The only Jet with low velocity cannons is the Me 262, well and the Me 163.
All other Jets have high velocity cannons or HMGs, with the Soviet 23mm and 37mm cannons being on the lower end of the spectrum.
Why not? The guns totally demolish bombers and they are much easier to hit since they are big and slow moving targets.
They can also equip the R4M rockets which insta kill a bomber in one hit.
So everything is in favor of attacking bombers over fighters with the Me 262.
We’re not discussing all other jets we’re discussing jets used in WW2.

With how the map design is. They are.
If you are not in a full downtier planes like F-80, F-84 or F-2H are better suited for that. They are faster and can hit the bomber on longer range.
I would not want to endanger my ME 262 for a bomber kill. Certainly of it os not an opportunistic one.
The potential loss of energy could also make you easy pray for aicraft which are superior in a equal energy state anyway.
Bringing the R4M in ARB is very risky since you only increase your disadvantage against enemy fighters.
P51 H-5 6.3 out does me262 in everthing but fire power and top speed but it can keep up so can the f7f the f8f aswell the merlin spitfire late variants can too
they need a airspawn simple Photo is a b17 hit by a mk108
all me262 execpt the C models and the 57mm one are best for Boom and zoom style the C models are good energy fighters with there boosters and the 57mm in air combat is extremely hard ive played almost all models of 262 execpt the jabo and 57mm cannon one
And you do not really face those aircraft in game.
So the potential damage of MK-108 is irrelevant especially since it is not necessarily as good in game.
oh no i was just showing the damage a mark 108 can do
I’m all about the actual WW 2 Swallows and the Stormbird and I know how to play them you can actually dogfight more than you think but the issue are some of the aircraft you face or your very own teams.
yes mig 15 is a pain and the f86 but they tend to be how should i puty this not skill based
there is one problem and thats really only the a1a i think it really needs just a air spawn as it is pain to play most of the time
These aircraft are so good that skill plays a secondary role usually.
depends i have deafeated a f86 a5 in a dog fight but that was because i energy trapped him
Certainly possible but not the expected outcome.
The most painful moments are when your team gets you killed by disappearing. In those situations so.e aircraft are simply not good enough to pull through.
Especially German bomber teams in a downtier or at 5.0 till 6.7 are the horror.
5 fighter and 11 unwieldy bombers or strikefighters against 2 bombers and 14 fighters and a2a capable strike fighters…
idk what happened but theres small chance of a new me262
me262 hg1
I wish they would just fix the old ones.
Oh hell no.
