I was surprised by how quickly Sabre machine guns tear off the wings of the Mig-15. I was surprised by the power.. I did a quick test. I chose a Mustang and fired a very short burst at the B29, in about 1/4 second. You might be surprised, but I knocked him down.

I repeated the test (now with mustang), the pattern is the same. A very small number of hits is enough, white smoke appears a second later, and black smoke appears a few seconds later. After about 3 to 5 more seconds, a fire appears. It always appeared in my tests! Even if I fired a very short burst and hardly aimed.No matter how I shot, from any angle, just playing and making almost no effort, this huge B29 fell every time.. Is this normal? If so, I would like to use such machine guns in Il2 Great Battle 😉

Anyway, a huge thank you to everyone for developing the new IL-2. This new Il2 just blew my mind, and I can't stop flying on this amazing map! You guys rock! These planes and this map literally saved the genre for me!

The two are not comparable, these are M3, not one part was interchangeable between guns and neither was the ammo from an M3 safe to fire through an M2, much higher rates of fire and velocity was also higher.  They are not the same gun.  Try the Mustang, that one is, it has M2 guns.

A B-29 isn't made of paper.. and  it’s still just a .50 cal, not a 37mm cannon.. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this bomder called the Superfortress?

Anyway, if you had looked at the screenshots attached to my first post, you would have seen that I was testing the .50 cals using the Mustang.

Is the crazy spinns i see the F80s doing particularly realistic. I would assume if you did that in a real F80(seen somewhat similar but less extreme versions in the F86) i don't think you would ever recover the aircraft.  That stuff looks more like something you could do in a space sim with newtonion physics. Not a 1950s jet in atmosphere. If player are already gaming the physics after 2 days. I'm afraid online play might soon become some silly breaking physics meta game.
