whoef, lot of text
anyways, it doesnt really say wich armament is more powerfull. I found a table online stating that the 'standard' 109 with 2x 13mm and 1x20mm, pumps out more kilos of ammo per second, than the standard 4x7.7mm + 2x20mm spit armament.

in game however, I keep on shooting and shooting with the G-2, F-4 or G-10, but the enemy doesnt go down. When I use the spit, I will down the enemy in 1/10th of the time it took me with the 109 (same accuracy).
I know the G-6 does not have this problem, it pumps lead like a gatlin gun, but it is slow, doesnt turn so nice, has a high recoil, and... to be honest... I think the guns are an overkill. I prefer to get a bit more performance, and trade it for firpower. Thus getting to the F-4/G-2, but then we get the strangely underpowerd armament.
