Nah, fireball
Still decent as long as you use like 300-400m gun convergence
Skill issue. It’s literally the most lethal weapon if you know what you’re doing.
It gets FULL AP-I belts on most fighters (which also have multiple 50cals) you need to hit ONE (1) round and your enemy is burning. It also directly counters the bombers buff. Forgot to mention that you get a lot in your mags and you can just spam until you get a fire.
On tanks, it’s one of the only mgs that are able to destroy most map objects (you can easily clear garbage out of the way) and can easily track enemies. You can even destroy smaller gun barrels with it.
Absolute skill issue.

That’s what I’m doing, just need to get more patient, climb and pick engagements properly.
jet gameplay got me used to being able to do some really dumb stuff and getting away with it, not here
staying way away from these goobers

I hate climbing. And the bearcat/p39 doesnt mind that at all
or if it touches the spar…
the wing will just be cut off clean
Yeah somehow, I have no idea how that’s possible. If anything it should be nerfed lol. I still have ptsd of my bombers having the wings fall off after getting hit by a singular 50cal round (get real).
yea it was a bit weak rn
well
now its rlly strong
eh
50cals hard counter it
soooo like
only made 50cals even better
and for props they are already like imho one of the best guns
Im not sure im understanding what you’re saying, could you repeat that normally please?
turns out I can’t aim .50s gg

bomber dms were rather stupidly weak at that time
now they are stupidly strong but it doesnt matter at all for 50s since 50cals just hard counter the skin that acts like armor
With tracers you will pick up fast. Maybe you are overleading? With jets you lead much more so maybe you need to tune that down, props are slow and 50cals are relatively fast.
Also, early jets are fun. Go check out how OP the F-86A-5 is right now. 6x 50cals, lots of downtiers, amazing FM for 8.0
Yep I agree, hence why this thread is useless.

yea for props they kinda feel awkward sometimes
esp with the rudder compression of the US props
I’m probably underleading more, just need to get used to it
my main concern is relearning how to engage who and when
The thickest a .50 cal can penetrate is 40+mm of armor. But that’s newer munitions, and roughly, though; take with a grain of salt: 45 mm at the max, though very unlikely; it’s closer to 40 mm.
i mean the OR does not exclude that both are the case
a XOR would

Burst mass for burst mass, 50 Cals, 20mm anm3s, and mg151s feel like they don’t do near the damage to other weapons like Shvaks and Hispanos.
net rlly
ig the 151/20s are rather lacking but that mostly comes from their belts always having the 2 useless shells being directly fired after each other i think
never had a problem with 50cal dmg
