imho you have to distinguish between early and late war belts - you might check wt wiki regarding belts:

MMmmmmmmm I don’t care about most of your points, because they either point to realism or “b-but I do well with them!!! >:(((”
If a cannon can literally 1 shot the tail off an aircraft, then .50’s need to be buffed as well to have one shot potential. Orrrrrrr
make it like real shatter 1.0 and have it where the cannons are only slightly better :)
Dream on! MG’s have more rounds, and more guns per plane, many planes drop smaller caliber for bigger at a rate of 2 to 1. If you want cannons in USA go fly for the navy, interceptors or even strike aircraft. If you are not a USA main find a plane that has cannons.
“dream on!”
I honestly wish more people said that often.

.50 BMG is by no means just regular old rifle ammunition. And before you give me some Bs about the Barrett or some other .50 anti material rifle, in the context of war thunder and most military in general rifle caliber is the spectrum of rounds that would be used by a standard service rifle. If .50 bmg was a rifle caliber round, then soldiers would walk around with m82’s. But they do not, as there is a reason why only very specialized rifles use .50 bmg. That is recoil, cost, weight, and flexibility which are qualities some specialized soldiers give up for the power and accuracy of .50 bmg
Figure of speech. I can not call it a gun because in the military that would mean artillery piece ie cannon. You cant deny that it is on tge limit of rifle caliber
Hey, I’m not wrong though. If gaijin is fully aware of how insane Cannons are. Then either make .50’s completely shred, or give back the flamethrower nature of .50’s simple as. ALso, .50’s aren’t head-on kings. 20mms are. 1 20mm kills you. I can hit all day with .50’s and nothing
Dream on!. Was not to long ago that germans got there shells nerfed
They still 1 shot, basically all cannons 1 shot. They’re literally superior to .50’s in almost every circumstance.
Will do if they hit and a big if they hit the right spot, because they are bigger and have more explosive filler, but less velocity, less rate of fire, less pieces, less of them fitted, there are cannons like the Italian that are not effective past 300m.
Why dont you fly a plane that has cannons? If you cant hit a plane with 50 cal. Then you wont be any good with cannons.
And they dont all ways 1 shot
I do fly planes with cannons, again. I don’t care for you ‘explanation’ of filler. Because as stated above, gaijin knows well how over performing most guns do for damage. What I’m saying is. If I can fly planes with 500lb bombs worth of filler in each shell that can do massive damage to me in 1 shot anywhere while my .50s do literally sprinkles worth in glancing blows, why don’t they buff the rounds to be on par to how they were back in 2016?
Then i dont care for you’re lack of cope

how much did you ammo count decrease by?
First you’re not using the word right. Because that’s a really weird compliment with how you got it.
Two. You’re not disproving my point that 20mms are insanely ridiculously over powered in comparison to .50s
You can only say “But they have more explosive filler!” but that argument is moot when Gaijin admits they buff guns insanely because no one want to have to dump most of their ammo load into an aircraft to score a kill…
Except .50’s don’t get this same damage buff, at least not to the extent that cannons got the buff. Besides the occasional fire you can start.
Hard to kill most enemies that are either already doing a maneuver to avoid you so you can only get slight deflection shots. With cannons, I can literally click once, and the nose cannon of a Yak will just delete my enemy’s wing.
Where has gaijin said they buffed cannons? And i have not just talked about explosive filler, you zre compareing round for round
Literally 1 shot. I think I got the replay still, I was carrying the team in a Yak-1 and an F6F was doing the right thing BnZing me, hitting me with his weak .50’s several times. I only had 15 shots with my cannon left so I was being really spare with my ammo. Saw him, used my experience from the P-39 to time shots, and then blammo. Whole wing snapped snapped at his root. One shot.
How can a yak 1 meet a f6f they are over 1 BR apart. I think you are talking porkies.
Edit my bad i was looking at the 4.3 as my 3.3 was hidden under my not purchased f4f-4
Nah
Smin comment on the old forums when talking about weak damage models. Gaijin heavily buffs guns, specifically cannons because IRL some planes would be nearly impossible to kill without a fire or a pilot snipe. P-47 is notoriously known for this.
