It's not difficult at all. Actually, most of the time, you injure or kill the guy in a 109 even from dead 6 o'clock. The .303 are actually very effective and I rarely need to repeat my attack. Short burst and he's done with pieces falling off (usually rudder or flaps), water and fuel leaking, often the fuel tank bursts into flames (unfortunately only visual effect unless you see black smoke, too), but most of the time I bet the pilot sees red and has got great trouble seeing you.

From your flying at ATAG, it's clear you're a very good pilot and shot, but your K/D ratio is on as favourable as it was on a 109. RAF is very challenging to fly against good 109 pilot, don't you agree?

What a BS

Never in any case .303 hve to be effective and it is well implemented here.

Step off guys of your auto satisfaction mode. We wld hev a chance to push this game frwd.

Ye gads not a .303 are porked whine ........

Wait till the .50 arrives at least before starting my ammo is porked fest.



As with all ammo convergence is the key to getting results, you can sit behind your enemy firing till all belts are out,
without correct convergence and aiming you are wasting your time.

The convergence factor is way overrated here IMHO especially with the 109 guns. This is obvious if you aim at a slightly offsetted target (like from low 6 for ex) when the aiming point is off the plane.

But we were talking Hurricanes and Spitfires here.

Are you questioning my "On topic" convergence ?

Yes.

Mr.X: look it's possible to do lots of damage and kill 109 pilots with .303 (flying RAF)
Robo.: yeah I agree they're very effective
Tomcavip: BS!
Alpha: No BS when you shoot at convergence
Robo.: No BS when you shoot at convergence
Tomcatvip: convergence is overrated, esp. on 109s
Everybody:

Nope, just Chuck Testa.

Ok: the .303 CAN be very effective when used right. What Alpha said - convergence is the key. What I described was BnZ attack in a Hurricane against a 109, I really rarely have to repeat as that guy is finished and very often injured. It's more difficult against bigger and better armoured targets, but 109 is not a problem if you manage to get close enough.

Many pilots (not just me, there are far better shot than myself btw) can get any Axis bomber in one pass. If you hit a He or Ju in the right spot from the right distance => wing off.
