what the hell is this, the 50 cals can shred my Ju 188 and Bf 110 in seconds while I need to dump half a BF 109 G-6 to kill a P-38 with almost all rounds hitting and around 3/5 for an A-20??? come man, the german 13mm and 20mm have HE ammo and they can shred planes so fast in war thunder. I have video proof

Why do people always say that without just putting a video in the OP.

False information.
I’m a german main, I can down a P-38 in less than 5 seconds.
False information again, doesn’t take more than 10 rounds placed in the engine of the A-20 to make him unable to fly.

the video is compressed idk why, but the chat said that i have dumped 2 bf 109 rounds on the P38 with at least 2/5 of it hitting
Your shooting is giving me a stroke.
At best you landed 10 shots out of everything you fired. The rest missed horribly.
The only problem here is you.

Actually hit your target for one
Aim for engines and wingtips. The tail tanks rounds now.

alright then though guy, how about this?
Dude you’re barely hitting him with the 13s much less the 20s
You could have shot him down before his bombing run at the very beginning wtf
What’s with the super jerky movements too, your aiming should be done smoothly.

You seem to have problems understanding how killing things works.
You see Ivan, in order to kill enemy, first you must HIT the enemy.

i don’t get it man, you’re saying like all of my shot HAVE to be hitting it, it’s really hard man and i want to kill the plane fast because i don’t want another plane to spawn and get on my six. But i think i really have hit that A-20 very much well enough that it should’ve been downed, but it didn’t. If you think i did bad, then i want to see how YOU do it.
here’s the last one, i may not do well in the start but then i sprayed him with all i got and i think at least 120 rounds of 13mm and 75 rounds of 20mm has hit that A-20, that should’ve goddamn killed it. If you think i still did bad then i don’t know what to say. Put the video in 720p or something to see my shots and the hit marker. If that was a 50 cal, i would’ve shred that plane in 4 seconds.

you missed alot in the beginning, and you continued shooting when it was leaking fuel, i usually pull off when that happens due to a limited flight after that, and then at the end you were likely piloted sniped
The last clip actually shows that it is not completely “l2p” issue. It is not normal that a plane can withstand such amount of damage. Same thing in Berlin with 20mm cannons and Stukas. From the personal experience - you must get really close, like 30 meters, then it begins to take actual damage and dies pretty quickly.

➤finally hit, enemy is leaking fuel
➤keep wasting ammo for no reason
➤g-game is b-bad, n-nerf p-plane!
If that was a 50 cal it wouldn’t do shit. The approach to the Ju-188 with the 50 cals is the same, gun it’s engines until it starts leaking and then leave. It’ll crash in a minute or less.
Making planes stop existing within one bullet is idiotic since the AI constantly flicks up and shoots the plane. We’ve had that, and it wasn’t fun. This is better. Not perfect, better.

so what am i supposed to do? again I want to see how you do it.
let me explain my problem,
okay i may not be able to always see the american planea behind me since the planes here don’t have rear mirrors and looking back over the cockpit window doesn’t show you the enemy right behind you, so when i fly the Ju 188 or when i fly the Bf 109, without knowing an enemy is behind me, they shred me within seconds either the plane is a P-38, a P-51, or worse a P-47. So i like to keep watch my plane damage indicator on the left, since the game doesn’t really play a sound for me when you get hit firstly so i watch if it suddenly turns yellow or if i see any tracers going over the plane. If i was in a Ju 188 then i would roll right to left and try to kill the enemy with bombs using the tactic that exists in War Thunder ( which kinda works ) and if i was in a Bf 109 i would just go into a horizontal spin trying to outturn the enemy. It works sometimes, it works, but sometime the damage is already just too severe in just 2 seconds where my right or left wing is literally black or the tail and elevator is black and i just fall to the ground. Can you do the same to American planes? like come on, the German 13mm is not really as good as the 50 cal though it has HE ammo but the 20mm also have a pretty good HE ammo, i understand the War Thunder physics in this game and god dammit i played war thunder for more than a year, but this one is literally realistic battles with only a cockpit view an with aiming indicator for the enemy. The way i see it… i may be wrong so please correct me, the damaging mechanic is the same as in War Thunder, just the rounds do less damage than in War Thunder as you can just fly to the resupply point instead of landing on an airfield, i see that as a very fair mechanic for this game. But the 50 cal i see it seem to be just weaker than the 50 cal in WT where it can shred my plane’s wing in 2 seconds. Now what about the video i showed you? i should’ve done quite damage there man, i wasted my ammo on him to show you that the rounds are doing little damage other than making it leak. I expected to rip the wings off that plane or set the plane on fire with all that rounds but guess what? it didn’t. So what am i doing wrong and what am i supposed to do?

Buddy, don’t believe couch experts, you’re at least a good shot. The last video is a prime example of a broken damage model. In War Thunder the A-20 would have collapsed three times in that time.
If someone who rebuked you for misses shows a video of him putting his entire stock of Brownings in without a miss, I’ll admit that he’s a good pilot, but that’s not going to happen.
I have never on an airplane killed an American airplane pilot, in the back for sure. But to me, when I fly a bomber, the enemy kills the pilot every 4-5 times with the first shot, not to mention the overall destruction rate of the plane.
