The New Heavy MG’s are insanely effective for just a single hit or two on an airplane, on par with the 20 mm Flack.
Historically, I know Enlisted doesn’t really do realistic, these kinds of AA MG’s were largely totally ineffective against planes, because they could not hit them enough to do any real damage. they could not deliver the kind of concentrated fire necessary to bring down planes.
The Question is in Game… Do we need them to do this , this being AA Guns, we have AA guns now, and they are effective against planes, seams like over kill to me.
I can see them doing some slight damage, but the Black component hits I see from them after just one hit consistently is a bit nuts imo.
HMG is still more unreliable than AA. sure the DsHK has a good elevation/depression value but, not the MG131. AA is still better at Anti Aircraft because it has basically infinite elevation making for some 360 protection while HMG can be dodged by pilots who use their brains
