The Wirble

[bustr]

Is that a comparable cannon to the ones used on 109's/190's etc?

It's superior but, cannot be installed in a 109 and would have to be in a ventral pod in some cluncky way in a 190. It weighs about 1000lbs and the barrel alone is about 4ft, overall length about 13ft. It can handle 900m\s and faster rounds allowing it to reach out with distance. Where as the MG151\20 has a shorter barrel 3.5ft, overall length 6ft, weighs 92.5lbs and depending on the round 700-800 m\s.

I love this thread

Maybe, but I wasn't referring to that... I actually didn't even spot it until now  

 

Just went back and reread and found it......

Probably because that's the way I'm usually typing myself    (ever read my messed up in game spellings?)

Yes, and it doesn't fit with your knowledge. Either type better, it get dumber.

why would one choose the Osti over the Wirb...the Wirb has better visibility in the gunsight making it easier to track crossing targets. Lethality wise they are extremely close within  1.5k. because the Osti has poor barrel stability it offers little benefit in killing fighters that are diving on you and Bombers absorb the 37mm like its made of memory foam.

Takes some practice in the Ostwind & when you get it down it has a big advantage on the Wirbelwind. Only time it is not competitive from my perspective with the Wirbel is when the Ostwind is trying to fight off multiple diving targets at the same time.

It is ridiculously effective as an AA platform. And considering it's entire production run was about 3 1/2 units, the reasons for its inclusion are spurious at best. If it's going to be in the game then include the built in stoppage  I.E the mag change

3 1/2? Lot more than that were made.

Naysayers aren't going to like this, but, the Wirble damage threshold should be lowered!!! Hitting one from the side or rear with 20MM should kill it, but hard right now to "track" the darn thing!

I have done testing offline with an m3 on a Wirbel & you can take out the turret with one well placed 50 cal. Granted I was right along side of it & not very realistic to normal game play being that close.
1 ping will do it though.

Amen to what you said.
