I admit it, I love big guns. I love the P-39's 37mm. I fly the Hurricane IID for Air-to-Air uses. Yak 9T? Yes, please. The K4? Sure, if I need to get some altitude fast. B-25? Damn straight.
I particularly like the Hurricane IID's stopping power, especially against P-51s. Right, Ruler2? ;)

We call them taters!!!!

You better believe it! :rofl But I still think the Yak is better, the nose cannon is easier to aim IMO.

Well sure them are all great but well what about the fw190-A8 with the 30mm gun package. Being in a luftwaffe squad i fly them anyways but WOW one quick pop of the trigger and even a b-17 or p47 goes bye bye.
In my humble opinion the 190 gun packages are great.

I used to hit the CV hard with that B25H cannon 3 shots each and all but carrier were sunk. Hurricane & big guns YUP! good to kill panzers :banana:
-
Never had much luck as far as air to ground goes, but love the big guns in the air. Even killed a set of lancs with the 25H's cannon at 2k. He was pissed that I never entered gun range :P.

While it may be easier to aim, with paired cannons, you don't have to worry about the plane staggering on after surviving a spud. I mean, how are you going to land a plane without wings?

The 190 with 30mms is pretty heavy armament, yes. I just don't feel that the trade-off of weapons for major loss in maneuverability is justified.

I've found that the Hurricane is best for turreting, so that you get the kill when they tower. Unless it is a T-34 or M8. Those are simple to kill.

Call them what you will but they are BFRs to me.

+10 fer taterz! :aok

I like upping an il2 for base defense and HOing with the 37mm ripping wings off with one shot. I shot a f4 at 1k out and giggled like a little school girl when it went poof. :x

How is one going to land without a pilot, or an engine, or even its stabalizers? About the only thing thats going to limp away after a 37mm hit is an F6F, Il-2, or a P-47. Even the, its going to be a rare occurence.

Oh you have to try sneaking out at tree level past the VH spawn and come in behind wirbles low in an IL-2 w/ big guns...Smokes 'EM! :banana:
-
No, I have the approach, firing run, and exit down, but all I manage to do is track them, and every once in a blue moon, I turret them. I've pretty much given up flying the Il-2. I think the problem is my accuracy while at treetop height, while having a brief aiming oportunity so I don't nose into the ground.

Convergence 600? I get fairly regular kills. Of course it get killed when they figure it out, and start watching the tree tops instead of the clouds. :x
-
Yeah, well 625 for me, but pretty much. And after a few runs at tree-top level, I get to 2-3k and dive in on them.
As I said, I have the approach, run, and exit down cold, but I can't hit anything.

No fighter limps away from a 37mm hit.. :t
IL-2 is the only single engine plane that can withstand a single 37mm hit except for a hit to the tail.

I've seen F6F's and 47's survive a 37mm hit. Not often, but it can happen.

I bet the jug did in war too. :rock

I hit a Jug in the fuselage and she kept on flying..however..she did not survive the second one :devil

See, see?! That's why the Hurricane works! Two 37mm rounds!

Actually 40mm rounds :)

I didn't know we can change the convergence in the IL2 :headscratch:
-
Well enker, I don't think that the loss of 4 kills per week is enough reason to loose all the speed you do by hopping from a Yak9T to a Hurricane IID.

Have you checked yet? :salute
