My ammo belts are 4 guns nothing but De Wilde. 4 guns AP and tracer.
Attacks from sides, above, underneath, tried even dead 6 for a change, normally not my style. I never shoot further away than about 170-180 and closing in to under 100. Convergence at 150.
As said a good precise attack needs less than 100 hits to down that He 111. Often I need 150-250, but that is due to rather less than perfect shooting and is the combined hits of 3 passes or so.
Rarely I need 400-500 hits. Rarely.
While I agree and am happy that there isn't fires all over the place it still strikes me a bit odd that in approx 40-50 test attacks on a Heinkel 111 drone I was never able to start a single little fire.
Kabooms, yes, pilot kills yes, thin white stream (coolant, fuel), think black stream (engine oil), loads of holes in the wing areas, ailerons kaputt, elevators shot away, etc, etc.
But never a single little fire.
Now if the tanks are hard to set on fire that's fine with me. But never?
Next would be the engine. Never. No engine fires either?
