So can anyone with Shvaks, the difference is, Shvaks can actually hit their target at few hundred meters.
Wrong.
Shvak on Yak-3e alone is more armanent tham Bf 109 K4 has at 5.7
MG is just a cherry on top. Yak3e has no business being anywhere else but 4.7
Same applies to normal Yak-3. The fact 1 has slightly less armanent doesn’t matter, as both can dismantle a Bf 109 by hitting 1 20mm shell to the wing.
True, at 7.3 it would still deny the enemy any chance of dogfighting and it would still outclimb, outturn and out-energy everything
Yeah, essentialy BI can run 40% (which is enough power to outperform anyone else AND outturn them) for like 10m straight. At 20% it has fuel for more than the match lasts.
The trick to have super good performance at 40%?
Use up at least 40% of fuel.
People act like this plane needs full power to turn well.
Once it drops 40-50% of fuel, it needs way more to turn crazy-good, and at 1m of fuel left, it can still happily last till the match ends.
you dont even need the 20 mm you can onetap most enemys with only one of the two 50cals on the yak3
so there is no point for the yak3(e) [basically a yak3 at 4.0 which performs slightly better (you wont notice it) and has one less OP gun (you also wont notice this) ] to be this low
Yea Russian stuff is OVERperforming, NOT-Russian is UNDERperforming - 1’st law of WT.
IRL 30mm minenrounds could LITERALLY cut a bomber’s tail IN A HALF, with single round. 20mm was less powerful, but still devastating. Meanwhile in WT they are HIT’geshoB xd
You lot are just as bad as the people who complain in grb. You ever think your the problem? Not the nation you lot always seem to complain about?
Anyways, have you ever fired a shotgun at skeet in real life? Do you get lead? I do. And I do it rather well in the BF-109Z. And can do it well in the BI, but the BI’s cannons are weaker. ADMIT IT.
136g HE vs 6.7g HE that is 20.29 times higher HE mass for the mk-108s over the shvaks.
like i told you you should try ANY other nation (also like said before play ARB) and tell me your expirience
so stop compalining and actually try other nations before you say that there are no russian bias cuz i can tell you russian aircraft (rank 1-4 i cant talk about anything higher) are overperforming
almost 5 people vs you
Maybe it’s time to think just a little? are shvak cannon more reliable than mk-108s? Is BI-1 a lack in performance? Is the fuel “downside” actually real? Is your aim actually the best?
Well Mk108 has huge punch BUT it’s inaccurate as hell, slow as hell (short barrel), huge bullet drop. Which means that 20mm is much better than 30mm because of all of these things - it’s much easier to hit someone with 20mm than 30mm.
Which means WHENEVER you can, you pick 20mm rounds. So in general, MK108 are worse.
And BTW every 20mm is currently overperforming, with Hispano and MG151/20 the least, because MG151/20 has one of the worst belt and HE charge that actually COULD wreck planes and Hispano because the belt is so bad you are not doing damage with half the shells, lol.
