Most Powerfull Gun In BOP

[dkwookie]

I had a rare trip in a bomber past night on strike in a Blenheim. I was surprised how effective it's rear gun is. It seems to me more powerfull than the B17. A couple of direct hits is all it took to bring down a chasing fighter.
So question is what's the most powerfull gun in BOP? I vote the Blenheims rear monster

[Robotic Pope]

The most powerfull gun in the game is the Yak9T's 37inch cannon. 1 hit = 1 kill, problem is its very low fire rate, low ammo count and doesn't hit the target very often (its ment for use against tanks afterall, not planes). It is super satisfying though when you just tap the trigger and watch your targets wing rip off.

[Soviet Ace]

I downed a B-17 with two shots from my Yak-9T. Never did it again, as I hate the Yak-9T. They should have never added that plane, it's useless really. Russian fighters weren't meant for ground assault. They were meant to protect the infantry and ground forces all together, from incoming fighters and bombers.

The most powerful gun is whatever one I have when you fly against me :p

[Luftwaffe_Rommel]

I thinks all the previous responses are all correct but I'm a little confuse. "The most powerful weapon" refers to most effective weapon of a dogfighter, bomber, or the most destructive weapon in the whole game. I do believe the most powerful tail gunner is the Blenheim, never trid the Yak9T but do believe that cannon mounted on a plane can be deadly. But most important is the most destructive weapon outhere is the one u fly the best. Whatever that means for u Aces outhere. ---Luftwaffe_Rommel----

Here is what I fly when I want to destroy planes (In arcade)

Strike: BF 109 G6 it can take both planes and bunkers. "I discover the destructive power of the G6 on bunkers don't forget that copycats". Sorry about that lest continue.

Capture the airfield: P51D5 Mustang with a load of 2 1000lb bombs

Team Battle: IL2 M. u got ur six cover + armor n speed (IL10 = no speed)



Dogfight: Any of the Spitfires are Kings in Dogfights.

Brilliant. We still need to get that match up on xbox live. My xbox disc was broken so I need to get a replacemt

[FOZ_1983]

Powerful - That goddam artillery piece thats in the nose of the YAK!! Direct hit is deadly.

Effective - The .303's on the Hurricane, due to high rate of fire, wide spread, lots of ammo.

Im im not just saying that because im a Hurricane fanyboy (before anyone says it :P )

Eeeehhh, I think it was:

dk... some pretty cheap discs on ebay. would love to see you on xbox.

I will get a new disk over the weekend. I bought an xbox copy and my son broke the disk. I managed a grand total of 2 dogfights in my time of ownership!

[Crosshair14]

Strike: B-17 (But its a big target but it packs a hell of a punch. And its good on all lvls. No lowering of elevators or Alerons.)

Capture the airfield: I-153 (Though slow it can land at low speed just like its grandpa the PO-3.)

Team battle: P-51(Arcade)
BF-109 G-6(Realistic)(3 slots down on alerons. If u have a flight stick dont rudder it will spin. If you do get in a Post stall Gyration(Slang for a stall) Just enjoy the ride. If u struggle U r dead. If it doesnt pull out of the stall and spinning. bail out its the only thing left.)
Spitfire Mk 9(Simulator)(6 slots down for perfect flight on alerons. Dont worry bout elevators its fine at full)

Dogfight: P-51 (Arcade)
La-7(Realistic)
Spitfire Mk 9(Simualtor)

I think you got your ailerons and elevators mixed up.


Most devestating attack in BOP = Me262 Booming down on a bomber and hitting with all 4 mk108s :cool:

The best plane in the game for me with at least no deaths and a few kills in Arcade is the I-153 (20mm cannon with attachable rockets for bombers). The plane is a little outdated, but on the PS3 I shot you down a few times in that slow turning BF 109 of yours.

I cast my vote for the Yak9T, a 37mm autocannon on arcade is good against anything but your lucky if it doesn't rip your own plane up on simulator.

[Soviet Ace]

Well just one single burst from the 37mm cannon on the Yak-9T is enough on simulator or realistic to cause a decent stall and make you fall back to earth. But that's also because the Yak-9T isn't a very powerful plane anyway.

[Korsakov829]

That 37mm is something that should have been put on a heavy bomber. Very powerful gun on it, could easily take out early WWII tanks. It was just put on the wrong plane though. On a IL-2 it would have made a nice combination, but it still is the most powerful gun ever put onto a WWII plane.

[bobbysocks]

the germans had a 262 with a 50mm mk 214 mauser.

[Balderz002]

What about a tank busting Ju-87 - With the 2 37 mm Bordkanone BK 3,7 gun, that would be mint. No doubt there would be some mentalists trying to dogfight with them if put in the game..............

Think how much harder it would be to shoot down an XB-40, than the B-17G in the game..........

You mean the modified B-17 with the twin top turrets (the original where it was, and the second just behind it), and the waist gunners with twin .50 Cal Machine-guns put together. Meant to be used as long-range escort bombers for the other bombers, going to bomb Germany.

Yeah, that'd be scary to attack one of them.

They also modified some B-24s to be bomber escorts also.

[Korsakov829]

I've seen a 50mm grenade on a old jet, a line of 37mm guns mounted on a bomber and some rockets. There is no way I can decide on the most powerful gun ever mounted on a WWII plane.

[bobbysocks]

i will say the 37mm was used consistently and in huge numbers. the 50mm on the 262 was an experiment and not that successful...and not used largely. the larger canon on the mossie...i dont to what degree it was used. i would have to throw my hat on the 37 due to its success rate and was not only used in P 39s but the soviets had such good success with it they carried its use into their ac.

[LonePanther46]

In terms of the most effective gun, its the 12.7mm high-velocity machine gun in the ventral turret of the Il-4...
It makes out of range shots nearly impossible due to its range coming so near to the mg151/20's on German planes and the hispanos on the brit planes.

It's rate of fire is roughly 1500Rpm; only 300rpm short of the russian 7.62's on the I-16 and the Il-4.
It will chew though the armour of anything short of an Il-2/10 with ease and due to its high penetrative power, almost guarantees a kill on any logical pursuer.

Personally I hate 'tail gun-Charlies', particularly the ones that boast about cheap kills.Though saying this, I have to admit that the Il-4 is my favourite night fighter (on sim of coarse) and I find it to be an effective heavy interceptor due to its incredible rate of climb and of coarse the massively effective ventral gun: just climb up and park uself ahead and in front of a B17 and watch all that russian steel puncture the canopy and ignite the fuel tank...

[Rambo Rich 360]

Lately it seems the most powerful gun in BOP is the one that's always on my six, (or 5 or 7 for that matter).

:cry:

I've been wondering how u get that Sig. How do U? the Pic. Of the planes with your name on it. I know how to take pics. but can u do that sig if your only on Xbox 360? Or is it both PS3 and Xbox 360?

[P-51]

You need to get onto a PC to do it. If you want one then just ask ;)

[scottyvt4]

dave - seen that before awesome esp the footage of the attacks on the ships



Kav - 100% agree a mossi in bop awesome lol :)

[BRIGGBOY]

yeah it should be there instead of the il10
