Ok, let me rephrase it: If you are you are efficiently and consistantly killing BVs in RB, then your stats suggest that you excel only at this. I also generally pick my fights carefully so flyouts to kills doesn't really mean anything, deaths perhaps but not flyouts. Frankly I'd rather get a couple of assists and survive than rush in get a kill and die. I fly with a stick and always have done, I don't have the coordination of the instructor. never have I claimed to be anything special. On a final off-topic note, sling as much ad-hom mud at my stats as you like. fly whatever you want I couldn't possibly care any less. what I did in the 520 could just as easily have been a Spit Mk.1a, P-36, P-40, Lagg/Yak-XX etc, etc, etc. I also haven't told anyone to fly anything. If players generally fail to climb or decide to rush into a half baked tail on attack that is their problem, it isn't the BV's fault they were stupid, and it dosn't make the BV overpowered. Planes at or even bellow the BV's BR ARE capable of intercepting AND killing BV's. Likewise if a quarter spaded D.520 running stock ammo can kill a BV then anything at comparable BR's can.

no more no less, If a Beughfighter can intercept a BV at 21,000ft as it hits its first target then anything can. they serve to show that what I stated could be done can be done. My citing of 2 events is not in anyway dishonest. I don't 'Obviously fail most of the time' merely because you've decided that is the case. if I decide to engage one then it is going to die. things Kasakura flat out stated cannot consistently be done. I kill a BV with a rather primitive and lightly armed french bird, my BV is latter killed by a flying brick at high alt. That way Ground Targets wouldn't be the best belt, and you could get reliable solid damage even with HEF-I.ĭo you have a different interpretation of the following? His assertion is demonstrably false. They should up the solid damage of some of these projectiles, especially high velocity ones like AN/M2 and Hispano, which have double the muzzle energy of MG151 or ShVAK. The HEF-I shells of hispanos are utterly terrible, they do about as much damage as a single 7.7 and almost never set a fire. They should still club their way through aircraft to some degree, even if they explode. In real life they wouldn't just completely evaporate, their tips and whatever remains of the shells would still be solid projectiles.

They are high velocity 20mm, at the moment their only penetration value is due to their HE component, hence they are utterly terrible at killing bombers. For some, like mineshells this sorta makes sense, with much lower muzzle energy, and much higher HE content, but for AN/M2 and Hispanos with their HEF-I this does not make sense. At the moment they're almost completely 'just HE rounds'. Many HE cannon rounds need more solid penetration and damage.
