Hi Alpha, there's a guy asking for more of these; have you got some links to some footage like this?

Keep in mind that because it's a controlled test, the hit is pretty much perfect and the shell detonated optimally.

Online in IL-2 world it's possible that the hit didn't register, or it did and it wasn't a solid hit (like the one above). Since pretty early on when they made some changes to the MK108 I haven't had any issues. It's utterly devastating.

Last I recall every other Mk108 shell is incendiary that is only supposed to explode if the fuse is immersed in liquid. But those explode as regular fuse in game with nice big fire bloom but not structural damage.

Record Mk 108 hits and playback the track with arcade=1. If you don't see fragment arrows, it's not an MG shell.

Aaaaah, thanks, that explains a lot. I was wondering why sometimes my targets escape unscathed after clearly taking a hit from a 108.

I think a safe technique is to aim for a one-two punch. Rapidly firing at close range (which isn't hard given the fire rate) with a brief burst is usually enough. One hit kill is unlikely but... hardly anything honestly survives more than three hits.
