do not say i am a bad shot because last time i checked my rank is ~5000 of ALL players in aircraft destroyed
If I’m not wrong those are only equipped in ships and ground vehicles, specifically 20mm/70 Oerlikon Mk. II,
Depending on ammo you’re using, but, they’re only 20mm cannons, and, using HE-I with 5g to 6g of TNT filler isn’t that good, unless you hit it multiple times, in the case o AP-I you’ll most overpen the vehicle unless you hit spar or something to be able to destroy it,
In this case, over 500 meters the distance will do damage, but not that much, you’ll need a few more burst to shoot something down; in 1 000 meters or more it’s time to change for another target, over this is no damage at all,
And considering the target you’re firing is something that may influence on your/on the cannon, weapon, performance.
Should use the 17pdr instead:

Idk man where did you get the top 5000 number from
i am not buying the first comment, sorry.
These shells fly at just under 1000 m/s.
Under 1000 m i will tear your wings off.
On my player card it will rank you in the month as per ship, planes, and tanks destroyed.
I am something like 160 K for tanks destroyed and 5 K for shooting down planes.
Why don’t all of you try the gun for yourselves?
I should add that I am sure my team is quite happy when I am doing AA duty because I have wing breaker many times.
Just checked player card — 4642
I just tested it, there is something weird going on.
at like 1.5km the bullets basically “phase” through the plane (it at least looks like that on my screen).
i took the British AEC AA into test drive on arcade mode, used the “track vehicle” button to make it easier to actually hit. and at anything above like 1.1-1.2km the bullets seem to magically stop doing damage and go straight through the plane instead.
Could it have something to do with the fuse sensitivity? that the speed of the round is to slow to trigger the HE explosion?
it is 980 m/s.
i only use HE.
Thank you very kindly for taking the time to investigate this.
I am sure you know the British are very clever and would not allow this in reality so I think this is something the programmer did.
Do you have any sway with Gaijin?
Thanks Again
838m/s according to the wiki (and the AP ammo says 830m/s in game as well) for the AEC AA at least.
and that isn’t a constant speed. it slows down while flying through the air.
HEF-I and HEFI-T combo belt right?
i sadly do not.
I’ve noticed using the TCM-20 with it’s twin 20mm and HEFI-T, I can’t do any real damage. It’s states HE, but there is no blast or puff (I assume that’s what should occur) that I can see.
I’ve stopped using it and just the M109 with HE-VT and it’s .50cal.
