Ive shot at a p-51 two times with a mk108, and the aircraft still was in one piece.
After 3th hit the mustang fell apart.

Ive shot a tempest 1 time at the wing with the mk108, and he only lost a aileron and kept on flying.

A mk108 30mm hit at the wing should rip the wing off, at least for fighter aircraft.

I've seen this year after year but I want to know why everyone thinks that the cannon shell will hit with the best possible impact all the time? If I'm not mistaken it's more than possible that the shell will detonate late and cause some, but not catastrophic, damage to the target aircraft. It should be utterly devastating with the right hit (i.e. shell detonates perfectly in the middle of the wing or fuselage at the right moment) but that not every hit is a guaranteed killer.

I know the frustration sometimes... you hit with the MK108 and you see a little fuel leak and some damage. But then the second hit destroys the plane utterly or destroys every system and makes it impossible to fly. It seems to do the job very well.. Except maybe in high lag/high packetloss environments online.
