Before they did some audit whenever, I got kills with the tail guns fairly often. Now, axis bombers go down so easily, there’s hardly a chance to get a shot off
that Ackis machinegun really flung a wall of lead
i swear the damn forward-firing MGs on the Stooka hit like twin 20mm Hispano cannons
always made me think they were buffed, y’know, like teh tri-wing 109
There IS the tankbuster 20mm 87-G in game now, but it fires like the tankbuster would, single shots, so pretty ace pilot to land hits on fighter planes with those.
I used to refer to the early Stuka as the F-87.
We used to have tankbuster BF 109s back in the early days when I could take out a Souma engine with my 20mm. I remember the forum flipping out over that where the allies were wondering how 20mm HE took out a tank and the Axis insisting that like every 3rd round was AP and showing diagrams of how thin the top armor was, so it was historically correct.
Hmm, and the collective Allied memory is not a thing was done to correct/nerf depending on your POV, until the D510 came along with HE cannons and started strafing the SHIT out of panzers, after which a ‘fix’ went in pretty quick to take away all the strafing.
Axis has a long rich whiny tradition too, and in the early going got fixes done fast, probably because of more organized whining.
Yeah, I remember that now. The 520 was tearing the shit out of the Panzers and that’s why i think there was more whining. From what i remember, it took some skill to hit the right spot on the set to disable it, so probably it was less of an issue. The real scourge in those days was the Stuka and working bombs coupled with the missmodeled 109s owning the air. For a time the only way allied armor could fight was from beneath one of those indestructable 2d trees.
It would literally fall out of the sky if you lost too much E.
Pilot error? That kinda reminded me of this:
