the randomness of war,i see a tv show about ww1,there were allied bodys found around the edge of an allied fired shell crater in enemy territory,they had blown the whistle after the barrage stopped but 30 seconds later(could be longer)all the mud and crap came down

Good question vdomini... I think it must be a question about output speed. The moment the projectile has left the barrel, it is 'out there on it's own' dealing with gravity and friction - and the plane, if fast enough, is capable of catching up with it's own projectile. The analogi is ex. firing from a car or a train. The projectile does not carry with it the speed of the vehicle. I think... But to be honest, it's a while ago since I f*#d up my exams in physics...
Do anyone know what the output speed was for ex. a 20 mm?

Muzzle Velocity for a 20mm is between 500 and 800 m/sec for guns of that era. Hispano is about 750 m/sec. 400mph is 179 m/sec.

Thanks winny. Take it that it would be a hell of a dive for a Spit to catch up...

I'm guessing that the drop off in speed of the rounds must happen quickly, balistics give me a headache.

A Spitfire broke the sound barrier in a dive once.. I think it also fell apart.

Thank you for all your kind answering, my question was concerned more about the game physics than real. Still wondering if initial shooting speed is involved ( In real bullets travel very fast, it's impossible for a ww2 propelled plane to catch their own bullets, even during dives i think )

Fire a high velocity bullet horizontal to the ground and drop one at the same time from the same height - both will hit the ground at exactly the same time. The force of gravity acts equally on both irrespective of the horzontal force use to fire the high velocity round.

Here's a link to the F11 shooting itself down.
