You fly the Ki84b? I fly it a lot and i'd perfectly understand if the 4 Ho5 cannons are weaker than the 4 MG151/20 of the 190A6-A9. But my impression is that they are weaker than the 2 MG151/20 on the 190D9. I fly the D9 and the Ki84b a lot, and I'm not what you'd call a poor shot. I regularly land 5-kill sorties with the Frank in a fullreal online environment, but i get much more instant massive structural damage in the D9 with just 2 x 20mm and 2 x 13mm. Yesterday i've hit a spit 6! times at point blank from 0-90° deflection with the Frank's 20ies before it finally lost half of its elevator and the guy bailed.
The damage you produce just doesn't match anything you'd expect from 4 cannons. Even with very decent shooting, instant kills are rare in the b model.
