How many bombers can you shoot down with .303?

[trademe900]

And do you think they are accurately modeled?

Average two of them offline, one sure online before CTD

It seems like a lot of people think it should be possible to shoot down 5+ bombers on each mission. Imagine if that was true. The Luftwaffe bomber force would be destroyed in weeks.

I think you've got a few parameters that would need to be addressed though right?

Lets say in RL they had no gunners no lil friends to lend a hand...quick bursts of 303 with correct convergence on an engine then I would say good night Vienna so yea it would be possible but we know it didn't go like that..

In this game you have to have your convergence spot on to down multiple bombers with 303's and try not to shoot them from dead 6..

As for them being modeled correctly? who knows but what i can tell yer is that a 303 round isn't a big round and doesnt pack a big punch hence why we had to have 8 of them! and hence my original point in regards to convergence

Does anyone find that the Do17z is way easier to shoot down than the other 2?

How would I know? Never sat in a WW II plane and shot up bombers...


In a Hurri/Spit I get 2-3, I shoot 150m, hit about 20%.

Limit is the ammo load.


In the G50 I get usually 2 Wellingtons, the 3rd seems always to escape heavily damaged, me being out of ammo for that final burst. Same, 150m, hit 20%.

Comes to it, is it possible to map 4 guns to one trigger, 4 to another for Hurri/Spit? Think 4 guns suffice if hit square and fair from short distance.
