I think he is talking about the 37mm gun of the P-39, which isnt weak at all I think. One or two hits is enough to kill any aircraft in the game.

The 37 mm is powerful indeed, but not ideal for deflection shooting, it's quite slow. One shot in the fueltank of a bf 109 is BOOM! And japanese planes are flying cigars, in general, so that isn't a problem for the cannon.

I saw a Corsair armed that way in CFS 2 once. That's when I quit CFS2.

After playing the game for sometime, you learn where to shoot.
Such that even the 303's can be deadly, but it takes a bit of time and patience.. you'll get there, but just enjoy the 'ride' in the meantime.

The 37mm is really of any practical use only against something flying straight and level, and that allows you the time to properly line up to it. It's RoF is way too slow to be reliable in maneuvering deflection shooting. If you score a hit with it in this circumstance it is because you got lucky.
