Yeah, I don’t get why it has to be this absurd.
Like, come on, at least have it so 20mm need two hits and 30mm just one.
The IL-2 is a flying joke and not a flying tank.
Why can’t we have planes require more hits or good aim and have better rewards for less kills?
Reality:
In WT one hit is enough and there’s nothing left.
Just look at the sizes and tell me how it makes sense that every plane takes the same amount of damage from explosive shells:

What happened?
i mean the shVAK is the strongest 20mm but rn all 20mm he onetap so…
it doesnt rlly matter
He was referencing real life :P
Strongest in what sense? There’s basically no weaker 20mm round than the ShVAK and B-20 FI-T shell weighing just 96g with merely 4.13g explosive filler. Well, there’s the German counterpart and the Ho-5 firing and even lighter shells with 4.53g filler.
Larger 20mm shells have at best 10-11g explosive or explosive-incendiary filler.
they all kill in 1 shot, that’s the issue.
no explosive filler matters since 1 firecraker is a 75% chance of wing obliteration
100%
It’s actually not 100%. Even when a surface turns black.
I tested it quite extensively, firing at IL-2s with a single ShVAK.
If you hit all over the place you can hit them 5-7 times without much effect.
Sometimes you one shot a wing or tail but often it requires two hits in the same area.
Then again, it switched my ammo from tracer to some other belt. So sometimes it was an API hit.
FI-T is the round with the most explosive filler of the shvak
No, that’s FI.
But thats only available in the stealth belt and only 1 out of 4.
It’s a bit odd that there’s more HEF in the belts as those were the pre-war shells, while the default belt has the newest shells.
FI-T didnt exist till mid 1942
