Nope.

Pretty hard to have all your guns knocked out without your wings flying off. In which case... in some craft... yes, I have had all my guns "removed" before. :neener:

Had a 51B with all guns taken out...

It happens sometimes in the K4 due to a really committed headon shooter or to getting a bad angle attacking a buff. Usually you'll get oiled or a radiator hit along with having all your guns knocked out. It's rare, usually you'll keep at least one bb shooter, but it does happen. Only 3 guns and they're all grouped together. I'd bet it happens to La5s and 7s also.

Nope, but I avoid going head on with anyone. Learn some ACM's and never loose a gun

My Yak only has two guns and on occasion I'll lose both... Then I try to slice their tail section with my prop...lol

I usually end up losing guns in the LAs when I get hit in 'em. :salute

But Fugi!!! All those poor newbies who can't hammerhead, snap roll or even a Chandelle!

I don't chose to go headon with anyone, but you surely know as well as I do that a dedicated headon shooter will land some hits on you, no matter what. You just can't avoid every single one. It's way easier for them to yank into your nose and spray than it is for you to keep avoiding them just right every time. I don't line up for headon shots by any means.
I do know some acm by the way.

+1 on the Yak9T
And I have gotten a "maneuver" kill afterwards as well.

All I was saying is that as long as you fight a fight, not just spray and pray, there is very little chance for anyone to land hits on you. Look at some of the top stick flying. Think back when you had a shot at them. They get skinny at just the right moment, the turn the right way to deny you the shot you were going for, and they work to force you into a spot that if you are not good at getting skinny they WILL fill you full of holes.
A very large percent of the threads are kids asking naive questions...
total de-gunning.... ya it happens, mostly do to being stupid and getting yourself in the line of fire.
which plane do you shoot first..... the one in my sites! then move because 6 other bozo's are trying to jump your ass! It's call "target of opportunity"
which plane gives you fits.... anyone thats flown well! come on! The Spit16 is a great plane, but if 20 dweebs come at me the odds are still in my favor, but send just one of those "brits" that fly them all the time, I'm screwed.
To many kids in this game playing it like it's WoW. Don't get me wrong, there are some kids that know more of the history about WWII than I would have thought, and some of these kids are very good for the game. On the other hand, it's really starting to sound like a facebook page around here.

I actually fight a good number of the top sticks in the game fairly regularly, I know how they defend, and I know how to do that my own self too. I'm not talking about duels though, I'm talking about the main arenas, and that's a whole different beast. And in the main arenas, especially in furballs, you're just going to get some guys that line up and ho, over and over and over. You can't always dodge those guys, so you will get shot in the face. Sometimes you make a bad pass on a bomber, or it turns out you made an attack on 999000 and no matter what angle you come at you get hit, so you get shot in the face. That's just how it is. In a duel, that's an entirely different story.

Only time I have ever had it happen to me was in an IL-2. Kind of hard to avoid HOing a Wirblewind. :noid

Have lost all 8 303s in a Hurri 1 due to one pass on a B17 formation. Lost an aileron too.

I've had a few sorties were some of my guns have been shot out. Was it like a few pings and there gone?

De-gunned in all American fighter aircraft. Besides p39s and p38s.

Yes, I've also been shot from behind and taken a pw and lost my hub cannon before. :(
