Default CoD's 109E4 canons : overdone ?

Hi everyone,

If I fly a 109 usually my mount is an E3.

Lately, after months of seeing my kills online being reduced to 0.16% or 0.03 after flaming a bomber or killing it's entire crew before someone else in an E4 model decided to threw some eggs toward it, I took the E4 offline for a test.

My test mission is usually me vs 3 opponents. If I am flying blue my ride is either an E3 or a 110. My adversaries (AI) are flying what ever I want to shoot but mostly Hurri and SPits.

Usually with a full load of canon shells in a 109E3 I can with attention shot down 3 opponents at max before my canons drums are empty.

There on my second try of a E4, I selected 6 Hurri. In 10 mins all 6 were down (pls bear in mind that the more the advantage AI gets, the more aggressive they are - hence it was not simply shots from dead six on a row of seating ducks )

The last kill was scored with ONLY ONE shell left in each barrel !! Ok I did work it pretty well : very close and with a slight drift to point one of my canon directly in the cockpit (Old IL2's mk108 might help sometime ).

But guys at 380kph flying my nose in the rear of a Hurri how can 1 single shell kill the pilot instantly despite the turbulences (not in game) and the imposiibility to aim precisely with something 3meter off to your line of sight ?

And how can I shot down twice as many plane just with the introduction of a few minenshells in the drums (pls note default loading and default convergence)?

I know, we blue hve been whining for so long before we get the E4 and Devs are so much nice that they went back to tht drawing board just for that... But c'mon... this is turkey shooting !

~S all !
