45 hits from him, and checked my damage, nothing hit everything all workin, dove and flew away. That is how I feel firing the 13mm on a buff, especially the lancaster. Has anyone else noticed its lack of hitting power? I know the first thing people will say is well you have only 2 of them. Which I agree with but I was able to rack up 3 kills vs tough birds and a buff in the p-51b, forgot to select other pair after I dropped my bombs. I wish they could post some data on gun performances and ammo load out. For I know after reading everyone's posts in here, you all are very concerned with modeling accuracy. I would like to see the MG 151/15 though, would be a nice buff/fighter killer.

Thanks 603, but I am looking for in game data, I have loads on the specs from books. I am wondering what ammo type/ ROF/ Velocity they are using. HE Incendiary tracer this is the one I want to know if they modeled in here. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
