Title: Hurrican II with 12 Machine Guns
Post by: Getback on April 20, 2013, 12:20:36 PM: :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

Didn't even know that option existed until last night's FSO. Almost 4,000 rounds of ammo and I ran out! It indeed was a fun plane to fly. I didn't do great but on one kill I must have shot every rivet off the enemy's craft.

Post by: Volron on April 20, 2013, 09:04:21 PM: Those 12 .303's will definitely do the job, especially up close. :O I was honestly surprised how well they did at the 300-400 range as well. Though you really want to be inside 300 for them to be most effective. Even a snap shot will sting within 300, especially at convergence. :D

When I was in the main preparing for FSO, a corsair cooperated with me spectacularly as I was diving in on him, hanging on his prop in perfect planform in front of me. I took the opportunity to shoot him in the middle of the fuselage, just to see if it would do enough damage to take him out. It did, handily. This is opening up starting around 400 on the way in to my convergence at 300. He was in two pieces by the time I figure I was at about 200 yards.

Best results occur inside of 300 though for sure.

Yep...only takes half a second to shear a wing off with that many guns.
