50cals......

[Kweassa]

just seems like the 50s are under powered thats what im trying to say

  Your gunnery's underpowered. The 50cals are fine.

 But you don't have to feel bad about it. Inexperienced game pilots have this strange tendency to think that there's always something wrong with the game, and not with themselves. For every mishap they blame the game first, never themselves... and then get bashed by people who know better, learn the hard truth, and then soon realize this game makes more sense then one thought.

 It's sort of a rite of passage. You do stupid things, and then learn to not do it again.

     Well climbing a drone up to 300K should keep him busy for a while

Just my $.02 but I think that the .50s work pretty well.  Haven't flown in a year.  Spent a little time on last nite with a buddy who's new to the game.  2 sorties in a P-51b that only carries 4 .50s.  3 kills, 2 assists in 2 sorties that were mostly spent touring about.  2 of the kills and 1 assist were on B-24's.  

'Course it helps to hit what you're aiming at.  

The Allied machine guns seem to "feel" about right to me.  Being non-explosive, you've gotta get a good solid burst right around your convergance range to see their real power.  You do that though, and they're quite effective.  That jibes with pretty much all of the ancedotal accounts I've ever heard/read.

my f-6 .50's work great, accurate, and pack a good punch when on tgt. I normally fly with 190', or 110.. but when i jump into a f-6...I kinda like being able to light em up from 800-1000 mtrs. with the .50's. my convergence is set at 500. all guns. No complaints. Id mess with your convergence, i think. Whats good for 1 pilot,  may not be good for your marksmanship. (yes, its a matter of personal marksmanship) everyone is a bit different. not better, not worse, just different shooting style. more free advice, its worth exactly what you paid for it,...nothing  

[SkyRock]

One good 1/2 second burst at convergance on a wing and it will fall off, that is if you have the guns set all to hit at the same spot.

yeah wolf thats the think i know that 50cals can punch through inches of pure steel this is why im saying there underpowered, wings on planes are very vary thin steel but normally its not even steel sometimes its fiberglass or aluminum      
if 1 can punch through an inch or so of steel 10-20 should rip a wing clear off.

But most people do have a hard time putting 20 bullets into the same location during combat

A hit % of 3 would require  600 shots to get 18 hits. And most of the time they are raked all over the enemy plane, instead of being concentrated on one point.
