CatWerfer has a video… well, multiple videos on this. It’s been bug reported numerous times… with no action other than the bug report being closed as a “duplicate” of a report from two + years ago… even though it isn’t. Worth a look if you want to navigate to that bug report, which he is now trying to leverage, to address this issue.

Guns have been going through some changes lately.
While I can tolerate needing to pump long bursts of 20mm into enemies to kill them, getting “hits” with 50mm HEF several times consecutively will make me lose my marbles.
That specific issue was fixed. Last time I checked at least. You could see how the HE shells didn’t even fuse on soft materials (in damage simulation), and after a recent change they started fusing.

You are right it does explode… but its just for show as no damage.
This is every game. Every kill Iv had has been head on pilot snipe. Best vic in game for assist challange tho lol
Wishing you strong mental resilience whenever you see “hit”

haha Id go crazy playing this plane
1st hits- crit, says this every game but seems to just scratch the paint
2nd hit explosion/ fire… doesnt even say hit
I follow him down and hit him again but ran out of bean bags and he flys away without an issue XD
nah the actual gall of OP to make another thread on the same issue
from your more recent thread. Clearly they do more than fine and main the F5, this also explains why you were so defensive over the F5 earlier

The Vulcan can brute force it with fire rate but the M39 did feel a bit weak
I just want to see one thing.
First, OP should stop skirmishing all over the forum, but choose one dedicated topic to discuss a single thing.
Example like…
One F-5 megathread
And another single 20mm cannon thread.

He has a K/D of 3 in the damn thing hes just gatekeeping a blatantly overpowered jet.
Everything else hes played is Average. seems odd for one thing to stick out that much and for it not to be an OP vehicle to blame

We would’ve bought Tiger FG.3/5 of our own.
British taxes would’ve ended this problem long ago :/
BTW, I haven’t used 20mm M39 recently.
But when I used it on either B-57B or F-100D, it was fine.
Feels like his Negativity Bias to me.

Well tbf, the F-100D does get 4 of them vs. 2 on the F-5
Fair enough. But what I meant was, it seems not the autocannon’s fault.
OP has a pretty good KD in his F-5C.
And when he claimed his M39 on F-5 is weak, according to the scoreboard which he uploaded, he scored 3 frags and was #1 in both kills and scoreboard in his team.
If F-5C is THAT bad as OP claims, maybe his killscore might be a bit lower.

Yea its blatant that hes just mad that a single bullet isnt kill each time
The 20mm guns are the best in game. Sometimes you get a ‘hit’ but these guns are way better than 30mm DEFA for example which you will also get ‘hits’. At least the 20mm guns are fast enough to turn ‘hits’ into critical hits or severe damage.

Defas are not that bad tbh
IMO the worst ones are right now german mineshell (Minengeschoß) on ww2 planes.
German cannons did seem kinda weak to me but I’m not skilled enough to tell without a doubt
yet gsh23l still nukes anything it touches with just a single shell, but people keep coping hard because it’s “bad velocity” that happens to be among the best velocity past a second off the muzzle of any other sub 30mm gun in game.

You’re joking, right?

Idk what parallel universe you’re living in, the Vulcan is consistently amazing for damage, and velocity wise it’s nearly second to none.
The amount of times i’ve wished that other airframes have vulcans (like the J-10s or EFTs) for the sole prupose that they are the easiest and most user friendly guns at top tier, and are only second to the high velocity DEFAs imho (found on the M2K)
