I think I remember that too Max. There were some odd bugs and quirks here and there.
I did do a retest of my earlier example. Same deal with a Bf109 and MK108 nose gun. Single round shots into the Spitfires. A few escaped the first shot relatively unscathed in two of the cases. Must not have been the Mine shell on that one? The second shot absolutely finished them off. So I'll revise my earlier testing results and suggest that any Spitfire LF.IX will go down in 2 hits from a MK108. The first hit is sometimes not fully lethal but as I said.. probably not the Mine shell. Even then. You have a cannon with a very high fire rate that often comes in installations of 1 nose cannon or multiple nose/wing cannons that can nearly guarantee catastrophic damage to a target plane in 1-2 hits.

I've rested twice since I posted last and the term just came to me, it's mach stem. I wouldn't put it past Oleg to have put it into the DM just to keep wing tip or similar hits from demolishing planes they should not be able to. IE, not a bug but a realism feature. |

MK108... definitely a killing machine!

Mk 108 MG shell has massive power but even if you hit a wing tip with a dump truck it's not going to destroy the whole wing.
It has limits in rate of fire, ammo and velocity affecting range that leave me preferring the 20mm. But then I've been pretty good at deflection and longer shots. The worst things happen online. It's like kids playing guns back before the country went nuts. Bang bang got you, nooooo you didn't! |
