Title: straffing gvs
Post by: Hollywood on January 21, 2011, 06:38:39 PM
Which gvs could I expect to take out with 20 or 30mm in a fighter, besides the jeep?

You can track a panzer with well put shots

Try strafing with the B-25H (it looks a bit like a fighter if you look at it the right way, honest).  If you have tracers on, and the guy on the receiving end has a graphically-challenged computer, you can generate some amount of lag on their end.  This and large amounts of dust kicked up by bullets can help you make a safe getaway if you're against a Wirblewind.  And don't forget to lob a 75mm shell along with the 50cals, just so you can do some real damage.

You can also kill a flak panzie with 20mms but you have to come diving straight down at them aiming at the open turret.  You can even do it with .50 cals provided you have enough guns and the fire is concentrated in a small area but the risk of getting shot down is extremely high if the gunner is any good.

Neutering wirbles and osties is easy in just about any plane. Just wait till ou see them shooting at someone else then go in and pop them.

I shoot at tanks just to be annoying  ;)
