Ho-155, Type 5, ADEN, Akan, mk108 and many other 30mm aircraft cannons deal virtually no damage with either of the available belts.
Because they tend to have less fire rate individually and less of them totally=> less DPS
Really? My 30mm ADEN/DEFA had no problem with either fragging a fighter or can-opening the light pillbox.
Sounds like either one of
1- lame exaggeration.
2- skill issue of yours
3- Negative bias.
I’m gently telling you that
Stop biasing your American steady seller by disgracing the British wonder.
This is not about fire rate, this is about a single click of aden dealing less damage than a single click of 20mm shvak on the same target.
the Japanese 30mms feel horrendous rn

I haven’t flown with my J5N1 for months so I am unsure about Japanese 30mm cannons
But I am doubly sure about DEFA and ADEN.
This topic really sounds like a negative bias to me.
yeah the high tier 30mms feel fine. some of the prop ones feel worse than they did than say a few months ago, i can’t pinpoint exactly when but it feels like some of them, the he filler doesn’t do as much damage as they used to
not really negative bias, the moment the AP round hits it does nothing, as if kinetic destruction force only worked for 50 cals
I’ll take gsh23l damage and ballistics any day over any other top tier gun.
30mm cannons are alright. I’m not saying that mentioned cannons are great but they kill targets when you score multiple hits. Problem is (rather) low volume of fire compared to something like 6x.50 cal or gatling cannons, if you will.
There’s also that slight issue; although HE deals good damage to aircrafts AP/P shells won’t do much unless they snipe a critical part. So not every hit is a killing blow. Even 50mm cannons do next to nothing when they punch through wings with AP. Just saying.
It reaaaly sounds like negative bias to me.
1 click of the 30mm AP belt was all I need to do against the light pillbox
Also, AA belt does fine against air targets.
As long as we are all human beings, nobody can escape bias.
Eehhh… okaaay. It is your choice, so I respect it.
Just don’t spread misinformation about ADEN.
It is a British wonder that was designed by ADE, and built by the RSAF Enfield.
then your rng must be cracked. Are you from Sweden? It’s quite a fact that EU server has terrible hitreg the lower you are on the continent. Canary Islands have the absolute worst.
None of your business, mate.
Assuming the birthplace by Nickname is inaccurate and a bit dangerous.
Now this feels like a conspiracy instead of bias.
adens have been alright despite some occasional sparks
type5/ho155 and mk108 on yt clips aren’t good rn
I can confirm. Hit Yak-9K twice in the same wing, only superficial damage. But even 37mm cannons are “not doing great”.
People claiming it’s all fine are delusional or lying or just have no ide what they’re seeing.
This and my next post in that topic:
