    My guess: he is a liar. 18 kills in 1 sortie? That must be a target hit with every 3rd shell -- 30% accuracy, and all hits must be deadly (not flaps). Yes I can deliver that effectiveness, but shooting 1-2 30mm shell bursts from distances below D3 (D2-D1 in general). NOT SPRAYING! Why I say that? Because once upon a time I was shooting at a plane from D2, pilot of which didn't see me. Approach, D2, gunsight pointing exactly at the hstab/vstab intersection, 2 shell burst... first shell passes some 0.5 m left of the left wing tip, second -- the same right of the right wing tip... I nearly fell of off my chair!

    And with that "precision" of MK-108 he claims 18 kills in one sortie via spraying :rolleyes:

    Any of the axis planes with the 30 mm. They squirt lead out like the the Russian 7.6mm, while the P39 and Yak 9 (37mm) have a rate of fire like 5 rounds per minute. An axis 30mm on your six just plain sucks.

    But there's no German plane able to turn like the P-39 does... and both 109G14 and 190A8R8 aren't comparetively so fast and good at acceleration as they come out... P-39 is. More - I already wrote in starting post- on equal terms- equal alt, equal speed... 109K cannot compete with anything but Ki61 on such terms (in that way that it can run away from Hien) when it comes out:D

    I know im probably telling you something you already know, but that sounds more like a deflection error to me, rather than ballistics.

    The only airplane I was afraid of was an old AN-2 with coughing engine which used to fly over my house from time to time.

    Now this threat disappeared as the pilot flies over different parts of the city.

    I used to fly iL-", but my computer is down at the moment, but when I will be back I will also have DSL. What is your nick there?

    And your right, that game is just amazing.. when I go back to play warbirds it feels like a arcade game

    Before I could use the ki to have good fights with you, now I wonder wich one I will use in iL-2!
