Spritfire Mk Vc has four 20mm guns, but the damage feels really low. I hit enemy’s aircraft many times, but it did not even smoke. So, I go to Practice and use it to destory ballon. It needs to shoot 4 times to destory a ballon. SBD also needs to shoot 4 times, but it only has two 12.7mm guns. P-38E needs to use 20mm gun to shoot 2 times or use four 12.7mm guns to shoot 2 times to destory the ballon.
Well, the 20mm guns of P-38E are Americans, and they are different from British 20mm guns. Then, I tried the Spritfire Mk Vb. This aircarft has two same type of 20mm guns as the Spritfire Mk Vc. It also has four 7.7mm gun. I tried them both, and the resuly is very funny. The 20mm guns need to shoot 7 times(14 rounds) to destory a ballon, and the 7.7mm gun need to shoot 4 times(16 rounds).
So, is this means the British 20mm gun’s damage only a little higher than 7.7mm gun? And its damage is much lower than American 20mm gun and 12.7mm gun? Is this what really happened in history? Or it just because developers fill the wrong damage value?

Probably just shooting tea bags instead of proper munition, things like that happens from time to time.
Strange… I thought they fixed them. It also depends on the distance and angle with which you engage your target.
With the Tunisia Spitfire, I remove wings and tails from enemies planes with a single, 1 second salvoe… Works really well for me.
True it used to be bugged, thought.
Yesterday, I hit enemy aircraft from left to right in really close range. I saw explosions on his wing and body about 4 or 5 times. Then, there was nothing happened. No smoke, no fire. He flew about another 3 mins then crashed himself.
But you can destroy enemy really fast, so it is really strange.
Maybe. I saw I hit him, but the server thought I am not LOL.
Is not so strange, you never do a headshot, see the blood, and the instantly killed by the one you shoot?
If spitfire can fire the tea bags like FV4005, that will be awesome. xd

I hope hispano 20mm isn’t bugged again, I always use the Spitfire to dominate Tunisian skies… There simply isn’t anything that can counter it in the air.
Nah they work aganaist bomber tested now, a click and a bomber go down

Good. Maybe op was just unlucky… I hunt any axis plane with it and only need a click… works real well now.
Maybe there was a latency problem for op.

Glad that you mention this.
I totally agree.
Spitfire Mk Vb/trop with 2x 20mm hispano cannon and 120 rounds
Spitfire Mk Vc/trop with 4x 20mm hispano cannon and 480 rounds
They deliver very little damage, not enough for a 20mm cannon.
Sometimes a full load of ammo is not enough to take out a Stuka.
Which is shocking with 480 cannon rounds.
The P38E with 1x 20mm AN/M2 cannon and only 120 rounds does much more damage.
One hit/burst, one kill often.
So much more powerful.
So the Spitfire Vc has 4x more cannons and 4x more ammo than the P38 but is 4x LESS effective.
I also tested the difference between these cannons in practice, shooting at tanks.
Hispano doesnt do shit to them, while the AN/M2 cannon can actually destroy them.
Dont even get me started on my gold order Hurricane Mk IIB/trop with 12x 7.7mm MG with 4200 rounds.
Completely useless and pathetic.
Total waste of a gold vehicle order.
I can destroy more enemy planes by hanging out of the cockpit and shooting with my pistol at them, than with these MGs.
This has been like this much longer than the server problems.
Well I just came back here to report that I have used the golden Hurricane again a few times and I have been tearing enemy planes apart with just a burst or two…it wasnt like that before…so weird…
