minien ammo
« on: April 12, 2009, 12:48:52 PM »
has the explosive minien ammo been removed from the LW guns?

The Japanese, russain, and allied 20 mm SEEMS to hit harder then the LW 20mm?  190?
It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.

Look at the projectile strength table at the trainers' site.  It's based on fixed kinetic power. Only the hispano is clearly stronger.  The difference is something like 5% between luftwaffe (ignoring MGFF), commie, and japanese. IIRC US and UK 20mm are the same design.

I've noticed if I fly a KI84 and fire a short burst the plane I shoot at takes LOTS of damage.

I fly a 190 and the damage seems far less even with a longer burst?  And I allow for the 20mm goin through the prop on the inboard 20mm?

Could be my connect or maybe I fire less then I actually think but?

Just the way it SEEMS to me.

I don't soubt you moot just the way it SEEMS.

What results are you getting?

huh? The numbers are right there. Come up with a reproduceable and falsifiable setup and I'll be game. We've already argued "what SEEMS" and it's a dead end with you. e.g. that 190s are more agile with fuel in the aft.
