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.
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.
My experience with the 30mm ADEN, its all down the belts used.
Some do good damage others kinda suck. I suspect this is largely the fault of the rubbish damage models we have, Rounds impact, and do damage, but dont hit anything important, but in my experience stealth belts seem to be quite consistant (on the 30mm ADEN) but at the cost of no tracers which you do kinda need on the ADEN.
30mm guns on Rafale (against air targets) and Su-34 (against ground targets) have been consistent for me. Tomorrow I’ll try something lower BR with 30mm guns, but I don’t think it will change.
The NEXTER on Rafale only has a SAPHEI belt, and I presume you are using the ground target belt on Su-34 GSh. The damage issue is a result of little or no damage from HE round explosions so the guns you listed will not feel any different than in the past.
I also confirm, I don’t know in what world a DEFA 552A cannon of the Kfir C.10 (which should really be the DEFA 553 variant that doesn’t clog) produces a “hit” when it should destroy the enemy wing or cause considerably more damage, but a Vulcan only needs to graze my plane to take me out of action.
You’re acting really aggressive over a question regarding your proximity to the servers. Sweden is massive and many players know where others are from. You’ve been an absolute douchebag to me all across this time. You ought to log off the internet for a good time.
this happens because gaijin doesn’t model kinetic destruction power on HE type shells. It’s ridiculous, only Ap type rounds can do that hence why Vulcan and GSh23L are so good because they have loads of API-T rounds that nuke targets upon touching them with a couple of shells. But 27mm+ cannons don’t do such things. It’s ridiculous (again) because you expect in real life to destroy something if you hit it with some 30mm wide thing going many times the speed of sound. Like blowing up an entire canopy, tearing off the propeller hub, or cut off a wingtip.
