.50's deserve a buff

Buff ?

.50 cal is already way past its historical pen values

Yeah, I’ve been playing 2.7-6.7 Germany, planes absolutely melt to .50 cal, light your engine on fire, rip a wing, I’ve even had my tail ripped clean off from 1 shot, sorry, hit.

I mean M2 50cals are fine imo unless somtimes works RNG and wipe enemy aircraft with single burst but, problem is M3 50cals that is used by most late 1940s to early 1950s are overperforming for somehow.

Yeah they are fine where they are, no need to change .50 cals rn

In this case more realism goes hand and hand with better gameplay.

I’m sorry but Warthunder is 13+
Roblox allows 12 y/os last I checked.

Yeah, because 12- year olds understand fluid dynamics, mechanical engineering, and physics. Or were you talking to yourself?

dang you’re only now learning physics? Someone’s late to the party

It’s okay to project onto others, we understand.

young and slow. took an hour to get past your tears and respond with more cope huh?

No, I was actually busy playing blackjack with my friends.

seems like ChatGPT is being extra slow giving excuses today

Must be, anywho, let’s cut you short of being an average redditor, and let’s actually talk about how the .50’s don’t need a buff.

Oh, yeah, not to mention the fact that LaserDestroy agreed with my factual explanation, while you continue to shun me. Very mature.

“waaa don’t nerf 20mm waaaa!” “ur just uneducated!!!”

Yeah, very factual explanations.

.50 cal is gonna mess up a fighter jet, certainly not a peashooter. They are basically unarmored and have lots of fragile components. Stuff like A-10 and Su-25 will have more resistance to it, but they aren’t immune to it. Even helicopters like the hind will have trouble against .50 from a machine gun, it’s a very potent round. 20-30mm is used because in the short time-frames of having a firing window in jet combat, the maximum amount of damage must be inflicted upon the target.

  1. The 20mm is pretty accurate as is

  2. Yes, if you want to come complain about a subject that you aren’t willing to be open minded or learning about, you are not only uneducated on the subject, you are biting the hands that feed you knowledge on the subject

  3. Yes; the explanations were indeed factual, you can also source @Laserdestroy_1 to second that, again.

.50 caliber isn’t a peashooter, but when compared to 13.2mm, 20mm, and 30mm, it absolutely is.

The fire rate of the aircraft mounted .50 caliber (M3, the model which is mounted on aircraft) has a fire-rate of 1200-1300. The M61A1 Vulcan of the 20mm range, fires 6000 RPM. The M/75 AKAN on the JA viggens have 1350 RPM, and the Mauser 27mm on the JAS and Alpha jets have a fire rate of 1700 RPM. All of these, having a higher fire rate, also release larger rounds in a second. Notably, the M/75 is nearing the M61 is KG/S, just because it has 10 extra mm diameter and size.

lmao bro thinks 1 single 20mm destroy a bomber is accurate.
Som1 plays too much Germany

This video does a good job compiling research the British did.
