which ammo to saw off wings and blow up fighters

[Doc_uk]

Ive change all my ammo for the spitfire to incendries, and other hight impact ammo, but i still havnt seen one plane catch fire, the ammo is just like the default spitfire ammo, doesnt do anything

Weird, I see that all the time. Plus the fires that spread all over the planes. I actually seem to be able to shoot down more planes with E3 when using MG:s as I can not seem to hit with cannons that much.

In the spit I use a 50-50 mix of Dewilde and AP (4guns one, 4guns the other) and I find it very effective when my shooting is good. One problem I'm having is keeping the plane steady in the vertical plane on the gun run, that makes it real hard to get enough ammo on target.

Simple fact of the matter is that no matter what ammo you use 303's are just not very good at tearing up airplanes. The German 8mm on the other hand while still a rifle caliber gun has a substantially heavier bullet (not to mention a very nice selection of ammo) so is capable of doing much (or at least some) more damage if you can get enough bullets on target with just 2 guns. As for the 20's the Germans agreed with us that they weren't very effective, that's why they were so quick to convert the E3's to E4's the minute the Mine Shell guns were available.

I think we're just going to have to get used to not so spectacular action at the other end of our guns until we get better ones. (that won't be so long for the Lufties)

this is not quake you dont pretend to kill people online but to prove youre a better pilot

[BadAim]

Not me. I want to KILL KILL KILL! and by all of this killing prove I'm a better pilot. I'll be happiest when I first see a flaming pilot streaming his failed 'chute fly past my canopy.

How to change ammo anyway? I can change, save and click OK hundreds of times, but it will always stay with the default settings. Can't even load bombs because of this.

Well, the whole menu is a real bugfest... please fix it ASAP

Make sure you press save, and then "Okay" twice (including when you go back to the screen where you choose your fighter) You can't hit cancel there or it deletes everything...

make config
save it
Okay out of weapon screen
Okay out of airplane selection screen

No, this doesn't work for me. I cannot use the customized loadouts in quick mission.

I went to
option
plane
loadout
guns
changed the load out
saved it
ok
ok
quick mission
choose mission
switch to particular plane
cannot see the loadout I saved
also when changing custom loadout and saving it under this name it is not implemented when choosing custom loadout in quick mission. Sometimes I only can choose empty loadout in quick mission. It is porked.
