Are there any actual accounts from WW2 pilots concerning the shaking of the plane when firing the 20mm?
I've read a few biographies, but nothing was ever mentioned about it one way or the other. |

I'd like to see the head shake for firing weapons turned into vibrations instead, at the moment its like driving down a bumpy road. Its not fun. But the concept is great so i hope it gets refined to create a great effect.

20mm I dont know, but the axe mounted 37mm in the Yak-9T, or the 45mm at the Yak-9K, yes. The IL-2 reproduced very well the effect and in the real planes was really so, that is well documented .The advise was to fire only very short bursts of 2, 3, 4 shells and this machines were in general assigned to crack aiming skilled pilots. Aircobras had also the same effect, with the 37mm but a little less.Of course, that´s very heavy stuff compared to the 20mm.
