No cannons for the spits

[esmiol]

they were during bob some hurri and spit with 20mm canons... really few less than 10. but most of time these canons was so heavy that the plane was losing a lot of performance... and most of time can't even pass throw the fighter cover to fire!

in fact it was more modified prototype than really operational plane...

at this period spit and hurri don't have cannons. wait the maybe future updates/addons

19 squadron had Mk1b spits with cannons, but early trials had the cannons jamming, this actually caused a yaw effect on the aircraft (because 1 jammed cannon leaves only 1 firing on the other wing) this spoiled the pilots aim, so no real use of them occurred during BOB, I believe 1 at least got some hits on a He111, but no shoot down.....

Why not add some laser death rays while you're at it.

The game is about THE BATTLE of BRITAIN.....and as others pointed out there were few operational cannon armed Spits this early.

But hey, it didn't seem to stop them shooting down plenty of german aircraft.

Equip yer spittie with 1/2 Dewilde ammo and 1/2 armor piercing incendiary at about 200M convergence and watch those Huns fall!

They actually switched them for the spits from the flying school (traning centre) during the battle of Britain
